Located at the intersection of Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire between Banbury and Buckingham just three-miles south of Brackley, this substantially extended detached family home sits in the leafy, secluded hamlet of Mixbury. Current owners Ed and Bridgette have lived here since 2004 and love the sense of space; ‘the flow of the generous ground floor through to the conservatory, which opens out onto a large walled rear patio area, is fantastic,’ says Bridgette, who has very much enjoyed calling this house a home. Mixbury, which sits hidden just off the A421 Is a lovely rural community of people who pull-together for quintessentially English events such as the annual summer fete and bonfire night whilst the neighbouring village of Evenley has an excellent pub and cricket pitch in the heart of the village. ‘It’s a perfect spot to raise a family with a host of excellent independent and state schools in the area. It’s a beautiful area to explore, with local villages accessible by bicycle along quiet country roads,’ explains Bridgette.

The location benefits from easy access to the A43 arterial route linking the M1 and M40 motorways which provides commuting options to Birmingham or London whilst the fast train service from Milton Keynes to London Euston takes just 35-minutes. Both Birmingham and Luton Airports are an hour drive away.

‘It’s a really quiet place to live, allowing you to recover from a busy week at work and feel like every weekend is a weekend away. The front and rear gardens offer great privacy and attract wildlife; wild deer are regular visitors to the garden in the Autumn.’

‘The light and airy double aspect living room which has a bay window overlooking the front garden and French windows opening out onto the rear garden. It’s warm and cosy with an open fire in winter and benefits from sunlight all day in the summer. We also love the large master suite which has wonderful views of rolling countryside.’

‘From within a wooded copse at the end of the rear garden we’ve opened out a decked garden area with a water feature, planters and a bench seat. It’s so tranquil and provides a perfect sun trap in the summer.’

‘Summer parties in the enclosed garden with our friends enjoying a barbecue and drinks on the patio. There’s enough space to have a bouncy castle to amuse the younger children as well as space for teenagers to enjoy themselves.’

‘We love the house, the peace and the privacy it offers. Our children have grown up here, but now that they have homes of their own we are seeking something smaller.’*
