Seller Insight

It was the location of Mill House which first attracted us to the property,” say the current owners, “set down the secluded Mill Lane on the edge of the village, with a sun balcony to the rear from which to enjoy the peace and quiet. The central location makes it ideal for accessing either London or Birmingham in an hour, with Bicester Village only 20 minutes away and Milton Keynes about 30 minutes. You can access the M40 in 20 minutes and the M1 in 45 minutes, too.”

Since moving in two-and-a-half decades ago, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “We have modernised the property over the 25 years we have lived here,” they say. “For example, we added the Solar Panels (with circa 10 years left of FIT), cavity wall insulation and double loft insulation to retain the heat. The windows were replaced in 2012 and we had a new oil tank fitted in 2022. All of the external fascias and cladding are maintenance free UPVC.”

The property comprises spacious accommodation designed to make the most of its fantastic setting. “We like the fact that the majority of the rooms that you use are at the rear of the property, so benefit from the privacy of a non-overlooked garden and south facing aspect,” the owners say. “The separate kitchen allows you to cook without disturbing other people with your music on. Meanwhile, the integral garage is very convenient to access for ‘tinkering’ with motorbikes! The large lounge and dining room make an excellent space for entertaining, with bifold doors providing easy access to the garden.”

Indeed, the gardens serve as an extension of the indoor living and entertaining spaces. “The property features gardens on all sides,” the owners say, “with the main secluded rear garden being south facing, overlooking open fields. On the east side is a greenhouse, while on the west side there is a large patio for al fresco dining. Being a 1970’s house, there is 5-10 m gap between us and both our neighbours. The front drive can easily accommodate 4 cars - plenty of room for guest parking - and has a large secure shed for storage, with light and power.”

The local area has much to offer, too. “Twyford is an extremely friendly village with a vibrant community spirit,” say the owners. “Amenities include an excellent primary school, churches, community shop and cafe and pub. The village has an active calendar of societies and social events including football and cricket teams, music festivals, village fetes, quiz nights, gardening clubs, art clubs, yoga clubs, and amateur dramatics, among others.” *

Outside

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a greenhouse, whilst a large sun terrace to the side is perfect for alfresco dining and there is gated access to the driveway too.

The property also benefits from solar panels which were fitted in 2014 which generate around £750 per year, an integral double garage which has power, light and electric up and over door, in addition to parking to the front for four cars. There is a large secure shed located off the front drive, with light and power.
