Windmill Road, North Leigh, Nr. Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29

Backing onto a field, this well-presented bungalow has a sunny southerly rear aspect, plenty of parking and is offered with early vacant possession.

THE PROPERTY:

Approached via a roomy and useful lobby, an attractive herringbone floor continues through the centre of the bungalow with the well-presented accommodation radiating off it. Ther are tow comfortable bedrooms and another sizeable double used as the main bedroom and, because of its appealing sylvan outlook would also make an impressive second reception room.
The bathroom has been refitted with a modern waiter suite with an independent shower above the panel bath with central mixer tap.
The current living room has an on trend broken plan lay out opening into a bright and modern breakfast kitchen with timelessly elegant shaker style floor and wall cabinets, tradition ceramic one and a half bowl sink, and integrated appliances. Patio doors connect this space to stone terrace and creeper-clad pergola that is an ideal outdoor entertaining area or the perfect place to enjoy a glass of something soaking in the serenity of the garden on a summer's evening.

The property backs onto an open field and has a sizeable area of gravelled off-street parking on a generous forecourt to the front.

West Oxfordshire District Council (Tax band C).

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.

Tenure - Leasehold: the property benefits from a 2,000 year lease granted July 1939.

Such a very long lease with a peppercorn ground rent is, for all practical purposes, equivalent to a freehold title because it provides nearly perpetual ownership and use of the property without significant financial obligations. The nil ground rent eliminates any meaningful ongoing cost, while the extensive rights and control granted to the leaseholder mirror those of a freeholder, ensuring security, stability, and market value that are virtually indistinguishable from a freehold title.

THE VILLAGE:

Affectionately known as 'Nor Lye' by the locals, North Leigh is located approximately three miles from Witney and originated as a post medieval settlement. It has two local pubs (one renowned for Mexican cuisine), church, village shop and post office, library, primary school (rated 'good' by Ofsted in 2023) and sports teams for both cricket and football. A small supermarket and further amenities are available in nearby Long Hanborough. There are many good country walks nearby.

From Hanborough station (c.3 miles) there are regular trains into London Paddington (journey time 69 minutes) and to the dreaming spires of Oxford (10 minutes).

The nearby market town of Witney also has a rich variety of shops, restaurants, a leisure centre and cinema as well as higher order services including a hospital and tertiary education college.
