Description
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a handsome double fronted brick and stone semi detached Victorian house which requires modernisation occupying a generous plot in the heart of the village
Situation - BODICOTE is a popular and thriving village lying approximately a mile and a half South of Banbury. It has a community feel with such groups as The Bodicote Cricket Club and Bodicote Players Amateur Dramatics. Within the village amenities include a Post Office/shop, farm shop and café, two public houses, Cotefield Nurseries and coffee shop, Bishop Loveday Church of England Primary School, village hall, Banbury Rugby Club, Kingsfield sports and recreation area with children's playground, Bannatyne's Health and Leisure Club, and a bus service to and from Banbury 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:
* Bodicote Cottage, 16 High Street represents a rare opportunity to acquire a handsome brick and stone built semi detached Victorian house which requires modernisation in a conservation area in the heart of the village.
* It boasts a number of period features including high ceilings throughout, picture rails, high skirtings, original doors, feature fireplaces, exposed wood floors and sash windows.
* This double fronted house has reception rooms to either side of a generous hall which has a black and white tiled floor and storage cupboards under the stairs.
* The main reception room has a window to the front, French doors to the rear garden, exposed wood floor and large fireplace.
* The kitchen and dining room are currently separated but we believe there is scope for this to be opened to create one large well lit open plan area subject to building regulations approval.
* The dining room has a window to front, exposed wood floor and picture rails whilst the kitchen has a range of birch effect units, plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher, space for fridge and freezer, gas cooker point, doors to built-in cupboards and stable door opening to the rear garden.
* Ground floor shower room/WC with a white suite, window and door to a large storage/boiler cupboard.
* Three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes/cupboards, exposed wood floors and original fireplaces.
* Large bathroom created from a former bedroom and fitted with a dated white suite, extensive storage and airing cupboard. We believe that there is ample space to create an ensuite to the master bedroom subject to building regulations approval.
* To the front of the property there is a driveway providing off road parking space for one/two vehicles with adjacent raised lawn and borders.
* To the rear there is a large walled garden affording a high degree of privacy with patio, raised lawn and borders and a detached brick built outbuilding which could serve as a workshop/garden store. At the rear of the property there is a pedestrian access behind the neighbouring property (number 18) which is owned by the subject property and leads via a right of way through the garden of number 20 to High Street.
