Location
Spencer Gardens is a small residential cul-de-sac situated close to the centre of Brackley, an established market town near the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire borders. The town retains a distinct historic core centred around the Market Place, where the early 18th-century Town Hall forms a notable architectural landmark. St Peter’s Church, a weekly market and a varied selection of independent shops, cafés, public houses and everyday services are also found within the town.

Recreational amenities include Brackley Leisure Centre, which provides a 25-metre swimming pool, learner pool, gym, sports hall and outdoor pitches. The surrounding area also offers access to countryside walks, while Silverstone and the wider local motorsport and engineering sector contribute to the area’s regional profile.

Educational provision includes local primary and secondary schools, together with Winchester House School, an independent co-educational day and boarding preparatory school for children aged three to thirteen, positioned on Brackley High Street.

The town is well placed for road travel, with the A43 providing connections towards the M40, Towcester and Northampton, and the A422 leading towards Banbury and Buckingham. Mainline rail services are available from Banbury and Bicester North.

Grounds
Front Aspect
The property forms part of an attractive terrace of matching dwellings, constructed in buff facing brick in a traditional 19th-century style beneath pitched tiled roofs.

Set back from Spencer Gardens, the property is approached over a tarmacadam driveway leading to two block-paved parking spaces. A traditional limestone boundary wall with rounded concrete coping separates the frontage from the public highway. The remainder of the front garden is laid with limestone chippings, providing space for container planting, while a concrete slab path leads to the canopied entrance, with a traditional-style coach light above.

Rear Garden
The rear garden is a well-maintained, low-maintenance space arranged into two principal areas. Immediately adjoining the house is a generous paved terrace, laid with large-format, pale-toned slabs and providing ample room for outdoor seating and dining. A retractable awning extends over the patio doors to provide shelter and shade.

Beyond the terrace, two raised timber planters contain a selection of established planting. A matching paved path continues to the rear pedestrian gate, with limestone chippings and mature shrubs to either side. There is space for a garden store to the rear right-hand corner. The garden is enclosed by close-boarded fencing and benefits from separate pedestrian access via a passageway running behind the terrace.
