" THE PROPERTY A light and well-appointed home offering generously proportioned accommodation on the ground floor of a purpose built block for those who enjoy an active retirement but appreciate the reassurance of a 24 hour security system and a dedicated House Manager. The overall sense of space and light is enhanced by a double aspect living room with French windows that give direct access to the carefully tended communal garden. The neat modern kitchen has an integrated hob and oven as well as separate ‘fridge and freezer. The slim line dishwasher will also be included in the sale. The bathroom has quality white sanitary ware with a shower over the bath and ceramic tiled surrounds. .

In addition to being fully double glazed, there is modern electric heating, extensive built in storage and quality floor coverings throughout making this a most comfortable home. Residents also have access to a guest suite (to avoid the need for a second bedroom that stands empty most of the time), onsite parking (with thoughtful touches like buggy recharging points), security entry system, intruder alarm, and laundry room. The residents‘ function room provides a focal point to a thriving and friendly social community with well attended activities. There is also a lift service to all floors. Residents need to be 60+ or if a couple, one resident needs to be at least 60 and the other 55+ years old. 

SITUATION Otters Court is an a well thought of residential area just north of the town centre. It is well placed for the A40 (access to Oxford & Cheltenham) as well as local amenities that include shops and playing fields. Witney itself is a thriving market town on the edge of the Cotswolds about 10 miles to the West of the dreaming spires of Oxford. Its location on the banks of the River Windrush led to the manufacture of high quality blankets known the world over until the last mill was closed in 2002. Some manufacturing remains and the town is home to Christy & Co - hat makers since 1773 to people as diverse as the Royal family to Don Corleone in the Godfather films! Much of the town‘s fine architecture reflects the wealth of the woollen trade in its heyday. The rich variety of shops, street cafes, and excellent sporting facilities coupled with higher order services that include a hospital greatly add to the quality of life. Little wonder then that the town was selected by The Sunday Times newspaper (March 2014) as one of the best places to live in Britain!
The recently refurbished Abingdon and Witney College offers a range of tertiary courses for adults.
