Hinton-In-The-Hedges, Nr Brackley, NN13

An individual detached split-level bungalow, standing in mature gardens and grounds and located on the edge of one of South Northamptonshire's most favoured villages. Constructed of stone beneath a tiled roof with UPVC double glazed windows and oil-fired heating. The property provides versatile accommodation with three reception rooms. The sitting room and dining room are separated by a full-height stone chimney breast with an open fireplace and featuring a balcony from the dining room. There is also a separate study. The kitchen /breakfast room is fitted with a range of modern units and appliances to include oven, grill, hob and dishwasher. There is also a separate utility room with access to the garage. In addition, there are four bedrooms including two with fitted wardrobes and the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room.

Outside

A shared entrance with the neighbouring property leads to a block paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles and a detached double garage. The mature grounds are a gardener’s dream wrapping around the property, enclosed by natural hedgerow boundaries and providing privacy and seclusion. A paved terrace and gravelled seating areas provide options for outside dining and entertaining. A narrow meandering stream winds its way through the gardens with a weathered wooden bridge giving access to either side of the stream which is flanked by extensive lawns, wildflowers and native plants with mature trees providing shade. Informal beds of perennials complement while pathways of gravel curve gently through the garden, suggesting exploration rather than direction. A greenhouse is quite testament to the careful tending. A large garden studio/office equipped with power and lighting offers a variety of potential uses. This is a garden where nature and nurture coexist — not manicured to perfection, but loved into a kind of cultivated wildness. In all, 0.73 of an acre.

Situation

Hinton-in-the-Hedges lives up to its name, as it is in an unspoilt and hidden location yet close to the facilities of the market town of Brackley. More shopping and recreational facilities can be found in Banbury which also has a twice weekly market, the Castle Quay Shopping Centre, Gateway Retail Park (Banbury M40) and Spiceball Leisure Centre. The A43 provides access to both the M40 and M1 motorways. Both Banbury and Bicester provide train services to London (Marylebone).
