North Street, Islip, Kidlington, Oxfordshire, OX5

An iconic family home located within this highly sought after village. As in the name ‘The Old Butchers shop’ the property was very many years the village butchers, with the property remaining many period features of this time specially within the front reception room. The property has been extended by the present owners and still benefits from the opportunity to enlarge into the roof space subject to planning to create a further bedroom and ensuite,

In brief the ground floor comprises a spacious and welcoming dual aspect entrance hall, principal living room with a gorgeous cast iron feature fireplace and parquet flooring, the front reception room with a feature tiled floor, and a very useful study/office with ample bookshelves benefitting from views of the rear garden. The breathtaking kitchen through dining space is the hub of the home with exposed oak beams, vaulted ceiling, and slate tiled floor this is certainly the showstopper. A small laundry space and timber conservatory complete the lower level. Upon the first floor are the three double bedrooms with ensuite to master and a four-piece family bathroom serving bedrooms two and three.

Externally the property offers a fully enclosed rear garden with a lawn and patio area, offering a good degree of privacy. There are two detached garages and off-road parking to the rear accessible from the adjacent street. A lovely family home, sold with no onward chain.
