Set in an off-road position, this beautifully presented detached home has been extended by the current owners and offers spacious and flexible accommodation. It also benefits from having a self-contained ground floor annexe. This space could work perfectly for multi-generational living, Air BnB, or workshop.

The main house includes a hallway with an understairs cupboard and cloakroom. The sitting room is to the rear of the property and has bi-fold doors opening to the patio area and garden. There is a separate dining room and further reception room which is currently used as an office but could be used as a bedroom or playroom if required.

Also on the ground floor is the re-fitted kitchen/dining room which has been fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units in addition to an integrated dishwasher, oven, microwave combi-oven, five-ring gas hob and space for a large fridge freezer. This opens to the breakfast/dining area which has a velux-style window to the ceiling and bi-fold doors opening to a courtyard area. Leading from the dining area is a utility room, which links the main accommodation and the annexe and has fitted units, a stainless steel sink and space for a washing machine, tumble-dryer and fridge freezer.

The annexe/workshop space can either be accessed from the utility room off the kitchen, or through its own front door which leads directly into the bedroom/sitting room. A hallway then links through to a fitted kitchen and impressively finished wet room. Adjacent to the sitting room of the annexe is a garage, which is currently used for storage but has the potential to be knocked through to provide additional accommodation for the annexe, subject to obtaining the necessary consent. Both the annexe and breakfast area benefit from underfloor heating.

To the first floor of the house is a master bedroom which has inbuilt wardrobes and re-fitted en suite shower room, benefitting from a power shower. There are three further good sized bedrooms all with inbuilt wardrobes and a re-fitted family bathroom, again with a power shower.

Externally, to the front, is a block-paved driveway providing ample parking for several cars and a side pedestrian gate giving access to the rear garden. The back garden is a delight, laid with lawn surrounded by lush beds with a tropical theme including trees and many different kinds of abundant plants providing year-round interest. There is a patio under a pretty pergola draped in wisteria and a further decked area providing an outside relaxing and dining area. To the side of the property is a further secluded patio which has a sauna room and space for a jacuzzi. A hedge-lined area adjacent to the annexe has been landscaped to provide a further area of lawn, a large store shed and a greenhouse.

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, Junior and Infant schools as well as The Old Station Nursery, doctors' and dentists' surgeries and a 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 M?le-sur-Sarthe in France and in 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
