A character mid-terrace Victorian cottage, situated in a unique position close to the centre of the town and yet quietly tucked away in a traffic-free environment.
The accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading into the sitting room with brick built fireplace (chimney currently blocked off as fire not in use) and window looking out to the cottage gardens. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor mounted units with space and plumbing for white goods, wooden staircase leads to the first floor.
On the first floor is a double bedroom and a bathroom comprising a panelled bath, WC, wash hand basin and there is plumbing and space for a washing machine. A further staircase rises to the second floor to a spacious bedroom with eaves storage and Velux windows.
Outside, to the rear is a shared walkway and a large brick built shed. To the front is an extensive large and private garden for number 10. Separated into assorted sections this would be a gardener’s dream, with a summer house to sit in and enjoy the space. This property would benefit from renovation.

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 and doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries. 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 Konigstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
