5 bedroom detached house for sale

Stepping in through the front door, and into the entrance hall, here you have stairs rising to the first floor and cloakroom. On the left is the dual aspect living room, with beautiful views over the front garden and patio doors out to the rear. There is also a gas fireplace in the centre of the room. This then flows round to the dining room, which has a storage cupboard and opens out to the garden room and kitchen. The garden room is an extension added by the current owners and is the perfect spot to watch the birds or read a good book. The kitchen was recently re-fitted and includes a range of wall and base units. There is also space and plumbing for a dishwasher and double fridge/freezer, built-in double oven, induction hobs and extractor fan. This flows round to the utility room, with doors into an extended double garage and the side passage. Also at the front of the house is a study/playroom.

To the first floor are four double bedrooms and a separate dressing room. The main bedroom on this floor is an incredible size, benefitting from a dressing area and en suite. The next largest bedroom also has an en suite and built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor, fitted with a modern white suite.

On the second floor is a large bedroom/office and a craft room/storage room. These rooms are fitted with Velux windows with views to the Ridgeway and Folly Tower. Between the two rooms is a great size landing, another great spot to read a book.

Externally, the rear garden is extremely private and beautifully planted with a range of trees and shrubs. The garden overlooks Folly Hill and a bank of trees. There is a summerhouse in one corner and a patio with table and chairs in the other to enjoy the afternoon/evening sun. Side access takes you round to the front, where there is an extended double garage with electric up and over doors, as well as power and light. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with ample driveway parking to one side. There is also an EV charging point, solar panels and 10kw battery.

The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

The historic market town of Faringdon, dating back at least to the 12th century, has a thriving community and amenities such as the Leisure Centre, Library, Faringdon Community College, The Elms and Folly View primary schools as well as The Old Station Nursery, doctors' and dentists' surgeries and The Place Family Centre. Buses travel from the town to private schools at Abingdon. The town now boasts three large supermarkets.

Faringdon is also ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40 and M4 and mainline railway services from Swindon, Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Didcot Parkway. There is a frequent bus service through the town from Swindon to Oxford and back, linking to rail services and airports.

The Tower on Folly Hill was built by Lord Berners in 1935 and affords panoramic views across four counties. For over 20 years, the town has been twinned with Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe in France and more recently with Konigstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
