Location
Unique opportunity in the heart of a vibrant town.
7 Market Street is a historic and unique property located in the heart of the charming town of Chipping Norton. Dating back to the 17th century and originally a basket makers, this Grade II listed home is positioned on a surprisingly generous plot. Having been cherished and sensitively maintained by the same family for nearly fifty years, there is now a fantastic opportunity to enhance and restore this remarkable family home. Whilst there is a wealth of period features to be enjoyed throughout, it also has the perfect foundation to be turned into modern, comfortable living too.
The entrance hall is inviting and leads through the ground floor. The dining room is light and a generous size making it perfect for entertaining. The sitting room is charming and cosy with impressive inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove. Characterful features can be seen throughout both rooms including exposed beams and stonework, windows seats and original window shutters. The kitchen is delightful and in need of modernising. There is a Rangemaster, plenty of storage/ work space, separate utility area and a charming window seat overlooking the garden. An ideal spot to appreciate the view with a morning coffee in the hub of the home. In addition and at the rear of the property, a downstairs cloakroom, garden room, cellar areas and office can be utilised and renovated, offering further potential.
Upstairs comprises four double bedrooms. The two bedrooms on the first floor are generous and light and have built in storage, along with two family bathrooms/ shower rooms in need of updating. The two bedrooms on the second floor are also spacious and have vaulted ceiling with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.
Outside is quite the surprise. Originally the old builders yard, the garden is now utterly delightful providing an enviable, enclosed oasis. Mostly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature trees, hedges and bushes, flowers beds, vegetable patches, pathways and patio areas, there is such variety to be appreciated. Perfect for alfresco dining and socialising in the summer sun. Not only does it offer a wonderful outside space, there is also an outbuilding with WC, summerhouse, a stone barn with lapsed planning permission, a double garage, driveway and off road parking. This provides such an exciting opportunity for further development.
