Gloucester Street, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7

Brimming with unmistakably Georgian features such as tall sash windows, recently rendered front and stained-glass windows surrounding the side door.
Stepping inside and into the hallway, where you will find stairs rising to the first floor and a downstairs cloakroom. Heading down the hallway to the original front door, where the living room is on the right, a wonderful size at 21ft, dual aspect with traditional wooden shutters on the sash windows and centred around an open fireplace. Across the hallway is the formal dining room, in here you can picture the Christmas and family gatherings you would host, with a further open fireplace and the perfect spot for a Christmas tree. At the back of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen has been recently re designed and is in keeping with the character feel, with a range master and Belfast sink, as well as space for a table. The flooring in here and the living room has been replaced with flagstone tiles, that match up perfectly with the original flooring in the hallway. From the kitchen you also have access into the cellar, currently utilized as storage and access out into the boot room/garden room, the perfect suntrap to grown tomatoes as well as neatly storing muddy boots and coats.
Heading up the stairs onto the first floor and straight ahead, you have what is currently used as the library, with a beautifully crafted wooden bookcase and window seat, this makes the perfect cozy space to withdraw to, if required this could be used as the fifth bedroom, with ample built in storage. There is a further double bedroom on this floor, serviced by the large family bathroom fitted with a separate bath and shower cubicle as well as built in storage for linens. On the second floor are three further double bedrooms all incredible sizes, boasting the same character sash windows as the rest of the house. There is also a further bathroom on this floor fitted with a stylish but in keeping white suite.
A pull-down ladder also provides access to the loft room, currently used as a loft/storage space but could be converted into a useable room if required.
Externally the south facing garden is a perfect suntrap and offers incredible privacy creating a tranquil sanctuary. A side gate leads out to two parking spaces, with an electric charging point. If you required a larger garden this could be extended into to leave one space.

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.
