3 20 Churchill Close, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, OX201LG Guide price 375,000 Few properties in Woodstock offer this mix of affordability, condition, space and convenience. A great family home. Woodstock is a thriving town just to the north of Oxford which grew up as a coach stop on the road north, then around the Royal Hunting Lodge which became the site of the magnificent Blenheim Palace, home of the Dukes of Marlborough since the early 1700s. The town is now a World Heritage site, and attracts visitors from all over the globe. Central Woodstock offers an amazing diversity of cosmopolitan amenities with high quality restaurants, pubs, boutiques and antique shops all available. There is a Woodstock Under Fives Association (WUFA), which provides a lovely playgroup for children aged 2 to 5, schooling from 5 to 18 and a regular bus service to Oxford Parkway station (from which there are trains to London Marylebone, taking approximately 1 hour), Oxford and local market towns of Chipping Norton and Witney. Churchill Close is a small cul-de-sac containing mostly three and four bed post-war houses. They're roomy, well lit, quiet and have pretty good garden space in a town where such a thing is at a premium. Number 20 has been very well kept by successive owners, resulting in a house that today really shines. Nothing needs doing, it's all very pleasant and very comfy, with modern fixtures that include lighting that has reduced winter electricity bills by a staggering amount. Considering the "Woodstock premium" ensures absolutely nothing here is cheap, this is quite possibly the best value for money family house in the town.

4 20 Churchill Close, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, OX201LG Guide price 375,000 The front door opens into a bright entrance hall with a wood floor that continues throughout the downstairs rooms bar the conservatory. Unusually, here a vast cupboard has been fitted to the left side that provides clever storage, being split into coat and boot storage in one half and a pantry the other. This leaves room for a telephone/ key table just inside the door. Stairs rise away from you, and underneath is a deep cupboard. On the right is the living room. A really pretty space, the central focus is an open fireplace and flanking it to either side the alcoves are fitted with shelving and cupboards in a traditional style. In addition the box bay window to the front is a charming feature. Behind the stairs the kitchen is impressive. Fitted with a wide range of units it is modern and attractive. With a modern cooker and double width gas hob this is a very practical room. There is ample space for a washing machine and dishwasher, with plenty of storage to spare and lengthy work tops, and the sink placed in front of the window allows a view over the garden. To the other end the room naturally provides an ideal dining space, this is plenty for a family table and chairs with room to spare. Adjacent to it the conservatory provides an extra dimension, suitable as a further living space if desired, and as it is next to the garden it is equipped with a practical tiled floor. Upstairs is just as inviting. The main bedroom is a great size; with built-in wardrobes on two walls it provides excellent overall floor space. The stripped floor is also a particularly attractive feature. Two further bedrooms on this floor are both surprisingly good sizes, bedroom two including a wardrobe and the smallest certainly able to take a double bed if required with room to spare. Serving all of them, the bathroom is very neutral, equipped with a white suite and this also includes a thermostatic shower over the bath. In typical 1950's style, the wc is a separate room, in some respects this is more ideal for a family than an integrated bathroom! Completing this floor is the airing cupboard which also contains the heating boiler. On the top floor the largest room is a vaulted-ceiling, expansive space that is currently used as a music room, study, occasional bed etc. Velux windows to two sides make sure it is always light, and a large wardrobe provides all the storage needed. If it were ours this would probably be the master bedroom, it's extremely pleasant, and in addition it's worth noting the adjacent space is large enough to create an ensuite with very little effort (and it already contains a water supply). Outside, to the front the garden is partly enclosed by a picket fence and gate, with a pretty brick planter to either side of the door and few shrubs. Mainly gravel for low maintenance, there is also a path to the door and just to the left a shared access leads to the rear garden. Here there is a door into the brick shed, and a gate to the right enters the garden itself. To the left the concrete floor, next door to which is a second brick shed, leads over to the conservatory and behind this a decked area provides a seating area that then steps down onto a paved terrace. Beyond that the lawn is ample for Summer days, trampolines and children, and the whole is securely and safely enclosed by fences.
