Property description
Lavender Cottage is a beautifully presented and characterful detached Victorian home replete with period features. It is set on a good sized plot in the quiet Oxfordshire village of New Yatt, close to Witney and also just three miles from the London Mainline railway station at the nearby village of Long Hanborough.
The feeling that you have found something special in Lavender Cottage is quite immediate, as you push open the front gate flanked by the lavender bushes that the property is named for, head through the church-style Entrance Porch and find yourself in a large Reception Room boasting exposed timber studwork and solid wood floor. There is a fireplace at both ends of the room, one of which features a gas flame cast-iron effect stove. The smart, spacious Kitchen/Breakfast Room has a quarry-tile floor, stylish fitted kitchen units, electric ceramic hob with extractor hood above and two electric ovens. There is a separate Utility Room that in turn leads through to a ground floor WC. The large, bright Living Room is located at the rear of the property. There are doors from both the Living Room and the Kitchen onto a patio area. There is also a Study on the ground floor within a later side extension with vaulted ceiling, which is a good size and could equally be utilised as a ground floor Bedroom or Playroom.
The stairs lead to the first floor where there is a large landing area that could be utilised for further accommodation if desired, perhaps a bureau or reading room. There are three Double Bedrooms, including a particularly good sized Master Bedroom which benefits from an en-suite Shower-room. There is also a large Family Bathroom that includes a roll-top bath tub and a separate shower cubicle.
Outside the property there is parking to the front as well as a pull in drive-way behind automatic electric gates to the side. The gardens are enclosed by fencing and are attractive and well stocked, with a total of three different patios, a decked area, plenty of lawn, various planted beds and borders as well as several trees, and there is also a timber Summer House with electricity supply, and two sheds.
New Yatt is located just a couple of miles outside the historic Market Town of Witney, offering a wide range of shops and services, as well as larger supermarkets, and a number of both state and independent schools. Long Hanborough, as mentioned, has a London mainline railway station, as well as a pub and petrol station with convenience store, and there is also a local pub, post office/convenience store and primary school at nearby North Leigh. The surrounding local countryside offers good walking country, and in fact the village is also just a few miles from the edge of the Cotswolds.
