Situation

Chipping Norton, "gateway to the Cotswolds" lies

approximately 21 miles to the north west of Oxford. It is a

charming bustling market town with a number of cafés, bars,

restaurants, "foodie" pubs. There is comprehensive shopping,

schooling for all ages, a Victorian theatre, leisure centre,

sports and social clubs.

The Property

West Lodge forms part of Bliss Mill which is a former

Victorian tweed mill which converted into a number of

apartments and a few cottages tucked away at the rear. It is a

magnificent Grade II Listed Cotswold stone property with its

distinctive 165' chimney and many original features which

have been retained in the main building. It is set in a secure

well managed environment standing in delightful grounds

extending to approximately 6.5 acres adjoining miles of open

countryside and is in AN AREA OF OUTSTANDING

NATURAL BEAUTY. The property itself which is not listed

is a mews style house which has been completely refurbished

and includes spacious accommodation on three floors

complemented by modern luxury fittings. Unlike any other

property in this development there is direct access from the

kitchen/dining room to a private walled courtyard garden with

stunning views of the clock tower and chimney whilst from

the sitting room there is direct access to a larger water side

terrace and garden with outlooks over the adjoining weir and

mini lake. Whilst it would be a wonderful place to live on a

full time basis it also represents an ideally "lock up and leave"

opportunity for those with properties elsewhere. In addition to

the lovely gardens, weir and mini lake there are first class

communal facilities including a private leisure complex. There

is a swimming pool, recently updated gym, squash and tennis

courts and allocated parking in the old weaving shed and

additional external communal parking for residents and

visitors alike.
