Marlborough Street, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7

Located within the heart of the town and yet tucked away in truly private location with lovely walled and sunny gardens - one of Faringdon’s hidden gems.

The property is incredibly spacious and characterful with flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. The current owners have redecorated throughout to create a stunning and tranquil home.

Upon entering, you a welcomed by a wonderful kitchen / dining / family room with an attractive central island unit and Belfast sink. There is plenty of storage with a walk-in larder cupboard and a separate utility room with access to the garden. From here sits a cosy snug which could also be utilised as an office and this leads on to a beautiful sitting room with vaulted ceilings, wood burning stove and French doors to the garden.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, one of which has large built-in storage and a further single bedroom. These are all serviced by a modern and spacious bathroom with separate shower cubicle. There is further accommodation which is attached to the property (although accessed through the garden) which is set up as a gym.

The gardens are a real feature of the cottage, having been professionally landscaped to include a wide variety of trees, shrubs, plants, and different garden ‘rooms’, there are several attractive seating areas and a summer house.

The property benefits from all main services being connected, double glazing throughout and the tenure is assumed to be freehold.

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, Junior and Infant schools as well as The Old Station Nursery, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries and a 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 in 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
