I am pleased to present this wonderful detached family home situated in the Cotswold village of Ascott under Wychwood one of my favourites. This lovely well balanced and welcoming home sits comfortably within its plot and I understand was built in circa 1973 and therefore comes to the market for the first time in 50 years, so a rare opportunity indeed.

There is a fitted kitchen with a pantry cupboard fitted double oven and hob and is open plan to the dining room with views to the rear. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms which includes a dual aspect principle bedroom that stretches from front to rear. There is also a family bathroom. Outside, the front garden is has an open gateway with appealing dry stone boundary walls and a generous gravelled area provides ample off road parking, there is also a well tended lawn area and pedestrian access to one other side the property and a driveway to the side that leads to the detached garage with pitched roof. There is a substantial block paved patio area which enjoys a small timber summer house which has power and light. The main lawn is well maintained and again enjoys splendid dry stone walled boundaries to all sides and a rural view towards paddocks, the railway, river and the Cotswolds countryside beyond. Viewing recommended and strictly by appointment.

The village of Ascott under Wychwood nestles in the Evenlode valley and is indeed an ancient Cotswolds village first recorded in the Doomsday book in 1086 when most of the area was covered in forest and used as royal hunting grounds. There is a vibrant community in the village highlighted by their determination to manage the very friendly village store and the host of activities that ‘Tiddy Hall’ (village hall) has to offer, there is also a village pub and restaurant, private school and train station. The imposing village Church sits in the centre of the village tucked behind the attractive village green.
