St Gabriel's, Wantage

Substantial five-bedroom detached family home set along a quiet cul-de-sac in this superb location just a short walk from the historic Market Place. Originally built by Messrs Berkeley Homes to an exacting specification and much improved since, we strongly recommend a viewing to fully appreciate the quality and location. Spacious entrance hall with an impressive staircase, featuring an understairs cupboard and double-opening glazed doors to the dual-aspect dining room. Fantastic living room featuring engineered oak floor, a light and airy atrium (which has electrically operated blinds) and a coal-effect gas fire in a Portuguese limestone surround. The kitchen units are by Nobilia, a leading German brand, with stone worktops and matching upstands. With built-in appliances including Bosch stainless steel electric oven and ceramic hob and built-in fridge/freezer and dishwasher, the original kitchen has a tiled floor with underfloor heating and a fully regularised glazed extension, by Everest, with blue-tinted, self-cleaning roof. To the front of the property, there is a large study with Amtico flooring and the ground floor accommodation is finished off with a cloakroom and separate utility room, with door to the side. The atrium floods light onto the spacious first-floor landing through the glazed (toughened glass) divide and the property has three double bedrooms, on this floor, two with ensuite facilities. The master bedroom offers a walk-through dressing area leading to its ensuite which features both bath and shower. The second bedroom features its own built-in double wardrobe with ensuite shower. The third bedroom is still a generous double bedroom and we still have one floor to go… The top floor could be a teenager's paradise with two double bedrooms (each with plenty of storage space) and a family bathroom which, like all the other bathrooms, is superbly appointed with Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware, Hansgrohe taps, Amtico flooring, attractive ceramic tiling and heated towel rails. The family bathroom also features a walk-in shower and separate bath, with wash hand basin and concealed flush WC. The property offers an attached double carport to the front for parking (with built-in storage units) and landscaped areas to the front and side. There is a handy side gate leading to the secluded rear gardens which feature a westerly aspect and are small but beautifully formed with well-stocked shrub and herbaceous borders.
