The living/dining room is an impressive 21ft long with wooden floors and has a built-in storage cupboard under the stairs.

At the rear of the property is the kitchen, renovated to a high standard and fitted with a range of wall and base units as well as space and plumbing for white goods, with views over the garden and a side door.

To the first floor are two double bedrooms, the largest of which has a storage cupboard. There is an additional storage cupboard on the landing. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, recently renovated and now fitted with modern black fixtures.

Externally, the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with space for a shed, as well as a gate into Eagles.

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. 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 from 2022 with Königstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
