Garford, Abingdon, OX13

Impressive five bedroom Victorian former school, originally built in 1873, cleverly converted into a delightful family home, offering very flexible modern day living, combined with a wealth of character features, double garage and large, attractive gardens, situated and a semi-rural location, surrounded by open countryside.

The accommodation begins with an inviting entrance hall, leading to a versatile study, ideal for those working from home. A delightful separate living room features attractive oak flooring and a striking central fireplace with an inset cast iron wood-burning stove, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. The heart of the home is the spacious and highly flexible kitchen/family/dining room, designed to suit family living and entertaining, complemented by a practical walk-in utility room/pantry.

On the first floor, the principal double bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobe cupboards together with extensive fitted storage and is complemented by an adjoining shower room.There are four further bedrooms, one of which could easily serve as an additional study or home office if required. These rooms are served by a spacious family bathroom, fitted with a white suite including an attractive roll-top bath. The majority of the first floor rooms offer attractive open countryside views.

Further benefits include oil-fired radiator central heating (with a recently replaced oil tank), a pressurised hot water system, attractive stone mullion windows incorporating double glazing, and a recently installed private sewage treatment plant.

Outside, the front of the property provides off-road parking for approximately three vehicles and leads to a substantial double garage with light, power, and two electronically operated up-and-over doors. Occupying an attractive corner plot, the generous rear and side gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and lead onto a large, sunny patio, providing an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. The gardens are enclosed by mature trees, established shrubs and fencing, affording an excellent degree of privacy.

The property is positioned in a semi-rural location towards the edge of Garford village. The nearby village of Marcham offers many amenities including good schooling and there is also a short drive to nearby Millets Centre offering a farm shop, craft gallery and garden centre and prestigious Frilford Heath three course golf club.
