Claughton Firs, Oxton

So we'll try not to overdo this particular property description, other than to say this: as an agent with what we would like to think of as having a penchant for presenting and selling period homes, and a particular interest of the elegance and detailed architecture that many of Oxton Village properties (and its environs) have to offer, well, we would simply like to suggest that this home is nothing less than 'dreamy'...

A slightly odd adjective to use to describe a home you say; we say this is an acknowledged form of endearment in all go-to 'homes and kitchen' magazines on coffee tables across the land.

Indeed this 'dreamy' home would sit comfortably within centre pages of Homes & Gardens for sure.
And our photo slideshow hereon in, we hope, expresses that 'dreaminess' of accommodation to which we refer.

For this is a beautiful home....



Putting that attraction aside for one moment, we would offer a few pointers to the discerning of you, in regards to the proportionality and layout of this period home.

Note for example the full width of house extension at ground floor, allowing for a generous open plan living/kitchen/dining room. An absolute treat of a room with skylights and tri-folding doors, which bring both sun and garden into this generous family room. Look too at the space the first floor offers: much bigger perhaps than one would expect from its external appearances. (Indeed, from comparable homes too).

Take stock of the luxurious bathroom, luxurious not just for size alone we say. This, the most gorgeous and generous of bathrooms, services two double bedrooms (noting that back 'in the day' the primary bedroom was first commandeered as the main living room - and living room size it certainly is).

And comparing sizes again, we hope you appreciate the first and second floor landing areas, bright, spacious and with the top floor in particular boasting magnificently 'preserved' pitch pine floor boards.

Up at this level are two further bedrooms, this time serviced by a rather attractive full shower room suite. There's good head height here noting in particular the width space to this bigger of the bedrooms.

Outdoors and you'll see the off-road parking for one; in fact there's parking for two given the white road line across the drive preventing others from parking - a special treat for central village living. And the garden to the rear is surprisingly private, south-facing too. The rear elevation has been 'K' rendered for weather-proofness.

Normally hereafter you'd find, or maybe even expect, a list of other features. On this (special) occasion we rather hoped that the images we present are sufficient to raise your interest and ultimately make you want to come and view this property.

That leaves us to say a few words about the property's location. Central to the village, with off-road village parking at a premium; the property is just around the corner from the shops. Oxton Village (conservation status) thrives; it's a busy 'hub' with a strong community.
