A spacious three bedroom end terrace cottage with enclosed garden and single garage, set in the heart of a charming Cotswolds market town.

To the rear is a private garden area accessed via the side of the property or from doors to the rear. The is also a further area of communal garden to the rear.
The property is located on a purpose-built retirement development for the over 55s. Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing. The Playing Close has always been thought of as the town green, and the estate was built on the site of the former school. The two and three-bedroom cottages and apartments, each with a private garage, are built in Cotswold stone around a garden with a swimming pavilion for year-long relaxation and exercise. The main garden can be enjoyed from the privacy of conservatories and terraces and the original headmaster’s garden is now an attractive sunken garden with sensory planting. Charlbury is a popular town with more than a spark of character. The Cornbury music festival takes place nearby, there is an annual beer festival and street fair within Charlbury itself and there are cricket and Morris dancing teams as well as many other clubs and societies. There is a rail service that goes to Worcester up-line or to Oxford and London, notable for the original 1853 station building, which is a wooden chalet-type structure in the Italianate architectural style of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The local area is almost surreal in its beauty, with the Evenlode Valley, the ancient Wychwood Forest and Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the doorstep. The delightful university city of Oxford is also only 16 miles away. Cognatum Estates maintains repairs and insures all the buildings, arranges the window cleaning and refuse collection and tends to the gardens and grounds thereby freeing owners and residents from these responsibilities.
