Sellers Perspective
So, what particularly attracted you to the property when you bought it?
We were familiar with how desirable Sutton and Stanton Harcourt are and were attracted by the design and location of the property as it matched our desired lifestyle. Once we stepped inside, we intuitively knew this was the property for us, we just loved the layout and generous sized rooms. I was working a lot in London at the time and convenient access to Oxford Parkway was also important and we needed good off-road parking, and the property offered both.
How long have owned the property?
Approaching 6 years
Briefly, can you tell me some of the things you love about living here?
A. The friendly and welcoming joint Parish of Sutton and Stanton Harcourt. We have made many friends in the village and there is a lot going on. The recent lockdowns have made us appreciate even more what a wonderful place we live in.
B. The Harcourt Arms at Stanton Harcourt, is Michelin Recommended, and is a real asset. There is a paved footpath through the Leys, along which you can walk to the pub and restaurant if you don’t want to drive, and we often stroll to the pub along this route for a drink or a meal.
C. We like to entertain here and have enjoyed many good evenings in the Kitchen/Dining Room which is a fabulous size and is just ideal for having friends around.
D. There are lovely walks around the Village and some great cycling routes through the upper Thames Valley and Cotswolds.
E. The house is very warm and welcoming, and the heat pump and underfloor heating are efficient, it is always cosy here, we will certainly miss this form of heating.
Why are you moving?
To downsize, we don’t have the same need for so much space now and an opportunity has come up to purchase a smaller property in the village.
What will you miss the most?
We spend a lot of time in the Kitchen/Dining Room so this must be the thing we will miss the most about the property along with the cosiness of the underfloor heating that we have really enjoyed.
