Set on a generous non-estate plot in the sought-after conservation village of Warmington, Crosswinds is a detached three-bedroom home with scope for cosmetic and structural updating. The house offers spacious family accommodation across two storeys, including a sitting room with a wood-burning stove, extended dining/family room with conservatory, kitchen, utility and ground-floor WC. The rear garden tapers to natural greenery and provides pleasant outlooks and easy access to the village centre.
The property dates from around 1970 and retains mid-20th-century features such as wood panelling and a stone fireplace, giving character but also signalling the need for modernisation. The home benefits from an integrated garage, generous driveway parking and oil-fired central heating; however, the boiler and fuel type should be considered by buyers preferring mains gas or lower-cost alternatives. Partial double glazing and cavity walls (assumed uninsulated) mean there is potential to improve energy efficiency.
Crosswinds will suit a family seeking village life close to Banbury, good local schools and accessible transport links (M40 and Banbury rail). It is offered chain free, simplifying purchase for buyers who want to renovate and personalise. Note practical considerations: one bathroom, slow broadband in the area, above-average council tax band and the need for updating throughout, which should be factored into budgets.
For purchasers wanting character, outdoor space and scope to add value, this is a rare plot in a desirable village setting. The layout and size provide clear opportunities to reconfigure, modernise services, and improve insulation and glazing to suit a contemporary family lifestyle.
