Seller Insight

Positioned in the sought-after village of Kings Sutton—with excellent rail links and easy access to Oxford, Birmingham, and London—this beautifully presented family home offers a rare blend of modern convenience, generous space, and authentic village living. Loved and carefully maintained by its current owners for over a decade, it’s a home where memories are made and every detail has been thoughtfully considered.

Set behind a deep hedge and approached via a generous private drive, the house offers both privacy and practicality, with ample space for parking and effortless access to local amenities. The moment you step inside, you’re struck by the generous proportions and the seamless layout. A standout feature is the open-plan kitchen-diner, extended in 2019 to create a truly sociable hub of the home— complete with sleek, modern finishes, dazzling countertops, and feature lighting. With direct access to the garden and plenty of natural light, it’s ideal for everyday family life as well as entertaining.

Elsewhere, the property offers a flexible arrangement of rooms. There’s a comfortable living room for quiet evenings, a versatile dining or playroom, and spacious bedrooms upstairs including one that works perfectly as a nursery or home office. The interiors have been recently upgraded, including new bathrooms, updated windows, and a stylish cloakroom, ensuring a turnkey move-in for the next owners.

Step outside and you’ll discover a garden designed for enjoyment year-round. The recently added patio and pergola create the perfect backdrop for alfresco dining, summer celebrations, or simply enjoying a morning coffee. The garden backs onto a green expanse of trees and parkland, offering a sense of seclusion and a calming natural outlook.

What truly elevates this home, however, is its place within a vibrant and welcoming community. Kings Sutton is known for its active village life, with events throughout the year—from festive gatherings and school fundraisers to walking groups, book clubs, and pop-up village hall events. Two pubs, a popular local Co-op, post office, tennis courts, and even an eco-friendly hairdresser mean everything you need is right on your doorstep.

The owners speak fondly of their time here: hosting children’s birthday parties with bouncy castles in the garden, celebrating Christmases with extended family, and the simple joy of returning to a peaceful, friendly place at the end of each day. It’s not just the house they’ll miss, but the sense of safety and belonging they’ve found in the village. Most of all, they’ll miss the garden—its mature trees, its open sky, and the quiet moments it offered after a busy day.

YOU CAN FOLLOW CHRIS ON

“Outstanding. Chris could not have made the experience of buying a house any better.

The communication throughout the whole process was incredible. Chris offered advice when ever it was needed, made himself available at all times of the day (often very late at night - sorry Chris!) and followed up on questions with lightening speed. We were nervous buyers due to our circumstances of returning to the UK recently and needing a home quickly. Chris kept us informed and even reached out simply to let us know if there wasn’t an update. This made a huge difference and kept us confident and reassured.

Chris’ genuine care made us feel part of the local community before we even arrived. And our children look forward to seeing him like a family friend. We sincerely feel very very fortunate that Chris happened to be the agent for our house purchase. Thank you Chris!”

“Chris Mobbs is an exceptional agent we would recommend to anyone. He was so helpful from the very first interaction, listened to us and helped the process go through as smooth as possible. Chris made a normally stressful process fun, due to him working so hard and having the answers before we had to ask. Cant recommend him highly enough.”
