THE PROPERTY
Charlbury is one of the most sought-after locations in the Cotswolds and this unusual and distinctive property stands on an elevated position above the Woodstock road, on the outskirts of the town. Designed to take advantage of the southerly aspect of the site, the house has large floor to ceiling windows downstairs which open on to a pleasant terrace, while above, each of the three main bedrooms opens on to a magnificent balcony that runs the entire width of the property and offers views over the garden below.
The house is set within a generous plot of approximately 0.3 acres, with ample parking and the potential to extend considerably to the rear, creating, if required, further living accommodation, or space for a home business. Thus it represents a superb opportunity to create a wonderful and stylish new home with the flexibility for a wide range of uses.
Available with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

On the Ground Floor
Entry to the property is via a generously proportioned storm porch, ideal for storing outdoor clothing, buggies, etc., and which then opens into the impressive double height hallway with feature open staircase. To the left are doors leading to the modern and well-equipped Kitchen which connects with the separate Dining room. From there, another door leads to the Sitting room, which benefits from two sets of patio doors which open on to the terrace. Benefitting from a southerly aspect this lovely room is the perfect space both to relax, or entertain.

Returning to the hallway, there is a large cloakroom incorporating shower/wet room. At the opposite end of the hall a door leads through to the Study/Bedroom 4 and also the Utility/Laundry room. Adjacent to the utility room is a further lobby or porch that gives access to the car port, and then the workshop directly opposite.
This sizeable area offers tremendous potential to extend the existing accommodation on either one or two levels, or to create a new and generously-proportioned space for a home-based business, either separate from or integral with, the house itself.

On the First Floor
The stairs lead up to a wide, galleried first-floor landing again with high ceilings that further contribute to the remarkable sense of space and light. There are generously-proportioned double bedrooms each with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that open on to the south-facing balcony which extends across the entire width of the house, with views over the front garden. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

OUTSIDE
The property stands in an elevated position on a gently sloping plot of just under 1/3 acre. It is approached by a gravelled driveway that leads to a parking area in front of the house and a car port that extends over a further parking space between the house and the workshop. There is significant potential to remodel this part of the property, extending to the rear of the house and by integrating the car port and workshop create, if required, further living accommodation, or space for a home business.

To the front of the property is a terrace which extends the full width of the house, screened by a decorative wall and shaded by the balcony above. Two sets of patio doors give access to the sitting room and dining room respectively, so creating that sought-after indoor/outdoor space which is ideal for entertaining.

The upper garden level is laid mainly to lawn, and surrounds the house on three sides, with steps leading down to the lower garden, currently gravelled with decorative inset lawns. This area could be converted to provide additional parking space. There is a sizeable garden store, and also a greenhouse.
