Property description
Set in the beautiful Cotswold village of Shipton under Wychwood is this three bedroom detached family home with garage and driveway, offered to the market free from any onward chain.
The property is situated in a cul-de-sac location in the heart of the village, set back from the road with driveway parking and front garden, and with an attractive garden at the rear backing onto an orchard and paddock that contain natural springs and an ancient Cotswold Stone wall, as well as a variety of trees.
The property itself has an Entrance Hallway with Ground Floor WC and stairs to the first floor, and there is Living Room/Diner, Fitted Kitchen and a separate Utility Room. Upstairs, there are three good sized Bedrooms and a Family Bathroom. The property also has an attached garage to one side which in fact has a loft space above, within which there is good head height, as well as light and power points.
Shipton under Wychwood is an attractive Cotswolds village in the Evenlode Valley, with three historic public houses, including the Shaven Crown Hotel, which overlooks the village green, the 15th century Wychwood Inn (formerly the Red Horse), and also the 16th century Lamb Inn which is just a short stroll from this property. There is a local village shop, post office and doctors surgery in the village, and in neighbouring Milton-under-Wychwood there is a dentist, as well as a Co-op. There are also two local petrol stations, as well as a local car repair and MOT centre. The train station in Shipton is on the Cotswold Line, and the village is on the Oxfordshire Way footpath - of course, being set in the Cotswolds there are any number of pleasant country walks right on your doorstep. The village is also well served for schooling, with local pre-schools at nearby Ascott- and Milton-under-Wychwood, as well as a private nursery school in the village itself; there is a well thought of primary school in the village (see http://wychwood-pri.oxon.sch.uk) as well as being just a few miles from the Burford School and Community College for secondary education. There are of course a number of independent schools in the area, as well as the Ofsted-Ranked 'Outstanding' (March 2015) 'The Cotswold School' at Bourton on the Water, which is an Academy School.
The village is very sociable; as mentioned there are three village pubs, but also a number of clubs and societies, including Cricket, Football, Tennis, Bowls, the nearby Chipping Norton Rugby Club, Wychwood Players, Wychwood Singers... seemingly, something for everyone either in the village itself or close by!
Shipton under Wychwood is around 4 miles from nearby Burford, 8 miles from Witney, and around 20 miles from the centre of Oxford.
