Stepping in through the front door and into the hallway, you find stairs rising to the first floor, a cloakroom and a storage cupboard. From here, you have access to all the downstairs rooms. At the front is the kitchen, recently re-tiled, with a range of wall and base units that include integrated white goods: gas hobs, oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine. At the back of the house is the living/dining room with a further storage cupboard and patio doors out onto the garden.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles. The largest bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite.
Externally the garden is a great size, with two patio sections - one closest to the house and one in the top corner. The rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs to add interest. The garden is full enclosed and provides access into the single garage, fitted with power and light as well as additional storage in the loft. In front of the garage is driveway parking and an EV charger.
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.
