House For Sale £325,000
Introduction
In 1966 the current owner’s parents walked down to The Close to choose their plot on what was then this new development and plummeted for what is now 6 The Close as it had the biggest plot, and was ideal for a young family with plenty of room for growing vegetables. The property has stayed in the family ever since and has been a wonderful family home through the years and now comes to the market as their elderly mother is in a nursing home.
The property is neat and tidy inside but it’s possible that the buyer may want to update the floor coverings, wall and some ceiling finishes and refit the Kitchen, but it is well enough presented that this may not be an immediate requirement and you can just move in and live in it as it is and work around any updating.
The major appeal of the property is the rooms are light and airy and the large rear garden is going to be ideal for gardeners or those with families as there is plenty of room for playing and ball games. The property also has a long driveway with plenty of parking space and a Garage.
This delightful home offers rooms of good proportions and has a Kitchen/Breakfast Room you can fit a table in and a view through the Conservatory to the rear garden. Off the Kitchen is a Larder Cupboard.
The Living/Dining Room is L-shaped and is a lovely light room with two large windows to the front.
What is currently Bedroom 4 on the ground floor was originally designed as a dining room and offers the flexibility to create a home office for those who may work from home (or if you prefer you could use Bedroom 3 on the first floor for this purpose). There is also a ground floor Shower Room and Coats Cupboard on this floor.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, one being en suite and a useful eaves storage cupboard of Bedroom 3 where the gas fired boiler is housed.
The property sits on a generous approximately 0.20 Acre plot with gardens to the front and a large rear garden which is principally laid to lawn with two sheds and a summer house.
There is a driveway providing parking for several motor cars and gated side access to the rear garden.
Chipping Warden is a pretty village with many period homes and cottages, and some lovely walks alongside the River Cherwell and across to the Edgcote Estate.
Chipping Warden’s name comes from the old English words of Ceping (market) after the 14th Century market that was held in the village but was revoked by Henry III, and Warden (watch hill) a reference to “Warden Hill” located a mile north east of the village.
Village amenities include: Two Pubs (one currently shut), primary school, village hall, cricket and children’s football clubs, children’s playground, Women’s Institute, and Church.
Nearest local shops are: Byfield (3 miles) Co-op, farm shop, petrol station and medical centre. Cropredy (4 miles) with two Cafes, Shop, Post Office, Doctors Surgery and Dispensary.
Chipping Warden is some 6 miles north east of Banbury, the nearest town, where a wide range of amenities can be found including supermarkets (M&S, Waitrose, Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi), shopping, restaurants, and cafes, ten pin bowling, sports centre, gyms, and a cinema. For commuters, Banbury has rail links to London, Oxford, Bicester, and Birmingham and is on J11 of the M40 motorway.

Sellers Perspective
So, what particularly attracted you to the property when you bought it?
My parents had the pick of the plots when the properties were new and first sold and my father chose this particular property as he was attracted to it because of the size of the garden and the fact there was plenty of room to grow vegetables.
How long have owned the property?
The family bought this home from new in 1966 and it has been in the family ever since.
Briefly, can you tell me some of the things you love about living here?
a. We have enjoyed many lovely parties here over the years, I can remember as a seven year old child inviting children from the village school to my birthday parties and we celebrated my mother’s 90th Birthday here.
b. For about forty years being able to help grow and pick vegetables from the garden.
c. There are lots of lovely walks in the village, Edgcote Park adjoins the village which is traffic free and the River Cherwell runs through the park.
Why are you moving?
My mother is at the age now where she needs 24 hour care and is now in a nursing home.
What will you miss the most?
Having grown up here there are so many lovely family memories. The simple things like playing games in the garden as children and sitting out in the garden are things I shall remember fondly.
