Externally, to the rear of the property, is a lovely landscaped rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with borders and views across the countryside to the rear. The patio area sweeps the width of the property and has a secluded, covered area in which to sit and relax away from the sun.

From the garden, you can access the large storage area which also links through to the carport. The carport can also be accessed from the front of the home and has two double electric power sockets. The development also offers ample additional visitors spaces.

In addition, the property boasts a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery system (MVHR) which extracts air from contamination areas (kitchen/bathroom etc.) and supplies fresh air to living areas, reducing draughts within the home.

The tenure is freehold and the property is connected to LPG gas, electricity, water and septic tank drainage. Constructed by Neptune Group the current owner has enjoyed living here from new in 2023 which leaves circa 8 years remaining on the global home guarantee. There is an annual estate management fee of £1,168 per annum (payable quarterly).

East Challow is on the edge of Wantage, which is a lovely small market town in the Vale of White Horse with a good range of shops and services. Links with the past are very strong too - it is notable as the birthplace of King Alfred the Great in 849.

The town lies about 8 miles (13 km) south-west of Abingdon and a similar distance west of Didcot and is at the crossing of the B4507 valley road, the A417 road between Reading and Cirencester and the A338 road between Hungerford (and junction 14 of the M4 motorway) and Oxford. There are main line railway services from Didcot Parkway.

There is one state secondary school in Wantage, King Alfred's Academy, and some ten primary schools. There are also several independent schools in Abingdon, Oxford and nearby villages.

Wantage has a fine reputation for the arts – music, dances and poetry – and this is celebrated each year with an Arts Festival during the summer. John Betjeman lived in The Mead, Wantage (by Letcombe Brook) for many years and wrote poetry about Wantage. Thomas Hardy’s “Jude the Obscure” was set in nearby Letcombe Bassett where “Arabella’s Cottage” can still be seen.
