SELLER INSIGHT This gem of a home, once the village post office, is located in the heart of this traditional village. Conveniently located to Towcester and Banbury with a wealth of local amenities close at hand. Surrounded by a patchwork of stunning countryside, the house, beautifully restored by Cris and Claire, has been their much treasured home for the past six years. “Our house is certainly different from the property we came to view six years ago. Built over one hundred years ago, in glorious, honey coloured stone. Constructed on three fioors, the original post office had closed five years previously, and had been a domestic dwelling, with a more recent extension added. However, on stepping over the threshold and, despite its sad condition, we just fell in love with the house, its location, history, together with its obvious potential to becomes a brilliant home. We peeled back years of neglect and melded old and new to become this fabulous home, with an exceptional flexible layout. During the restoration, we revealed lots of history and many interesting artefacts, including tiny shoes and bottles, all now carefully incorporated back into the fabric of the house. We do feel proud in our renovation of the property and restoring its unique history. There is a brilliant social connectivity throughout, and it is a fabulous home to share with our friends and family whatever the occasion. Winter nights are very special with the log fire aglow, curtains drawn and our reception room becomes an exceptional cosy haven. In addition, the outbuildings, provide offices for home working, together with a self-contained apartment; ideal when we have visitors, but would be excellent for separate accommodation for a family member.” “Local amenities are admirable, and we enjoy ease of access to road and rail links to commute or travel to all parts of the land. Our local village is extremely friendly with many activities taking place. The Friday night pub held in the village hall is very popular to meet up with friends and neighbours. Transport to schools is provided and there is a wide choice of education establishments available. There are endless walks and bridle paths through the local countryside, with many opportunities to enjoy stress free hacking.” “Our garden is extremely private and leads through to a large paddock. With such a generous amount of internal and external space, it is the most perfect spot in which to welcome large gatherings for those special occasions.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
