Set back from the road hidden behind conifers, this is the perfect home for first time buyers or a small family.
Through the archway and in through the front door, you come into the large kitchen/dining room, with ample storage cupboards and dual aspect views over the front and back garden. This leads through to the back door and a utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, as well as a downstairs cloakroom. There is also a further fourth bedroom/office, perfect for anyone working from home, with views over the side garden. The newly redecorated living room is incredibly cosy, with dual aspect views and a log burner in the centre of the room.
To the first floor are two large double rooms at the front of the house, both with built in storage, and a third bedroom which is a great sized single overlooking the rear garden. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom with a white suite.
Externally the garden wraps around the house with raised beds and a patio section with a pergola, to the rear is tandem driveway parking for two cars and a further rear garden filled with mature trees and shrubs.
The village of Uffington lies on the edge of the Vale of the White Horse, just north of the Berkshire Downs. Overlooking the village is the famous White Horse, a marvellous chalk figure which was cut into the hillside 3,000 years ago. The village has a fine church, known as the Cathedral of the Vale, and an excellent museum, shop and Post Office, pre-school, primary school, traditional public house, community hall and sports ground as well as a host of community clubs and organisations. Further information on village activities can be found on the village website
More comprehensive facilities are available at the nearby towns of Wantage (c. 7 miles); Faringdon (7.5 miles); Didcot to the east (c.15.4 miles), which has a mainline train service to London Paddington (c. 45 minutes); Abingdon (c.15.2 miles); Oxford (M40) (c. 20 miles); and Swindon (M4) (c. 12.4 miles).
Uffington has literary connections too. John Betjeman, Poet Laureate, lived in the village and Thomas Hughes, author of Tom Brown’s Schooldays, was born at Uffington Vicarage. Several of Hughes’ books are based on local people and places; the museum is actually housed in the school featured in his most famous work.
