The Leys, Chipping Norton

Maxwell Douglas Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this light-filled, stylish and immaculately presented, red brick Victorian period family home with original features throughout.

Situated on a highly sought after residential road, entry is through an enclosed porch with side windows and half-glazed front and inner doors with quarry tiled floor leading to a charming, 21'4 x 11'11 sitting room flooded with natural light from a large, original sash bay window. Fitted with bespoke alcove shelving and cupboards, including integrated shelving housing the TV, there's also a working wood burning stove within the original fireplace. To the rear of the property, a recently installed fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and engineered oak flooring. Overlooking the rear garden and mature woodland beyond, the kitchen also benefits from a feature roof lantern, track spotlights, a large bespoke, open shelving unit, additional storage shelves and dining space. Double, half-glazed doors open up to the separate dining room with two large roof lights, pendant and spot lighting and floor-to-ceiling glazed double doors opening out to the good-sized rear garden. Completing the ground floor is a light and airy 18'7 x 9'6 study and reception hall with half-glazed French doors to the front and incorporating a useful utility room with built-in shelving units, a Butler's sink surrounded by solid oak worktops, plumbing for a washing machine and dedicated space for a tumble dryer.

On the first floor, three double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobe and shelving, are served by a recently refurbished and well appointed family bathroom decorated with tiles and a countertop basin by Fired Earth. Bespoke plywood cabinetry with storage beneath lends a contemporary edge, while a spacious airing cupboard houses a large and recently replaced hot water tank and shower pump, with shelving for laundry storage above.

The top floor houses the main bedroom with built-in louvred door wardrobes, a newly remodelled ensuite shower room with brass fittings, and loft storage. Both staircases and upper floors are grounded by the house's original and recently restored pine floorboards.

The house sits behind a paved front garden bordered by mature beech hedges with a useful refuse bin and storage shed to one side. The well-designed and landscaped rear garden has steps down from the dining room to a good size block paved terrace, perfect for outdoor entertaining and which is also home to a garden shed and outside tap. A lawned area edged by well-stocked raised borders and flower beds dotted with mature trees and shrubs leads to a second patio of limestone pavers at the far end of the garden, and also edged with thriving borders containing a mature apple tree and well-established flowering shrubs, plants and climbers. The garden is enclosed by lapwood fencing or beech hedging, and also features mains connected outdoor wall and garden spot lights.

Situated in a quiet corner of town, but within a few minutes walk of Chipping Norton's thriving High Street, this former Victorian railway workers' cottage offers views of the surrounding landscape and wonderful country walks from its doorstep, and all within a walkable distance of the excellent local schools or school bus stops for Kingham and Cotswold schools.

We strongly recommend that you arrange to view this property at your earliest opportunity to fully appreciate what is on offer and to avoid missing out.
