Holloway Lane, Minster Lovell, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29

A greatly improved detached bungalow with open outlook positioned at the edge of a thriving community.

THE PROPERTY:

This delightful three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy village life in a home that perfectly balances historical charm with modern comfort. Designed to echo the distinctive 'Charterville' bungalows that characterise this special village, the property reflects the progressive 19th-century movement that created these settlements with generous plots to support family life.

The present owner has made thoughtful improvements that transform the way you live and entertain. The ingenious pocket doors these can either separate the spaces for quiet moments or vanish unobtrusively into the walls to create a spectacular open-plan entertaining area. The stylish dining kitchen, complete with central island and quality integrated appliances, flows seamlessly through bifold doors to your private terrace and garden - perfect for family barbecues and al fresco dining.

Practical family living is enhanced by a convenient combined cloak and shower room off the entrance hall.

The clever Jack and Jill shower room serves both as a family bathroom and private ensuite for one of the three comfortable bedrooms, making morning routines effortless. The third bedroom has fitted wardrobes replete with a 'Hollywood' style illuminated mirror over a dressing table area.
Your substantial single garage has been thoughtfully upgraded with a secure metal pedestrian door, lighting, and power - perfect for workshop space, storage, or keeping classic vehicles and bicycles safe and dry.
You'll love the peaceful open outlook across green from your front windows, whilst the rear garden's sunny south-easterly aspect creates a perfect haven for relaxation and family activities.

There is air-conditioning in the main bedroom for warm summer nights and the combination of high-performance glazing, excellent insulation, and efficient gas central heating achieves an impressive EPC rating of B. This ensures your family stays comfortable year-round whilst keeping energy bills refreshingly low.

Annual service charge of £276 for the maintenance of communal grounds.

SITUATION:

Minster Lovell is a village and civil parish situated on the River Windrush in Oxfordshire, approximately 2 ½ miles west of Witney. Reputedly the region’s most haunted village, Minster Lovell is perhaps best known for the ruins of its 15th century hall and is divided into three distinct parts: Old Minster, Little Minster and New Minster.
Old Minster includes the parish church, the Old Swan Inn public house and Minster Mill Hotel and picturesque ruins of Minster Lovell Hall. Built in the 1430s and after several changes of hands the Hall was abandoned and partially demolished in the 18th century, leaving the extensive remains that stand today in a beautiful rural setting beside the River Windrush.

New Minster benefits from the White Hart public house and a small selection of local shops including Post Office and Convenience Store. The Church of England primary school was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in November 2023.

Further amenities including an extensive selection of high street shops, cinema, cosmopolitan restaurants and tertiary education are available in nearby Witney.

A mainline rail service to Oxford and London Paddington is available from Long Hanborough about 9 miles away with journey times of 9 and 70 minutes respectively. An alternative service to Marylebone (journey time 58 minutes) is available from Oxford Parkway c.15 miles.

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 £75 (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.
