4 FARMERS DRIVE

A stunning family home which has been extended to create flexible accommodation throughout, and comprises entrance hall, cloakroom/WC, dining kitchen, utility room, two receptions, four bedrooms, two en-suites and family bathroom.

Also benefiting from a garage which has been converted into a one bedroom annexe with a wet room and own front door, gardens to the front and rear, along with off-road parking for around five cars, an internal viewed is recommended.

Accommodation summary

A stunning family home which has been greatly extended by the current owners, which is presented to the highest of standards and has an excellent potential to create an annexe.

Upon entering, the hall has a tiled floor with underfloor heating, stairs rising to the first floor and a door to the cloakroom/WC which also has underfloor heating.

The spacious dining kitchen has ample work surfaces, integrated fridge, dishwasher, double oven, six ring gas hob, space for a table to seat eight guests, velux windows and a window to the rear.

From the dining kitchen, access is provided to the utility room which has space for appliances, a velux window, and a door which leads to the garage.

The sitting room has a gas fire in feature surround and a large window to the front. There is an additional reception which is used as a second sitting room, yet would make an excellent dining room and has a door to the rear.

To the first floor, the feature bedroom has been extended to a very good size. There are two windows to the rear and a door which leads to the en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating.

The guest bedroom has built in wardrobes, windows to the front and side and a door to the en-suite shower room.

There are two further bedrooms, one to the front and one to the rear, whilst completing the first floor accommodation is the family bathroom.

The garage has been converted to provide flexible accommodation with underfloor heating and would work well as an annexe.

A bedroom has been created, along with a sitting area and a wet room with underfloor heating, all accessed by its own front door so this would make either an ideal teenage suite or could offer an elderly relative an opportunity to live close to family whilst maintaining their own independence.

Seller Insight

Ten years ago, the present owners Tony and Liz were searching for a larger property to meet the demands of their growing family. They were thrilled to discover 4 Farmers Drive, with its attractive kerb side appeal but more importantly the potential for expansion.

Tony explains that working to the highest specifications they began the conversion. Four ensuites have ended early morning bathroom queues, whilst the garage conversion with wet room and lounge/ bedroom made the perfect space for a teenager or overnight guests. The kitchen is now a sociable family hub, and a two storey extension to the side of the house added even more room. The house is now a fantastic, spacious home that combines style with great comfort,

Liz says the kitchen is the daily hub of the home, where they enjoy chatty meals round the kitchen table, and views to the garden create a charming backdrop. She adds that the windows are a great feature, as they flood the rooms with natural light giving a positive ambience throughout the house, which is also a great entertaining venue. Liz recalls that during Covid there were seven people living in the house. and the rooms were large enough to easily accommodate them all but most importantly, during that time, there was space for everyone to find a quiet spot if needed. The spacious master bedroom suite has always been a great adult sanctuary.

The quiet, private and fully enclosed garden is a delightful mix of lawn and shrubbery and with three patio areas it is always possible to find a sunny spot, to sit and enjoy the calm that surrounds you. Tony particularly loves the front garden and says it is quite hidden from the street, and is virtually a secret garden.

Brackley has been a good place to live with something for all the family. It is only a fifteen minute walk into town for the weekly market and a good range of shops and restaurants. There are excellent state schools and Stowe School is close by. Silverstone circuit is a twenty minute drive and Milton Keynes, Banbury and Bicester are nearby.

Tony and Liz are very sad to leave, and Tony says they have come full circle. They need to downsize as children have left home and there is sadly no longer any need for so many rooms anymore. They take away many happy memories of the house and Brackley.*

There is a partitioned store area big enough for a motorbike at the front of the garage.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and has a sun terrace and side gated access. The property comes with the rare benefit of a good sized, private front garden and there is off-road parking for around five cars. A lovely family home which must be viewed.
