North Bar Street, Banbury, OX16

Hortons are delighted to bring to the market one of the most unique offerings in recent times, a four storey, lovingly maintained & improved, Georgian cottage that has a perfect blend of original character, & modern conveniences.

The Property

A truly stunning three bedroomed Georgian cottage, that is beautifully presented throughout, and has undergone extensive improvement works to create a stylish, and functional place to call home. The entrance hallway is welcoming, and the natural light pouring throughout the property is amazing, it has a lovely fresh, modern feel to the space. The main room on the ground floor is a large open plan sitting dining room, with a feature fireplace, as seen in the photos. There are doors to the cellar, garden and kitchen from this space, further adding to the flow of the property. The cellar is a good size, dry, and currently used for storage. The ceiling height throughout is noticeable, another typical trait of Georgian properties. The kitchen has been installed recently and is a fresh space, having a range of eye and base level units, storage options, as well as integral fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The cloak room is newly refurbished having basin & w/c.

The first floor consists of a large family bathroom, having a four piece suite, and bedrooms two and three. Both of these bedrooms have views of the tree lined North Bar St, & St Marys Church. There is a staircase from the spacious landing to the top floor, being the master bedroom that occupies the entirety of the space. The beams on show in this room are substantial, wonderful features, that don’t intrude on the space, and the high ceilings again are a stunning feature. There is a basin & w/c at the end of this room, this space could absolutely be turned into a full shower ensuite if desired.

The Garden is a large courtyard style garden, being low maintenance but also very stylish & peaceful. There is ample room for a lounging area, BBQ’ing areas, a storage shed (having power connected) and there is a tucked away seating area at the foot of the garden, a peaceful space in this central location.

A few notes on the house, the front door is new, windows recently installed and are a high quality heritage design that are in-keeping with the house, the boiler is only two years old and within it’s warranty period, an external roof at the rear of the property is newly improved, cloakroom is new, etc..the current owners have done a superb job of improving this beautiful property, but also making it relatively easy maintenance for any future owners.

The Location

Properties of this magnitude rarely become available in this area, and when they do, they are exceptionally popular due to the proximity to all daily amenities. If you are someone who loves to be within very comfortable walking distance of coffee shops, parks, restaurants, bars, shops, pubs, and even your barber/ hairdresser, this house is absolutely one that you should be viewing. It’s amazing how private the property is despite it’s central location, even the garden is quiet, the house almost protects it from any noise. Commuters have a 10-15 minute easy walk to the railway station, and there are main roads leaving in all directions for road commuters. There are countryside walks and pubs in every direction you decide to leave, as well as excellent sporting and schooling choices nearby too.
