Inside, the accommodation is well laid out and practical. The entrance hallway leads to a bright kitchen with ample worktop space, and a spacious sitting/dining room that opens into the conservatory, creating a light and versatile living area. A downstairs cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, with the main bedroom benefitting from a fitted wardrobe and large storage cupboard, along with a recently refurbished bathroom.

Outside, the property sits in a quiet cul-de-sac setting. The sunny rear garden is south facing and mainly laid to lawn making it easy to maintain and enjoy. The rear garden also benefits from convenient gated side access, providing easy entry for gardening or outdoor storage.

The home is leasehold and connected to mains electricity, water, and drainage. Heating is provided via electric storage heaters. This property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

The property has a full market value of £240,000, with a 40% share available to purchase at £96,000. A monthly rent of £386.20 is payable on the remaining share, along with a service charge of £16.50 per month. Staircasing is restricted to a maximum of 80% ownership, and the lease has approximately 70 years remaining.

The pretty village of Uffington lies on the edge of the Vale of the White Horse, just north of the Berkshire Downs and has a number of historical connections. Overlooking the village is the chalk White Horse, which was cut into the hillside some 3,000 years ago. The village boasts its own museum, Uffington Museum which was formerly known as the Tom Brown's School Museum - the author having been born in Uffington Vicarage - and the Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman also having lived in the village. Uffington has a majestic church regarded as the Cathedral of the Vale, a well-equipped village store with Post Office, a popular primary school and pre-school, together with a lovely traditional public house, village hall, community sports ground and a host of community organisations.

The village has good road links to Oxford (15 miles) and Swindon (11 miles) via the A420, with more local facilities and secondary schools available in the nearby market towns of Faringdon (6 miles) and Wantage (7 miles). Major rail links to London and the west are available from Swindon, Didcot and Oxford. The village is well positioned for a number of excellent independent schools such as St Hugh’s and Pinewood Prep schools, as well as Abingdon School, Our Ladies and St Helens & St Katharine’s, all of which are in Abingdon (15 miles).
