High Street, Hinton Waldrist, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7

An exceptional detached barn conversion believed to be approximately 200 years old and situated in the heart of Hinton Waldrist. This property is brimming with character and offers wonderful private gardens both to the front and rear, ample driveway parking, and superb entertaining space.

Upon entering the floodlit hall, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming area with a downstairs cloakroom and enough room for a desk and chair under the wrap-around staircase. The sitting room sits to the rear and is very bright, being dual aspect, with a large stone fireplace as a central feature and working log-burning stove. This sits open plan to the dining room which offers sliding doors out to the patio. The kitchen/diner is fitted with an array of Shaker-style base units and plenty of room for a breakfast table. There are many integrated appliances such as a double oven, hob, and dishwasher. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a boot room and a utility/boiler room, offering fantastic storage.

On the first floor, all four bedrooms offer fitted wardrobes and three of the bedrooms have superb views to the rear over open countryside towards the Downs. The master bedroom is truly superb, spanning over 18ft in length, with lots of wardrobe space and a modern en suite shower room. All other bedrooms are serviced by a recently renovated family bathroom.

Outside is where the home really comes to life. The property is reached via a long, gravelled driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles in front of a detached double garage and a carport. Side access leads through to a small patio garden with stunning views behind. This in turn opens to a much larger and completely private lawned garden which runs behind the neighbouring houses and features a small orchard at one end.
