Ref: 1484269. Welcome to 37 Moorland Close, Witney. A house with so many redeeming features I honestly don't know where to start!

A few facts: it's a four bedroom, three bathroom detached house with a garage and two gardens (yes, really). It's one of five built in a small close about 26 years ago.

Estate agents often describe a property as 'light, bright & spacious'. Well, this one really is SO light in just about every room especially the sitting room where its elevated position and cleverly designed windows - have a look at the photos - really do bring in so much light! I guess, the white painted wooden floors in this room help as well. So yes, it's very light and bright and if you're an artist, a creative, a hobbyist like the seller or have lived in a mid terraced house for too long, this house is going to appeal.

And spacious? With a floor area of 1786 sqft, that's at least a good size and I haven't included the little office/hobbies room over the garage in that measurement!

There's also a quirkiness to the design of this house (built, apparently, for the developer and his family) in the best sense of the word. It's an 'upside down' house - a term I use when describing a house with the sitting room upstairs. If you look at the floorplan, you might notice two front doors. One was designed to be a large porch leading into the hallway - itself a good size - and the other leading straight through to the kitchen. It works.... in this case the porch is large enough to double up as a boot room! I've included the photo to illustrate. Talking of room sizes, the en-suite to the main bedroom is massive - I don't think that is a misdescription - and usefully, the utility room is 'a good size', subjective, I know.

Obviously, looking at the floorplan will help you understand the layout of this quite extraordinary house but I'm going to say that to really get the feel of it, you need to come and see it. Some agents might describe the accommodation as 'versatile'... I just really like it!

And now to the outside. I mentioned two gardens. I really mean a front and a back garden. HOWEVER.... because of the positioning and the elevation of this particular plot relative to the others, both front and back gardens are particularly private resulting in so many lovely sunny and shady sitting out areas, I couldn't decide which garden photos to include so I just uploaded them all! I won't describe them - that's what photos are for! Although, the stone walls are worth a mention. I love the summer house. As it has power and light, I would sit there on a rainy day and read books. But that's me.

I didn't have a look in the garage but at 17'8 X 15'1, it's big enough for a large car and a bit of storage as well.

So, in summary, what I particularly like about this house:

the layout - it's slightly unusual, it may not be for everyone but it is for me
the sitting room - big, light and bright and I particularly like the diagonal white painted wooden floorboards
the large principal bedroom and equally large bath and shower room en-suite
the private location within the five house development
the very cute office/hobbies room located away from the house over the garage
the good size boot room (ok, porch) and the good size utility room, so very practical!
the two front and rear private gardens and the mulitple sitting out areas!
and of course, not forgetting the Summer house!

The location: Witney is well described as a commuter town to Oxford offering very good value for money in terms of £/sqft compared to Oxford. With a population of circa 26,000, it has a lot to offer in terms of amenities; shopping centre, schools, parks and specifically Marks & Spencers AND a Waitrose - important.
