House For Sale £425,000
A roomy four bed detached house with double garage, in a small & quiet close on the edge of a village. Separate living & dining rooms, kitchen & utility, plus a newly fitted en-suite. Fritwell is a lovely community, with a good first school & village store, just a few miles from every amenity.
Fritwell is a pretty village dating back to before the Norman Conquest. For a village of less than 500 inhabitants it is fortunate to have a post office and shop plus an award-winning butchers, a Village Hall for community and private events, two churches and a playing field with play and multi-sports areas for children, plus there is a great C of E first school. Its access is also excellent with the M40 nearby and Bicester rail station to London less than 6 miles. This combined with its situation amid some of the prettiest countryside makes it a great place to live.
Hodgson Close is a discreet development of late 20th century houses, built to provide the village with intelligently designed and affordable properties for its increasing population. With a good mix of 2,3,4 and 5 bed houses, there is a lovely balance of younger owners, families and retirees in the same, quiet close. And as it's located on the edge of the village field walks are just a few moments from the front door. This particular house has been owned by our client for some years so a little cosmetic updating could make it more modern. But the condition "as-is" is very good and in recent months a new en-suite has been fitted. A double garage provides unusually good, sheltered parking opposite, and the house sits in a sub-close with just a few neighbours so it's incredibly quiet; a perfect place to bring up any family.
The house is accessed via a welcoming and bright front porch, which opens via a second door into a characterful and broad hallway. On the left, the stairs rise and turn, with a window providing excellent natural light. To the right, a cloak room is well presented and fitted with a white suite. Keep to the right and the kitchen at the rear is a very good size. Units run round three sides at the end of the room, with a window in the rear wall offering a lovely view across the garden. The kitchen as well equipped with a double oven and a four ring gas hob, plus there is space for a dishwasher et cetera. In addition, to the side is a utility room which offers yet more storage plus a second sink, and plumbing for a washing machine keeps the noisiest of the white goods away from the main spaces. A door from the utility provides access to the side passage to both front and rear gardens.
Back to the hallway, on the left a deep under stairs cupboard provides excellent storage. Next to it, the dining room is both well proportioned and really quite roomy. There’s plenty of space for a large dining table, with more than enough room to spare for dressers, chests and the like. And to the front it overlooks the small front garden and close. Connected to it via a pair of glazed doors, the sitting room to the rear is another very pleasant room. The main focal point is a fireplace, in which is fitted a gas fire, and at the rear a pair of glazed doors are flanked by to further windows hence the light is excellent. It’s a lovely room, and the connecting doors to the garden really do encourage Summer dining.
Heading upstairs the landing is a neat oblong, with doors off to all rooms. On the right is the first of four good size bedrooms, with a view to the front out across the close. Next door, the bathroom features a white suite, with tiling around the bath and toilet. There is also a shower attachment above the bath. At the rear of the landing, a large double with excellent proportions is currently used as a very ample study by our client. And just off to the left is the main bedroom, fully equipped with large, built in wardrobes, and the en-suite shower room has just been tastefully refitted with an attractive modern suite that includes a large shower pan. Completing upstairs the last bedroom is a further double, with an outlook back towards the close.
To the front of the house, a small front garden is attractively enclosed by railings, with a central path to the door. Access on the right runs down a path to the garden gate. The garden is fully enclosed, perfect for small children and pets alike, and very pleasantly arranged to provide a lot of interesting and varied flowers and plants without too much maintenance. Various planters, beds, a veg patch etc rub shoulders with a terraced sun trap to one corner and an ornamental pond, all conspiring to provide a really relaxing place to spend time. And for those who prefer lawn, the space is such that a wide turfed area could be incorporated with more than enough space for a terrace if desired.
