5 bedroom detached house

23 Banbury Road has been remodelled, extended and renovated by the current owners to a high standard in 2014, carefully designed by Design Visual to bring in lots of light and to suit modern day living with social living spaces. The heart of the house is the open plan kitchen/dining/family room which overlooks the garden with sliding glass doors and underfloor heating.

The drawing room enjoys plenty of light and sits at the front of the house with a bay window and gas fireplace. A useful sized utility room lies off the hallway as well as two useful cupboards, guest cloakroom and staircase rising to the first floor. The side extension was added by the previous owners in 2008 and provides very flexible accommodation which can be used as either a sitting room and office, or as a granny annexe with the study becoming a ground floor bedroom utilising the adjoining wet room. The sitting room features a vaulted ceiling, French doors opening onto the patio and a log burner. This room could form part of the granny annexe and there is gas and water in place so a kitchenette could be added.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits at the front of the house with built in cupboards. Bedroom 5 adjoins the master bedroom and the owners have plans drawn up to convert this into an en suite to the principal bedroom. There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor, one with en suite and the other uses the family bathroom. Located off the hallway and at the rear of the house, is a study area with staircase rising to a loft extension which features a double bedroom with Velux windows, en suite shower room and built in storage. There is scope to extend the first floor accommodation subject to the necessary consents. Useful loft storage is accessed from both the first floor bedroom and through the attic bedroom wardrobe.

The rear garden is a beautiful addition to the house and is quite generous in size, a rarity for the location. A large patio is a great entertaining and dining space in the summer months. The back of the house is rendered with aluminum windows, which looks incredibly smart. Steps lead up to a large area which is mainly laid to lawn and ideal for a family, with a gravel pathway. A good sized summer house lies to the side along with two further sheds used for storage (both with light and electric). To the front of the property there is a large gated graveled driveway, charging point and gated side access around one side of the property.
