Baulking, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7

Manor Farm is a rare find for families who want space and style, with the flexibility of an additional annex and outbuildings, while still retaining the charm and interest of a character home.

Stepping in through the front door and into the porch where you have a dedicated area that keeps coats and shoes neatly organised, this flows into the hallway with stairs to the first floor. At the front of the property is the living room, flooded with natural light from the three windows overlooking the green and centred around a log burner, the perfect spot to cozy up in the evenings. At the rear is the kitchen/dining room spanning a wonderful 24ft, the kitchen has a range of base units, pantry cupboard and ample space for a large dining table, perfect for entertaining. From here you have access to the utility room, downstairs cloakroom and a further reception room which could become a playroom or office.
Heading up the stairs to the first floor you have four double bedrooms, all with built in storage, the largest bedroom benefiting from a whole wall of wardrobes. The main family bathroom has been recently renovated and fitted with a modern white suite, down the far end of the landing is a further shower room with sage green panelling adding some character to the space. Additionally, there are two lofts the main part offering additional storage and a window, subject to planning permission one could even explore converting this much like the house next door.
Stepping out of the side door and onto the gravelled driveway where you have ample parking behind the boundary gates, this then leads up to a separate annex. A wonderful addition offering endless flexibility, fully renovated you step into the main reception room, open plan with a fully fitted kitchen. There is also a shower room with a modern white suite, additional storage cupboard and at the back of the annex is a double bedroom. Heading back into the main garden, where you will find a patio area closest to the house, the garden spans as far as the eye can see, mainly laid to lawn with a variety of outbuilding and a summer house. The garden is every gardener’s dream, southwest facing with mature trees, including a beautifully apple blossom in bloom. The garden continues down and backs onto the local farmers fields with horses grazing.
To the front of the house is a further green perfect for kids to safely play and enjoy.

Baulking is a small village approximately 3.5 miles south east of Faringdon. It has a Grade 1 listed parish church, St Nicholas. The village is arranged along a large, elongated village green running north to south, bounded on two sides by a bend in the river.

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.
