Rare opportunity in sought after village.
Description
The Old Manse is a striking, detached home with a self-contained annexe on the edge of the much-sought after village of Sulgrave. With countryside views and a generous garden the plot offers a real feeling of space.
Having been extended and improved over the years, the property continues to offer further scope. It offers an exciting opportunity, especially for those seeking secondary accommodation and outbuildings.
The main house comprises a hallway leading to a spacious, dual aspect sitting room with wooden parquet floor and open fireplace. There is a separate dual aspect dining room with bay window and door leading into the kitchen. The kitchen / breakfast room includes a range of fitted units. Connecting to the kitchen is a generous garden room with full height windows and doors opening into the garden. This is a versatile room and could have further potential, subject to any necessary planning permissions. There is also a downstairs WC and access into the garage.
The first floor provides a double bedroom with an en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, both with countryside views and one with fitted wardrobes. There is also a generous bathroom.
The property is accessed via a private drive with paved turning circle in front of the house, providing ample off street parking for several cars. There is also a double garage, above which is an annexe / studio flat accessed via an external staircase. This has a spacious principal room, a separate kitchen and a shower room.
The property also benefits from a useful store / utility room and a spacious, secondary store / workshop suitable for a variety of uses.
The generous and level, landscaped garden has been well-kept and includes a large lawn, beds of perennials, mature shrubs, fruit trees and a small pond.
Location
Sulgrave is a popular, rural village situated in the south Northamptonshire countryside, close to the North Oxfordshire border, about 8 miles north east of Banbury. A conservation village, its Manor House was once the ancestral home of George Washington and today the thriving community boasts a village hall, shop, post office, public house and parish church. There is also a mobile butcher and fishmonger that visit the village once a week.
The nearby market towns of Banbury (8 miles) and Brackley (8 miles) provide local amenities including supermarkets, schools and banks. Oxford (34 miles), Northampton (20 miles) and Milton Keynes (26 miles) provide for more extensive leisure, retail and cultural facilities.
