## Description

A well-balanced three-bedroom home close to Chipping Norton town centre, featuring flexible living space, a generous garden, off-street parking, and a versatile workshop/study area ideal for home working or creative use.

**The Property** - A well-proportioned three-bedroom semi-detached home with a versatile workshop/study area, set within easy reach of Chipping Norton town centre and offering flexible living spaces, a beautiful rear garden, and off-street parking.

At the front of the property, a lawned garden and driveway lead to a covered porch, opening into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs to the first floor. To the right, the living room enjoys a large window to the front and a log-burning stove, creating a warm and comfortable setting.

Adjoining the living room is a flexible reception room—ideal as a dining area, study, or playroom—which in turn leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room at the rear. This bright and practical space is fitted with a Bosch double oven and induction hob, with space for a dishwasher, and opens onto the garden via patio doors for easy indoor/outdoor living. As the kitchen wraps around, it offers further worktop space, additional cupboards, and room for a fridge/freezer.

Beyond the kitchen is a side hallway with a WC/shower room, and a utility area with space for a washing machine. This in turn leads to a spacious workshop/study area, which includes a sink and external access to the garden—well suited to a range of uses. It is insulated, benefits from power and natural light, and provides an ideal space for home working, creative projects, or hobbies that benefit from a degree of separation and flexibility.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and a single bedroom, all enjoying elevated views. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, with a shower over the bath.

Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight—well established and private, with a mix of patio, lawn, planted borders, a pond, and a garden shed. To the front, there is parking for two vehicles and a lawned garden featuring a striking red sumac tree, offering colour and privacy throughout the seasons.

Chipping Norton’s wide range of amenities, including shops, cafés, schools, and transport links, are just a short walk away, making this a conveniently located and well-balanced home in a popular part of town.

**Situation** - The bustling historic wool town of Chipping Norton is situated on the edge of the Cotswold Hills between the University City of Oxford, Spa town of Cheltenham & Shakespeare's Stratford upon Avon. It has a range of shopping, social and business facilities including an excellent local theatre, sports centre with indoor pool, lido and a Community Hospital + Health Centre. A Station on the Paddington to Worcester rail line can be found at nearby Kingham in addition to a regular bus service from Chipping Norton to Oxford. Local leisure options include a sports club, tennis courts, and attractions like Soho Farmhouse and Daylesford Organic Farm within easy reach.
