The Twistle, Daventry - Large plot

A detached Edwardian style period house on the edge of the village with lovely outlooks to the front standing in gardens extending to approximately a fifth of an acre and accommodation that requires modernisation

Situation - BYFIELD is a particularly well served village lying almost equidistant between the towns of Daventry and Banbury. Within the village there is a primary school and nursery, a Post Office and stores, a petrol station, public house, Parish Church, Doctor's surgery and various sports facilities. There is a regular daily bus service to Banbury and Daventry. The nearby market towns of Daventry and Banbury provide more specialised requirements. Communication is good with access to the M40 (J11) Banbury about 11 miles and M1 (J16) Northampton about 12 miles, train services from Banbury to London Marylebone (from about 51 minutes). Sporting activities in the area include golf at Staverton and Hellidon; indoor sports complexes at Banbury and Daventry; horse racing at Towcester, Warwick and Stratford-Upon-Avon; motor racing at Silverstone; and theatre at Stratford-Upon-Avon and Oxford.

A floorplan has been prepared to show the dimensions and layout of the property as detailed below. Some of the main features are as follows:

* A brick built detached Edwardian style period house which requires updating.

* Located on the edge of the village with attractive outlooks to the front.

* Occupying a large plot extending to approximately a ? of an acre.

* Retaining some period features including bay windows, picture rails, fireplaces and doors.

* Sitting room with bay window, tiled open grate fireplace and picture rails.

* Dining room with open fire.

* Kitchen with window to side overlooking the garden, a door opening to the side and door to understairs cupboard.

* Main double bedroom with bay window to front with lovely rural views, picture rails.

* Second double bedroom with window to side, fitted wardrobe and picture rails.

* Third single bedroom with window to front and views over countryside.

* Bathroom fitted with a suite comprising panelled bath with mixer taps and shower attachment, wash hand basin and WC, window, door to built-in airing cupboard.

* Gates open to a driveway at the front which in turn provides off road parking space and leads to the detached garage. The gardens extend to front, side and rear with large lawned areas, shaped beds and borders. To the rear there is an outside WC, shed, patio and another lawned area.

* We believe that there may be potential for development within the curtilage either to extend the existing house or for a separate dwelling subject to planning permission. It should be noted that an application for planning consent for a bungalow in the garden was rejected in 2006.
