Mixbury, Brackley

An extended stone-built cottage believed to date back in parts to the late 1870's. Set in an attractive edge-of-village position in the picturesque village of Mixbury, with a beautiful rear garden, a large workshop, garden office, and generous driveway parking.

The property combines the character of a traditional village cottage with practical family living, in an enviable location backing onto fields, next to the garden nursery and village coffee shop.

The spacious ground floor offers a welcoming sitting room, separate dining room, study, laundry room, and a cloakroom, while the impressive kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, featuring a bright dining area overlooking the garden.

The kitchen area has plenty of floor and eye-level units, integrated appliances, space for a dishwasher, all complemented by contemporary worksurfaces and tiled flooring, ideal for everyday family use.

The sitting room boasts a feature fireplace with an electric log fire, and patio doors leading to the garden, making it the perfect room for large family gatherings and cosy winter evenings alike.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom, served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room, making the property ideally suited to growing families or those seeking flexible guest accommodation.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own. A large gravel driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and leads to the detached workshop, offering excellent storage or space for a variety of hobbies (subject to any necessary consents).
For the car enthusiast, it's worth noting there is an inspection pit in the workshop too.

A separate garden office creates an ideal environment for home working, while the mature gardens complement the property beautifully, providing extensive lawns, established planting, secluded seating areas and plenty of space for children to play or for keen gardeners to enjoy.

A secluded area at the bottom of the garden has been a much-loved vegetable garden with a greenhouse, but would lend itself to being used as a child's play area too.
