Seller Insight

Located on the edge of the sought after Oxfordshire village Greatworth, in a private close, this modern detached family home enjoys far- reaching country views and just the right amount of privacy. Striking the perfect balance between country life and convenience, the peaceful village location is complimented by easy access to excellent towns and cities such as Banbury, , Leamington Spa and Stratford upon Avon. ‘We were hugely attracted to the property for its quiet position and amazing views – the views need to be seen to be believed. The area was also perfect for schooling our two young boys – the village school was fantastic and one of the main reasons for moving from a town was for them to achieve a better education in smaller class sizes. The house is modern, spacious and light with unique characteristics such as a first-floor sitting room, open-plan downstairs living area and a separate office above the garage. The garden is much bigger than that of an average modern house, so there’s plenty of space for all the family, whether you want to lie in the sun or kick a ball around. We’ve lived here since 2003 and have made quite a few improvements, these include the over-garage office conversion, new windows, oil tank and boiler, bi-fold doors leading from the kitchen to the garden and the addition of terraces and patios.’

‘The village is a friendly place with a handy shop and a good, well attended, local pub. We’ve very much enjoyed getting together with our neighbours for village events and have been good friends with our immediate neighbours. We’ve spent memorable occasions with them sharing a barbeque, glass of wine, take-away, or a chat around an open fire.’

‘The cricket club at local Marston St. Lawrence is an influencing factor of the social scene in the summer months and both our boys have benefitted hugely from the facilities and general love of the greater cricketing village community.’

‘Our favourite room is the first floor sitting room for its stunning views and french doors which open onto the balcony; it’s a wonderful place to watch the summer sunsets, or similarly to snuggle up in front of a roaring fire in the winter. The office over the garage, with its full CAT5 network and internet connectivity and triangular gable window flooding the room with natural light, is a fantastic place to work.’*
