House For Sale £400,000
Giernalls Road, Hailey, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29


Description
An exceptional village house with open fireplace, enchanting gardens and a substantial garage plus off street parking in fresh decorative order. Scope for extension subject to consents.

THE PROPERTY:

Features such as an open fireplace, bay window, mature private garden and pastoral views are normally only associated with period homes and often involves compromises on parking, ground floor bathrooms and convenience of gas central heating and double glazing.

This fabulous house offers the answer!

It is a very substantial home that retains its separate reception rooms (one of which has a striking art deco fireplace) and has a bright modern kitchen that opens into a lovely sunroom - the ideal place to enjoy a cup of morning coffee.

The upstairs is a landing with a window to the side. There are two generous double bedrooms (one with far reaching rural views) plus a third single room that is free of the instructive stair bulkheads found in so many houses of this era. A smart bathroom with gleam white traditional sanitary ware completes the accommodation.

To the front is a well-tended garden with a central lawn fringed with specimen planting. A path leads gently down to street level and the elevated position means the road to the front seems to disappear from view when in the house.

The private rear garden has a feel of the tropics in the Cotswolds. There is a timber deck to one side and a trellis separates the rear garden from an area of off street parking to the front of the longer than average garage. This dry space benefits from roof insulation, light and power and is used by the present owner as a workshop and has potential for use as a home office or garden room.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.

SITUATION:

Although the house fronts Delly Hill and has an attractive village outlook from a slightly elevated position, vehicular access is to the rear off Giernalls Road as shown on the site plan.

The house is positioned within the village's Conservation Area. Hailey has a vibrant village community with amenities including a preschool and Church of England primary school (judged "good" in Ofsted reports in 2016 and again in the most recent inspection in 2019). There is also a hairdresser and a 17th-century pub with inglenook fireplace where one may play the traditional Oxfordshire game of Aunt Sally and bar billiards. The village has cricket and football clubs whilst Witney's rugby club has its grounds at the edge of the village. St John the Evangelist church was completed in the 19th century and is an example of French Gothic style. There is community woodland that was planted in 2003 and the village holds an annual festival. There is a mainline service to London Paddington from Charlbury (about 6 miles away) with journey times from 76 minutes. Oxford Parkway station lies approximately 12 miles away with services to London Marylebone (journey time 59 minutes).
The nearby town of Witney has a comprehensive range of higher order amenities that include secondary schools, hospital and a rich variety of shops, street cafes and excellent sporting facilities.
