A substantial family home situated in the heart of the popular village of Watchfield, moments away from the church, primary school and village hall. This period property offers spacious accommodation and wonderful and expansive garden.
The accommodation comprises a large kitchen/diner spanning over 33ft in length which is fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units and ample space for a dining table. The sitting room is also a great size and features a log burning stove and original bread oven (which is currently blocked up). Completing the downstairs accommodation is a bright sunroom with sliding doors into the garden and a downstairs cloakroom.
On the first floor are four double bedrooms, all serviced by a family bathroom with separate shower cubicle.
Outside, the grounds are impressive, with a gravel drive leading to the front door, offering off-road parking for several vehicles. The garden area is well established with lawns, mature hedges, well stocked flower borders, fruit trees, ponds and a well. There is also a seating area under a wooden pergola.
A fantastic family home offering huge scope and potential.
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.
