Seller Insight

This magnificent family house is set along a quiet road containing other individual, established properties. The owners’ home was set on a sizeable plot, and they constructed a new property on part of their land, which became their new family home. With its convenient access and walled garden, it is a totally individual, delightful, property in which the owners have lived for several years.

Utilising the skills of an architect who interpreted the owners’ design and clever concepts, a brilliant house has been constructed. The owners’ exacting specification has produced a practical and luxurious home containing a wealth of innovations, many of which reflect the owners’ respect to the environment; one of these being the ingenious collection and use of rainwater. The overall style of the house does have a comfortable familiarity with its sense of space and brightness, alongside a companiable elegance which adds to the overall wow factor. Accommodation is both practical and comfortable with its superb kitchen leading through into the dining room which is perfect for family dining or more formal entertaining. In addition, the year round conservatory is a popular, much utilised space for the family to enjoy, especially with its outlook and access into the garden.

The garden also further reflects the owners’ interest in the environment. With its landscape and planting, it is adored by bees, butterflies, and other fascinating visiting wildlife. It is certainly a garden in which to switch off and to enjoy relaxed dining.

Lots of sociable events take place in this friendly and active village. It does have a well stocked convenience store and other essential amenities. There is a primary school here with other schools being located in nearby Banbury. This is also where the main line station is located which provides a quick and efficient service into the capital. The road network is also easy to access, and Oxford is within easy reach which is a delight to visit for concerts and museums, alongside wonderful architecture. In addition, the stunning Cotswolds are on the doorstep.

After living here very happily for many years it is for logistic family reasons that the owners are moving to live in another part of the country. They know that whoever decides to live here will enjoy the superb quality of life to be experienced whilst here.*
