West Street, Sparsholt, Wantage, Oxfordshire, OX12

Handsome detached village house with wonderful gardens and garaging.

Description

A substantial and imposing detached country home, constructed in 1999 in a traditional style with wonderfully proportioned rooms with high ceilings and large windows. Sitting centrally in its plot, there are gardens to the front and rear and a detached double garage with adjoining studio.
Generous accommodation is offered on the ground floor, with an elegant triple aspect drawing room which leads to both the garden room and the reception hall. The latter gives the impression of space, with a staircase leading up to a galleried landing. There is also a dining room, a sitting room and a fully fitted kitchen with movable central island, with an adjoining utility room.
The first floor offers a sizeable principal bedroom with fitted cupboards and an en suite shower room. Across the landing are three further bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, plus a family bathroom. The fifth bedroom is currently used as a study.

OUTSIDE
Set behind high hedging and approached through wrought iron gates, Foxcombe House is a most attractive country home with a driveway providing generous parking in front of the detached double garage. Adjoining this is a studio which could serve as a home office. There are various stores/sheds offering excellent storage.
The rear garden is beautifully landscaped and stocked with profuse flower borders and a wide variety of shrubs and trees, with various walkways. A sizeable terrace adjacent to the house is the perfect place for relaxing and entertaining.
There is a pretty summerhouse in the garden which endearingly serves as the station for the garden railway which runs around both gardens and would offer hours of endless fun for a railway enthusiasts.
