Seller Insight

I think we’d both agree that there were a number of things that attracted us to the property when we initially came across it almost sixteen years ago,” says the owner. “Firstly, it’s a well-planned five-bedroom house, the size of which suited us perfectly, and it boasts a lovely big garden with some very attractive mature trees. The location was also a huge selling point. The property is positioned on this quite cul-de-sac, but crucially in a non-estate location, and it’s set back from the road and not overlooked back or front, so we enjoy a superb degree of privacy.”

“The house was very well designed and built, but when we bought it, it’s fair to say that it was a little tired and needed some modernising and redecorating, so over time we’ve made quite a few improvements. Among other things, we added a new fitted kitchen, complete with Rangemaster cooker, built-in dishwasher and fridge/ freezer; the main bathroom and master en suite have both been refurbished, doors and windows have been replaced and we’ve added an attractive fireplace and log burner in the main lounge. We’ve essentially upgraded the whole house so it’s in excellent condition and looks lovely throughout.”

“Another really nice feature of the property is the garden, which attracts lots of wildlife. It was a real blank canvass when we purchased the house so over time, that too has undergone quite the transformation. We levelled it and added a variety of seating areas, and in 2019 we re-laid the large patio and have enjoyed many evenings out there sat with friends around the fire pit. More recently we added an area for growing our own vegetables – the home-grown potatoes were the best!”

“The main lounge is probably our favourite. It’s a lovely big room overlooking the garden, and when the log burner is roaring away the whole space takes on a really cosy atmosphere.”

“We love living in Winslow. It’s a small town with everything you need: shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes, a hotel, a number of churches… the list goes on. It’s also a very convenient place, and the soon to be completed East West Railway, linking us to Oxford, Cambridge and London, will make it even more desirable to commuters.”

“Both the house and garden are very conducive to entertaining, so much so that over the years we’ve been able to have lots of family birthday and anniversary parties, festive get-togethers and New Year’s Eve celebrations. We also have plenty of parking, which is very handy when guests come to visit.”

“It will be the space and privacy that the house and garden provide, coupled with the proximity of the town’s restaurants, pubs and shops that we’re going to miss most when we leave,” says the owner. “We’ll also be sad to leave our local friends and neighbours.”*
