Carterton, OX18 3LQ

THE PROPERTY: A confident expression of mid-century design, this house has been brought carefully up to date whilst preserving the generous proportions and solid construction that define the best of its era. From the elegant entrance hall there is a downstairs cloakroom -a feature rarely found in properties of this type and period. The double aspect living room is well-proportioned and filled with natural light with a conservatory providing additional entertaining space and linking the house to the rear garden. To the front of the house, overlooking a large front garden the dining kitchen has been refitted to a notably high standard and finish, with quality worksurfaces, integrated appliances. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are genuine doubles. The third, free from any staircase bulkhead, makes full and practical use of its entire floor area — that will be a boon to buyers tired of children arguing about the unfairness of one having a room much larger than the other! The family shower room has been refurbished with equal care, and features a remote wall-mounted shower control that reflects the considered approach taken throughout. Solid internal walls, a hallmark of quality construction, lend the house an uncommon degree of acoustic privacy — a quiet that one notices immediately and appreciates over time. To the rear, the conservatory connects the house to a well-enclosed garden enjoys the best of the afternoon and evening sun that comes the western boundary. The patio has been positioned to take full advantage of this aspect, and a substantial rear wall gives the garden a sense of enclosure and privacy. To the front, there is a larger garden that is equally well-kept. Behind the house is a garage and driveway parking. West Oxfordshire District Council (Tax Band C)
