The ground floor is centred around an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, measuring over 24ft in length. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, while the generous living and dining area provides plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining, with French doors opening directly onto the garden. A useful downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs are two good-sized double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom overlooking the rear, alongside a family bathroom.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a useful timber shed and gated access. The property also benefits from driveway parking.

Located within the popular village of Watchfield, the property is well placed for local amenities and offers convenient access to neighbouring Shrivenham, Faringdon and Swindon, making it an excellent option for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors.

Watchfield has a charming village centre with a church, village hall and public house, and a small shopping centre with a public house and a restaurant near the roundabout with the A420. The Defence Academy of the United Kingdom provides post-graduate level education for UK and overseas military personnel. Many students and staff live in the village and play an active part in community life. The excellent village primary school has children from several different countries, which makes for an interesting learning environment.

Together, Watchfield and Shrivenham make one of the larger village areas within the Vale of the White Horse and are located to the north east of Swindon (circa 5 miles) and to the south west of the market town of Faringdon (circa 5 miles). A bypass built in 1984 ensures that the rural atmosphere of both villages is preserved. Shrivenham also has an extremely active community. There is a lovely tree-lined high street with shops, restaurants, public houses, a doctors’ surgery, and Methodist and Church of England churches. There is also a newly built primary school with nursery, and a golf course.

Both villages are ideally located for access to the M4 at Swindon and the A420 leading to Oxford and beyond. There is a frequent bus service from Swindon to Oxford and back.
