Location - Eydon is a village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, located about 8 miles northeast of Banbury and roughly 10 miles southeast of Daventry.
The parish is bordered by the River Cherwell to the west, a tributary stream to the south, and fields to the north and east. The Church of St Nicholas, a Grade II* listed building, showcases notable English Romanesque architecture. The village also features a 17th-century public house, the Royal Oak.
Eydon is approximately 11 miles from Banbury railway station and around 7 miles from Junction 11 of the M40. For everyday shopping, the nearby village of Woodford Halse is just 1.5 miles away.
Ground Floor - Entrance is via a half-glazed front door into a welcoming hallway, featuring elegant travertine flooring which flows seamlessly into the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room.
The stunning kitchen/diner is bathed in natural light, with a charming bay window seat overlooking the front aspect and double French doors opening onto the rear garden. The stylish navy blue kitchen is beautifully complemented by white quartz work surfaces and matching splashback, offering an excellent range of base and eye-level units. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge freezer, with space provided for a range cooker. Floor-to-ceiling pantry and utility cupboards, both with convenient power points, provide exceptional storage. A Belfast sink is complemented by an additional stainless steel sink for added practicality. A door leads through to the utility room, fitted with matching navy cabinetry and housing a stacked washing machine and dryer, along with direct access to the rear garden.
Positioned across the hallway, the spacious living room features solid oak flooring and a central fireplace with wood-burning stove. Windows to the front and side, together with French doors opening onto the rear garden, flood the room with natural light and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The ground floor is completed by a convenient cloakroom, with stairs rising to the first floor.
First Floor - Stairs, fitted with classic sisal carpeting, rise to a bright and spacious first-floor landing, finished with elegant oak flooring.
The light-filled primary bedroom enjoys a peaceful position and features a stylish panelled feature wall, with dual-aspect windows overlooking the garden. The contemporary en-suite is fully tiled in white and comprises a walk-in shower with glazed screen, hand wash basin with double cupboard beneath, WC, chrome heated towel rail, and a window to the rear.
Bedroom two is a generous double room overlooking the rear garden, while bedroom three is a further spacious double benefiting from dual-aspect windows to the front. The oak flooring continues into bedroom four, currently arranged as a nursery, also featuring a decorative panelled wall and dual-aspect windows, creating a bright and versatile space. The beautifully appointed family bathroom features a modern white suite, including a bath with rainfall shower over, complemented by marble floor tiles and matching splashbacks. A hand wash basin with double cupboard beneath, WC, and a heritage-style radiator with integrated towel rail complete the room. Additional storage is provided by a useful airing cupboard housing the hot water tank.
Outside - This impressive stone-built property occupies a slightly elevated position and is approached via a shared gravel driveway, with attractive raised stone flower beds to the front and steps leading to a pale grey, part-glazed entrance door. The property benefits from an attached garage, ample off-road parking for several vehicles, and the convenience of an EV charging point.
Gated access to both sides leads through to the delightful rear garden, which is fully enclosed by a combination of characterful stone and brick walls, creating a private and sunny outdoor space. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by well-stocked flower beds, along with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. An Indian stone paved terrace spans the rear of the property, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with all principal rooms opening directly onto it. The rear entrance is further enhanced by a slate canopy, offering a sheltered area. To one end, a dedicated seating area enjoys the best of the sunshine, while raised vegetable beds and steps leading up to a garden shed complete this thoughtfully arranged and highly appealing garden.
