House For Sale £950,000
The Croft is a charming cottage, immaculately
presented in a popular Oxfordshire village.
Both the cottage and annexe are approached
by a gravel area with ample parking. The front
elevation is clad with an established wisteria
and well stocked flower beds to complete the
perfect chocolate box façade.
Upon entering the property, you are
immediately aware of the wonderful history of
the building whilst benefitting from the modern
requirements of today’s world. The flagstone
hall leads on to the drawing room and sitting
room. Both have traditional inglenook fireplaces
fitted with a woodburning stove. There is access
to the garden from the drawing room. To the
left, from the hall, is a dining room with the third
inglenook fireplace with an open grate. Further
to this is a kitchen and breakfast room with a
volumous vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is fully
fitted with solid oak units, complemented by
a granite work surface. There is another door
leading onto the gardens.
Upstairs, there are three deceptively spacious
bedrooms, with the two largest with fitted
storage. There is a good sized secondary
landing offering potential as a dresssing room
or study area, and a bathroom. The loft runs
the full length of the house, the majority being
boarded and lit.
The annexe is a wonderful addition to The
Croft. The design could be a traditional barn
conversion and provides extra accommodation
as well as a large single garage. Although
detached, it is only a few paces between the
two properties.
Presently, the ground floor is occupied by
the garage, a study and WC. Upstairs are two
interconnected bedrooms and a full bathroom.
Location
Marsh Gibbon is a village in Aylesbury Vale district about 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Bicester. The village offers a wide range of facilities including a Post Office/shop, two Public Houses, garage/repair business, village hall, playground, tennis courts, playgroup and a well regarded Church of England Primary School with a swimming pool.
The market town of Bicester provides a full range of shopping, educational and sporting facilities as well as the popular Retail Outlet Village. There is further extensive schooling in Oxford, Banbury and the surrounding area.
Marsh Gibbon is well placed for communications, with access to junction 9 of the M40, A34, A41 and mainline rail services to London and Birmingham from Bicester with trains to London Marylebone taking from 45 minutes.
The gardens at The Croft are your own little
section of paradise. The current owners have
created a magical environment to enjoy all year
round.
A stream runs through the centre of the garden
adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The summer
house is positioned to enjoy this aspect as well
as the sunshine throughout the day. There are
numerous trees including a stunning walnut,
willow, silver birches and apple trees. The wide
range of shrubbery and flowerbeds provide
colour and fragrance during the course of
the spring and summer months. For culinery
gardeners, the raised beds are perfect for
growing vegetables. There is, unusually, a
working well and a semi circular terrace from
which you can admire the whole garden. For
practicality, there is a garden shed tucked away
behind the annexe. In all about 0.3 acres
presented in a popular Oxfordshire village.
