Long Wittenham, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14

Description
Situated in the highly regarded village of Long Wittenham, this attractive, detached period property is believed to have originally been a hall house dating from the 1600’s with many original beams and the central chimney still in existence. The house has evolved over the centuries and now provides a lovely family home with the last known extension believed to be pre-Victorian. The house is complemented by a mature garden, a detached workshop providing the flexibility for a number of uses, and a driveway providing parking.

Internally, the entrance to the house is via a hallway with two reception rooms off, one of which is a particularly attractive room with exposed beams and the lovely feature of an inglenook fireplace. Connecting from the sitting room and accessed from the rear hall, is a third reception room currently used as the dining room with doors opening to the garden. Forming the hub of the house, the welcoming kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted units with integrated appliances and an Esse range cooker providing a cosy atmosphere during the winter months. The kitchen also has the benefit of a spacious scullery along with a larder. The remainder of the ground floor comprises a study leading off the kitchen and a cloakroom and laundry room with shower arranged off the rear entrance hall.

At first floor level are four bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate shower room. In addition, a study/fifth attic bedroom is situated on the second floor.

Outside
To the front of the house a gate opens to the pretty front garden from where a further gate opens to the remainder and main part of the garden, which is principally laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees. To the rear, leading off the main entrance, which also belongs to the house, a driveway provides parking situated alongside the detached workshop.
