Some more information on this cracking home…

It’s difficult to know where to start with this 'contemporary crib' but it is called ‘The Sanctuary’ for a reason… the best way we can describe it is a blend of a modern hotel/B&B vibes merged with a tech lover’s dream.

The house has undergone a huge transformation since 2018. The main changes were the kitchen, dining room sliding doors, the windows and patio doors, the bathroom, the en-suite and the lovely garden.

Some excellent features have been added so we’ll go through a few but you’ll have to pop in for a look around to see the rest…the current owner has given us details that will help us explain everything on the viewing.

Glass sliding bi-fold doors were added to the dining room/sitting room, with built-in blinds. Brilliant if you want a more spacious open-planned ground floor or separate off as a private room if you have guests staying and makes a temporary fourth bedroom.

The modern style wood-burner in the main sitting room is a very nice feature, particularly on a chilly evening, so we are told.

What makes the property a smart home? It has ‘Control 4’ installed. We can explain more on the viewing but all you need to know is there are touch screens in all the main living spaces, security cameras to the front and rear elevations, plus one in the entrance hall. You can control sound, lighting, security and the overall vibes of the house with this system.

You can see everything going on in the property on your smart phone which is handy and of course you can still control the house whilst you are away. You can of course remove it, but we feel you wouldn’t be able to live without it, once you’ve experienced it.

Discreetly fitted ceiling speakers are installed in the main bedroom, en-suite, bathroom, dining room, kitchen and front and rear Garden – it's great in the evenings and weekends when all the speakers are on, inside and out.

The double garage is a very rare find and has a conveniently installed ladder to a professionally boarded loft space. We love the white walls and the painted floor - it’s the little things, isn’t it?

The front garden was designed by a ‘Chelsea Flower Show’ designer and just needs maintaining. The flowers just keep giving and giving. It is awesome in the evenings as you will see in the photos.

The elevated position of this home just adds to the security, peace and tranquillity of the place.

The ‘covered area/hut’ is a great place to have a rest, think work or even meditate. There is a WIFI access point there and you can listen to music too and just change it from your phone. You could of course… just soak up the peace and quiet and enjoy the occasion ‘ding dong’ from the beautiful church spire – and beautifully lit at night too.

You’re best to come over for a viewing to see the rest…

Byfield is a very friendly village, and you can join in as much as you like. Very conveniently, the village provides a Co-Op with Post Office; Petrol Station; Doctors' Surgery a Primary School and a Nursery.

For the 'sporty', Byfield possesses a number of clubs, including football; cricket; bowls and tennis, whilst fishing and sailing are available at Boddington reservoir, located on the outskirts of the village.

You can pretty much get anywhere in the country with easy reach to main roads – M1/M6/A5, one way and the M40 the other.

Daventry is no more than 15 mins away and Banbury 25 mins.

A day out in the Cotswolds really is a very nice trip out, it’s a nice drive and really not that far away.

As for the Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire Countryside – we love showing new visitors to our area.

When you live here for the first time and start exploring you will soon discover the smaller country roads, bridleways and footpaths.

There is a local pub in the village and plenty of others in the surrounding villages of Eydon, Hellidon, Boddington and many others further out. Harley Equestrian, just before you get to Eydon, is great for breakfast!

Feel free to give us a call if you would like to know more about the property or the owner and then to make a private viewing appointment.
