Spanning the rear of the house, the kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, with plenty of space for a family dining table and French doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream shaker-style units, complemented by pale worktops, a built-in double oven and a gas hob with an extractor above. A separate utility room provides further storage, an additional sink and access to the side.

Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms lead off the central landing. The main bedroom benefits from built-in storage and an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. A landing cupboard provides further storage.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with planted borders and a patio adjoining the house, providing space for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is also a timber shed and gated side access.

Completing the property is a single garage with power and lighting, together with driveway parking for two cars parked one behind the other.

The historic market town of Faringdon, dating back at least to the 12th century, has a thriving community and amenities such as the Leisure Centre, Library, Faringdon Community College, The Elms and Folly View primary schools as well as The Old Station Nursery, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries and The Place Family Centre. Buses travel from the town to private schools at Abingdon. The town now boasts three large supermarkets.

Faringdon is also ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40 and M4 and mainline railway services from Swindon, Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Didcot Parkway. There is a frequent bus service through the town from Swindon to Oxford and back, linking to rail services and airports.

The Tower on Folly Hill was built by Lord Berners in 1935 and affords panoramic views across four counties. For over 20 years, the town has been twinned with Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe in France and more recently with Konigstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
