Mackenzie Cottage is an attractive period cottage set down the end of a quiet lane in the heart of the highly desirable village of Adderbury with views over open countryside.
The facade of the property is extremely appealing with its honey-coloured stone and striking stone mullion windows. The property has been extended over the years and the current owner has sympathetically introduced modern living amongst the period charm to create an extremely characterful and comfortable home.
The main entrance is to the side of the house and leads into a hallway with w/c which follows into a spacious light-filed central reception room offering a delightful a floor to ceiling window making it a perfect place to sit and enjoy views of the south facing garden.
To the right of the room an elegant crittell glass sliding door is set into an exposed stone wall with steps leading down onto a stunning sitting room with a fireplace centrepiece. The large stone mullion windows occupying the front of the room can really be appreciated here. A sliding door provides access to the garden to the rear.
The generous L-shaped kitchen/diner to the other side of the central reception room with granite worktops and Britannia range oven offers ample space for a dining table and overlooks the garden. Beyond this is a separate useful utility room with a further sink offering access to the garden.
Upstairs, the impressive master bedroom includes a glass-enclosed sun room offering far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. There is a dressing area, extensive built in wardrobes, and tastefully refurbished ensuite shower room.
There are two further bedrooms to the front of the property above the sitting room, again enjoying the fabulous windows. One is a doubles room with built-in storage, the other a single. There is another double room, also with built-in storage, and a good sized family bathroom.
Outside the west-facing patio is a peaceful haven enjoying many hours of sunlight throughout the day. The garden is mainly laid to lawn including some carefully selected plants, and is set over two levels. A large L-shaped garage, ideal for a workshop or home office can be accessed from the garden. The driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles.
The property is tucked away on a quiet lane just off the High Street which is home to a range of excellent local facilities including two pubs - The Bell Inn and Coach & Horses traditional country pub, Harpers coffee house, a convenience store, library and hairdressers. The Pickled Ploughman & Red Lion pubs are both within walking distance. Adderbury Lakes nature reserve and the village playing fields are nearby green spaces. The steeple of the beautiful fourteenth century church of St Mary The Virgin is visible from the garden.
Adderbury is a particularly sought after conservation area providing a picturesque gateway to the many delights and attractions of the surrounding Cotswold towns, villages and countryside. Situated close to the M40 motorway, three miles south of Banbury and 20 miles North of Oxford,
The local community is very active with many clubs ranging from squash, tennis and cricket, to babies and toddlers groups, brownies, scouts, photography, gardening and WI. Also within the village there is the Christopher Rawlins Church of England primary school. Secondary education can be found at Bloxham.
There is easy access to junctions 10 (Ardley) & 11 (Banbury) of the M40 and regular rail services from Banbury or Bicester North to London Marylebone.
