Kirtlington needs little introducton locally! It is, simply, one of the most popular villages in North Oxfordshire. There are many reasons, ranging from the great local primary school, shop/ PO, high quality pubs, immensely easy commuting, lovely walks etc. But for many the community with its all-inclusive ethos, sense of vibrancy and spirit makes it the sort of place people rarely want to leave.

2 Pound Close has been in the same ownership for many years, well maintained throughout with constant refreshing and updating. Typical of the type, it has great light in most rooms and all are well proportioned. The house sits in a pleasant plot within a development of just a few houses adjacent to Mill Lane, which runs down to the old quarry (an extremely popular picnic and walking venue with families) and Jane's Tea Room. Sat on the edge of North Green it is literally a few minutes' walk from all that Kirtlington has to offer.

The front doors opens into a welcoming inner porch. This is sectioned off from the hall with full-height glazed panels either side of a glazed door, allowing all the light through but not the draughts, To the right there are both a cloak room/ WC and a cloak cupboard, and opposite there are a number of hooks for coats etc. Entering the main hall, the stairs rise ahead, and from the half landing above a window floods light down, making this a bright space. On the right, the kitchen is well presented with a wide range of attractive modern units running round three sides. There is space here for a breakfast table, and off to the rear, next to the back door, is a cupboard containing the boiler and providing extra storage. The whole is pleasant and light, with a peaceful view across the close. Next door, the dining room is currently used as a study. Double doors open onto a pretty garden, and there is also a side window, ensuring this room, too is light and airy. NB there is scope, subject to planning, to remove the wall between the kitchen and dining room, which would provide a wonderful kitchen/ dining space in the order of 22 feet deep and around 18 feet wide. Opposite the dining room, the sitting room is a wonderful place to be. Double doors to the rear, plus windows to the side and front, ensure this is a very positive and bright room in almost any weather. The dimensions lend themselves exceptionally well to housing a large living room suite, with ample space to spare for a dining table if desired. The fireplace is also fitted with a wood burning stove, a very attractive and cozy feature.

Upstairs, the landing is surprisingly broad, with an airing cupboard which contains a modern pressurised hot water tank. All four bedrooms are doubles, with three containing particularly generous store cupboards that negate the need for much other furniture. The master includes an en-suite that is modern and also roomy, with a shower over the bath and tiling throughout. In addition, the family bathroom is characterful with panelling round the lower walls and a chequerboard tiling pattern around the bath, above which is a shower fitting and glass screen. From the landing, there is access to the loft via ladder through a hatch, this loft runs the whole length of the house and provides significant storage space with full head height to stand - it may offer scope to convert and provide further accommodation, subject to checks and planning.

The outside space is also really appealing. The house sits in a neat plot with a lawn to the front and a variety of pretty plants forming an informal border running round two sides. The pretty garden is enclosed by a stone wall, ensuring it is safe and secure for children and animals, and it is mainly lawned with a pond to the right side and a terrace running behind the house. Various plants and shrubs make this a mature and attractive space, ideal for family and entertaining alike, and a gate to the right hand side provides easy access to the parking. A double garage forms half of the block of just four garages, with a pitched room overhead that is boarded out and reached via a wooden staircase, and power is fitted complete with separate fuse box. Outside the garage there is ample space for several cars.
