Property description
SUMMARYAn extremely well presented Detached Cotswold Stone Residence in the Picturesque Village of
Ducklington, offering Deceptively Large Family Accommodation over Three Floors with an impressive Master Suite and a "Teenagers Dream" on the top floor.
DESCRIPTIONThis impressive Family Home is situated on the
Witney Road in
Ducklington Village and has unobstructed views overlooking
Pastureland and
Witney Lake to the rear. The Lake itself provides some lovely walks, and is also a picturesque short cut to the Market Town of
Witney.
Built approximately eleven years ago, the current owners have transformed the rear of the property by adding a Large Conservatory, and what is now an established Low Maintenance "Mediterranean Garden", with Decked Area complete with a Five Seat Hot Tub, Garden Lighting and Power.
From the Large Gravelled Driveway (which has space for up to six cars) the property is accessed through the inset Front Door into what is being used by the current owners as a Formal Dining Area, but would also make an ideal Study. From the Inner Hall is a Large Kitchen with a range of Fitted Cream high gloss units, integrated Fridge Freezer and Dishwasher, Five Ring Gas Hob, Extractor, Electric Oven, and combined Microwave Oven. The Kitchen also has Ceramic Tiling and internal Door leading to a separate Dining Room with Patio Doors out the Black Slate Courtyard Area. Also off the Hallway is a Utility Room with side passage access, Downstairs
WC, and Under Stairs Storage Cupboard. The Spacious Family Lounge has Two Double Patio Doors, both leading to the Conservatory, again with access to the Rear Garden.
The First Floor provides a Storage Cupboard and Airing Cupboard on the Landing, Two Good Sized Double Bedrooms (one with Single Fitted Wardrobe) and Family Bathroom with White Suite, Heated Towel Rail, and Hand Shower plus Shower Screen. Also on the First Floor is the Master Suite with Shower Room, Dressing Area, Full Width Wardrobes to the rear Wall, and Splendid views to the Lake and
Pastureland.
The Second Floor could be described as a "Teenagers Dream" providing a virtually self contained suite. Lounge Area with eaves storage drawers, Shower Room with fitted cupboard and Double Bedroom with ample eaves storage drawers and cupboards.
Overall, this is a very impressive Family Home that has been finished to a very high standard.
DUCKLINGTON VILLAGESome local people think the village's name originates from the duck pond but actually it probably originates from "Ducel's Farm" or "the farm of the sons of Docca".
The River Windrush passes very close to the eastern side of the village, and to the north-east lies Ducklington Lake (more properly known as Witney Lake). Ducklington Lake is a flooded gravel pit which resulted from the construction of the Witney bypass. The area around the lake is managed as a country park, the southern end also being a nature reserve.
The Windrush valley used to be a habitat ideally suited to the fritillary flower, but the meadows have for some time been intensively ploughed leading to the loss of this rare flower. Fortunately on the edge of Ducklington village a field has been left unploughed and as a consequence fritillary flowers have survived here with the help and cooperation of farmers and the local community. Once a year, the local community celebrates Fritillary Sunday when the field, church and hall are opened so that the public may walk amongst and enjoy the flowers.
