Introduction

12 Barcombe Close was built in 1986 and has been modernised and reconfigured over the years to create a roomy home that is great for modern living and offers a bit more space than you traditionally find in a modern three bedroom property in this price range. It also boasts a larger than average private rear garden that will appeal to those who like their outdoor entertaining space, with plenty of room for outdoor seating for those summer barbeques.

To the Ground Floor you come into an Entrance Hall with a Ground Floor Cloakroom and Cupboard there is a Kitchen with an opening through to the Living Room that means both rooms can borrow natural light from one another and creates a more open sociable feel.

The former garage has been converted to provide a generous sized Utility Room that is ideal for families, providing useful storage space and room for ironing and pets’ bedding. Of the Utility Room is a Hobby Room/Home Office or it would also make an ideal Children’s Playroom.

The Living Room opens onto a good sized Conservatory facing onto the Rear Garden that makes for a great flowing interconnecting space for either relaxing in or socialising in, with views and access to the rear garden, making it ideal for having family or friends around or for relaxing in at Christmas time as you could potentially put a table out in the Conservatory.

Upstairs also ticks boxes with three bedrooms, two being double bedrooms and a good sized single bedroom with a wonderfully well-appointed refitted Bathroom.

Outside there is a pleasant, good sized, private rear garden that is laid principally to lawn and patios. The current owners have constructed a timber workshop in the rear garden that would also be easy to convert into a garden bar area should you want to, and a large timber shed to the side of the house that provides great storage space for garden machinery, tools and bicycles where there is also gated side access.

To the front of the property is a driveway and gravelled parking area where it should be possible to park four/five motor vehicles.

Conveniently located within easy walking distance of local shops, pub and schools with many more town centre amenities close by within the town including a mainline railway station with connections to Oxford, Birmingham and London and access to J11 of the M40 motorway.

Banbury is a historic market town situated on the River Cherwell with the Oxford Canal running alongside it. The town has evolved around its historic shopping streets with the addition of a shopping centre with a more recent extension, Castle Quay Waterfront, that runs alongside the Canal including bar, eateries, bowling alley, and multiplex cinema. The town has a good selection of restaurants, cafes, pubs, gyms, shops and sports centre and has Rugby, Football, Cricket, Tennis and Bowling Clubs. Banbury has a mainline railways station with connections to London, Birmingham and Oxford etc and is on J11 of the M40 motorway making it ideal for commuters.

Sellers Perspective

So, what particularly attracted you to the property when you bought it?
I loved that it was familiar to the house I already lived in but with extra rooms both upstairs and downstairs. I was only moving to gain more space so this was the perfect place.

How long have owned the property?
7 years since May 2016.

Briefly, can you tell me some of the things you love about living here?
a. It is so quiet, there is no passing traffic which makes it feel really peaceful. The sun is on the back garden all day so makes it perfect to sit and relax in.
b. We love the big utility, it’s so useful having the ability to have a different room for the laundry and storage. This then means the kitchen is purely for cooking.
c. Our favourite thing is that we both have our hobby rooms where we can enjoy our different hobbies without encroaching on the living room or conservatory.
d. You are never short of parking, we can fit 5 cars on the drive so its ample when family and friends are visiting.
e. It is our first home together as a family so will always hold special memories from birthdays through to the planning of a wedding, lockdown, decorating, family barbecues and large Christmas gatherings. If we could take the house with us, we would.

Why are you moving?
We need more outside space for a larger workshop and garage for tinkering.

What will you miss the most?
As well as all the above we will miss the lovely neighbours, most of whom have been here since the houses were built. It’s a nice quiet cul-de-sac where we feel safe and at home.
