Description

Nestled in a serene cul-de-sac, this detached family home offers a unique blend of comfort and potential for renovation. Constructed from reconstituted stone with striking red brick accents, this property has been cherished by its owners for over two decades, benefiting from the tranquility of its traffic-free location while remaining conveniently close to local amenities. The property features efficient electric heating, with mains gas readily accessible if desired. The inviting living area boasts an open fireplace, creating a warm atmosphere for gatherings during the colder months. A standout feature of the home is the double-glazed conservatory, which provides an abundance of natural light and opens directly onto a private west-facing garden. This outdoor space is not only perfect for enjoying afternoon sunshine but also presents opportunities for landscaping or garden enhancements. Inside, there’s significant potential to modernize the existing kitchen, which is functional yet ripe for customization or expansion—particularly into the adjoining dining area. This flexibility allows new owners to tailor the layout to their lifestyle needs. The study, originally part of the garage, serves as a valuable bonus space that could be adapted further depending on your requirements. The remaining section of the garage has been transformed into a practical dry storeroom equipped with lighting and power. Upstairs accommodates three bedrooms: two spacious doubles and a single room—all served by a family bathroom. The home's layout offers ample off-road parking with a driveway plus an additional space at right angles to the house, adding convenience for families or guests. This property represents an excellent opportunity not just as a comfortable home but also as an investment with considerable potential for improvement in a welcoming neighborhood. Its location puts it within reach of both Witney's vibrant amenities and Minster Lovell's historical charm, making it appealing for both families and professionals alike. Minster Lovell itself is rich in character and history, featuring notable landmarks such as the picturesque ruins of Minster Lovell Hall along the River Windrush. The village offers local conveniences including pubs and shops, while quality schooling options are nearby. With good transport links to Witney and further afield—including mainline rail services to Oxford and London—this property stands out as an ideal choice for those looking to invest in both lifestyle and future value.
