Property description
Providence Cottage is a beautifully presented and characterful detached Victorian home offering the potential for annex or even for a supplementary rental income, or opportunity to run a business from home. The property is set on a good sized plot in the quiet Oxfordshire village of North Leigh, close to Witney and also just a couple of miles from the London Mainline railway station at the nearby village of Long Hanborough.
There is an entrance porch that leads through to an internal hallway area, so plenty of space to kick off boots and hang up your coats. The main Living Room/Dining Room is an L-Shape, with the lounge area focussed around a wood burning stove. A flight of paddle-stairs leads up to the Master Bedroom, or this could make a fantastic room for a teenager or Guest Bedroom, being that it offers an en-suite Shower Room as well as built in storage.
The Kitchen is fitted with a range of units and includes double oven and grill, hob and space for dish washer. There is an adjoining Breakfast Room.
The main Family Bathroom has been beautifully finished with travertine stone tiles on walls and floor, and boasts a smart and classy bathroom suite including a walk-in wet-room style shower with glass screen as well as a claw-foot roll-top bath, basin and wc. There is also another Shower Room on the ground floor, which could provide a bathroom for a self-contained flat/annex or B&B accommodation at one end of the house, offering an opportunity for a supplementary rental income, or even somewhere to run a potential business from home (there is large bedroom, shower room and kitchenette together at the south end of the property – please see Floor Plan).
There are four more good sized Bedrooms, or perhaps rooms to be used as Study, Sitting Room or Play Room, being three on the ground floor and one the first floor, as well as a Landing Room which could provide further accommodation.
Outside the property there is a good sized garden with lawn, a range of mature beds and trees, as well as Summerhouse and Garage. There was previously permission granted to convert the Garage into a building providing annex-style accommodation, however this has now lapsed. There is also a bit of outside space adjacent to the annex/flat.
North Leigh is situated just a few 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. In North Leigh itself there are two local pubs, post office/convenience store and primary school, and at nearby Long Hanborough a London mainline railway station, as well as a pub and petrol station with convenience store. 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.
