House For Sale £775,000
A superbly presented and extended village house with beautiful sylvan outlook. Positioned near the end of a prestigious cul-de-sac near the edge of a favoured village with excellent community and good amenities.
THE PROPERTY:
Although a handsome property from the front, the real appeal of this fine home lies within and behind.
At its heart is a sizable dining kitchen that spans the width of the house and is fitted with a range of sleek kitchen cabinets complemented by quality integrated appliances and expansive quartz work surfaces. The adjacent garden room has a vaulted ceiling and independent underfloor electric heating. It provides the ideal vantage point to enjoy the garden and woodland outlook.
To the front is an elegantly proportioned sitting room with bay window and a separate study.
Upstairs the landing has ladder access to a part boarded loft with light & power. There are four comfortable double bedrooms, some with fitted wardrobes and attractive dormer windows that add character.
The principal suite has a shower room and lovely outlook across the garden to the woodland beyond.
The family bathroom is fitted to a high standard with enamel bath with independent rain head shower above.
To the front of the house is a neat open plan garden with a drive providing private off-street parking on the approach to the garage. Wider than average, the garage is designed to allow car doors to be easily opened. It features light, power, composite floor and electrically operated up and over door plus a further pedestrian door to the side. There is access via a retractable ladder to the loft space.
The house has an impressive 'B' rated EPC that reflects the high standards of insulation, double glazing and zoned gas central heating system with the added convenience of Hive control.
Adjacent to the house is a wide terrace ideal for al fresco entertaining. This leads past a double glazed summer house with tool shed to one side.
Adjacent to the house is a wide terrace ideal for al fresco entertaining. This leads past a double glazed summer house with tool shed to one side. The lovingly tended garden is surrounded by an asymmetric lawn and illuminated by LED lights. It is kept private and secure by a pedestrian gate. One really needs to view the property to experience the sublime feeling of tranquility the garden provides. The woodland view and gentle whispering of the breeze in the leaves enhances the sense of serenity
Local Authority: West Oxfordshire District Council (Band F).
The communal lawns, trees, hedges, streetlights and flower meadow at the rear of the cul-de-sac are maintained by 'Banner Property Services Ltd’. The cost is divided between the owners with an annual 'Estate Charge' to each house of £465 per annum.
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:
TThe village of Ducklington lies approximately one mile south of Witney and its grouped around a green with a pond and has a population of around 1,600 served by St Bartholomew Church. Although the origin of the name is unclear, the village is one of the earliest Saxon settlements in Oxfordshire. Nowadays, it is notable for the rare Fritillary flower that was largely lost in the intensive drive of food production during the Second World War. In addition to its Morris dancing side, the village plays host to Witney Chess Club, and also has a Sports and Social Club with several cricket and football teams. The village's four star hotel provides private leisure club facilities for members that include a pool, spa and treatments whilst the brasserie and bar are open to all.
The original school building was opened in 1858 and is a fine example of Victorian Gothic. The last Ofsted report (2023) noted that the Church of England primary school "continues to be good" and is supported by wrap around childcare. The active community has a Facebook page where the latest news will be found. The A40 to the north of the village connects to Oxford and Cheltenham. More extensive shopping and recreational amenities are available in the adjacent market town of Witney, where there is also a hospital, cinema and several other higher order services.
