Accommodation summary

A stunning and deceptively spacious residence in a sought after village setting which comes with the added benefit of a detached Annexe.

The Main House:

Upon entering, the hallway has oak flooring, an oak staircase which rises to the first floor, access to a boot room and the cloakroom/WC.

Without doubt, the main selling feature of the property is the outstanding kitchen/ family room.

There are ample work surfaces and a range of built in appliances to include a five ring induction hob, two ovens, microwave, plate warmer and dishwasher, in addition to two bin stores and two walk in pantry cupboards.

There is underfloor heating, a central island, plenty of space for a dining table and sofas, making this the ideal setting for anybody who likes to entertain.

Access is provided to the utility room whilst bi-fold doors open out to the beautiful rear garden.

The utility room has tiled flooring, space for appliances, a window to the rear and a door which leads to an excellent home office which has been converted from the original garage.

The dining room has wooden flooring, space for a table to seat eight guests and a window to the rear.

The sitting room has wooden flooring and bi-fold doors to the rear.

Completing the ground floor is the superb feature bedroom suite.

The bedroom is very spacious and has wooden flooring, a window to the rear and access to a dressing room which has a window to the side, and the stunning en-suite with a feature oversized oval bath and separate walk in double shower.

The first floor landing has a useful storage cupboard and a Velux window to the rear.

The guest bedroom, which is known as the black and white room, has exposed beams, two useful storage areas, a Velux window to the side and a window to the rear, whilst the third double bedroom has two Velux windows to the front and a useful storage area.

Seller Insight

From our very first viewing of Christmas Corner, we knew we belonged here,” say the current owners. “We loved everything about it: the location at the centre of the village, within walking distance of Banbury; the private, south facing garden; and of course the house itself.”

Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “We have rebuilt the Lodge to create amazing annex accommodation complete with a new kitchen and en suite shower room,” they say. “The Lodge and the entire main building have had the fascia, soffit and guttering replaced and upgraded, and the entire front wall of brick has been replaced with new cladding and ironstone. Among other things, an alarm system has been fitted, with a ring doorbell and cameras; the wiring has been upgraded to 3 phase throughout; air source heat pumps including underfloor heating have been installed; and engineered oak flooring has been laid on the ground floor, with new carpets upstairs. We have converted the garage to a home office, and extended the kitchen to create a space which is fully functional for all our needs, so that whoever is cooking can talk to whoever is in the room relaxing. New bi fold patio doors in the kitchen and sun lounge provide an easy flow between house and garden, while the installation of a 7 seat hot tub with adjacent bar, covered by a wooden gazebo, has proven ideal for summer entertaining. Landscaping to the corner of the garden next to The Lodge provides a sun trap, a ‘happy place’ for relaxing in the summer sun. Bordered by plants and trees, the large, well-maintained lawn has played host to several garden parties and barbecues, always including use of the hot tub and bar.”

The location of the property has much to recommend it, too. “We are not overlooked by any neighbours, so enjoy a wonderful sense of peace and privacy,” the owners say. “The serenity of the village location is coupled with the wonderful community spirit which comes with village life. There are good schools locally, including a junior school in the village itself. Just 110 yards from our door is a friendly gastro pub serving great food, and the butcher’s van visits the village weekly with delicious local meats. Regular buses pass through the village, and we are within walking distance of Banbury retail park for large stores including Marks & Spencer, to name just one of many.”

“We shall miss the serenity of the village location, coupled with the wonderful community spirit of village life.”*

The Lodge:

Another huge benefit of the property is the detached annexe known as The Lodge.

This is ideal as a teenage suite or for an elderly relative to live on site whilst maintaining their own independence.

The lodge comprises a kitchen/sitting room which has wooden flooring, a fitted hob, oven, microwave and slimline dishwasher and access to the bedroom which benefits from an en-suite shower room.

The gardens are beautifully laid out, mainly to lawn with various seat ing areas.

There are attractive borders, space for a hot tub and an outdoor bar, perfect for summer drinks.

A brick outhouse contains the workings for the Air Source heating and to the front of the property there is parking for six cars.

The garage door remains so anybody wanting a garage could quite easily convert the office back to its original purpose.

A wonderful and flexible home, presented to the highest of standards, which must be viewed.
