Silver Street, Bourton, Swindon, Oxfordshire, SN6

Located at the end of a quiet no-through road in Bourton, Home Farm House offers a wealth of space and far reaching views for those looking for a quiet countryside retreat.

As you step through the front door, you are immediately welcomed into a light filled entrance hall with an impressive vaulted ceiling and an Oak staircase to the first floor. There are doors leading into the cloakroom and office, an ideal space for those working from home. A set of double glass doors open into the dining room which is the perfect space for entertaining, with a modern wood burner for cosy winter evenings, and French doors into the garden which bring the outside in during the summer months.

To the left of the dining room is a door that leads you through into an impressive kitchen that provides space for a breakfast table next to a stunning stained-glass window. The kitchen itself is fitted with a variety of storage solutions and built in appliances including a microwave, multi-oven, main oven, steam oven, coffee machine, bottle fridge and dishwasher. The central island houses an induction hob and bespoke wok ring along with further storage below. There is space for a free standing fridge/freezer. The kitchen is finished with reconstituted stone worktops, a natural stone floor and a window above the sink with views across open fields. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room with further storage and space for white goods, with a further door leading outside.

The conservatory offers a wonderful view of the garden and is the perfect space to relax and unwind. Here you will find water well which supplies the majority of the water to the house. Another set of glass doors flow seamlessly into the impressive dual aspect sitting room where bifold doors open out into the spacious wraparound garden.

Upstairs, you’ll find an impressive master suite which is flooded with light from the triple bi-folding doors that open to a good size balcony which is the perfect spot to enjoy the morning sun. This space also provides access to a good size dressing room, built in cupboards that house a kitchenette and a generous ensuite bathroom with air jet bath.
Three further double bedrooms complete the first floor accommodation, each benefitting from their own ensuite bathrooms.

Externally, the property benefits from a large gravel driveway that skirts around an impressive magnolia tree in the centre. This leads to a detached double garage with adjoining workshop and further log stores beyond. The gardens of circa 0.5 acre, are well laid out around a central focal point of a large fish pond. A variety of shrubs, plants and specimen trees provide year round interest and the summer house and greenhouse provide further storage. The garden is framed by a stone built wall and is neighboured by local community land, with beautiful views across the Vale of the White Horse beyond.

Home Farm House has been thoughtfully extended and modernised by the current owners, reusing and repurposing as much original material as possible. With a ground source heat pump and underfloor heating, there is the perfect blend of twenty first century living with a cosy character feel.

The village of Bourton is picturesquely situated in the Vale of the White Horse and on the western boundary of Oxfordshire and yet within easy reach of Swindon and the M4 as well as Oxford and the A34/M40 via the A420. There is a co-educational preparatory school, Pinewood School, in the former Bourton House and a village hall in the former Baptist church. St James’ parish church is part of a single Church of England benefice with six neighbouring churches.

Nearby Shrivenham is one of the larger villages within the Vale of the White Horse and is located to the north-east of Swindon (circa 5 miles) and to the south-west of the market town of Faringdon (circa 5 miles). The village itself has an extremely active community. There is a lovely tree-lined high street with shops, a post office, public houses, a doctors’ surgery, and Church of England and Methodist churches. There is a newly built primary school and nursery, and also a golf course.
