A handsome detached home set in the delightful and peaceful hamlet of Woolstone at the foot of the famous White Horse Hill (believed to be the oldest such chalk carving in the land). A gem of a location, little more than 10 minutes in the car to the market towns of Wantage and Faringdon and yet in the heart or rural Downland.
The house offers comfortable and charming accommodation of circa 2442sq ft with a large brick built outbuilding (circa 855sq ft), former stables, at the end of the garden.
The main accommodation includes entrance hall, Cloakroom, 20ft double aspect Sitting Room with an open fireplace, Snug/Office, Family Room, Dining Room with AGA, Laundry, 4 Bedrooms, Study/Bedroom 5, 2 Bathrooms (One is En Suite) and Games Room.
The 'Garage' is more of a very useful store than a genuine garage as just a little short for most modern cars but there is driveway parking for circa 4 cars.
The accommodation is filled with natural light, particularly the splendid combined kitchen and dining room that stretches to almost 30ft in length and looks out onto the garden and the kitchen flows easily into the family room on the front leaving the main sitting room and the Snug/Office as entirely separate reception rooms
Upstairs there are four good bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom in addition to the Study/Bedroom 5 and the Games Room, which is approached by a separate staircase.
The rear garden is completely private and a joy to behold, with the old stables outbuilding running along the northern boundary..
The brick and slate outbuilding (circa 66ft long) is single storey and made up of 5 separate rooms, one with a small mezzanine area. Formerly stables, they might now have a multitude of interesting uses and at the very least, serve as capacious and elegant storage.
Propane Gas Central Heating, Double Glazing and Private Drainage.
Mains Water but also connected to "Woolstone Water" straight from the spring at the base of the hill. Spring water piped straight to your home from the source is a rare luxury afforded to very few.
The village of Woolstone is a sought after and very well regarded location, a pretty village without being too twee or precious, there is life there with the thatched pub at its heart and set at the very foot of White Horse Hill with wonderful countryside walks along The Ridgeway and elsewhere and yet just about a mile and a half from the larger village of Uffington, which has a thriving shop, busy village hall, sports clubs for football, cricket and tennis and the stunning St Mary's Church, known locally as "The Cathedral of the Vale."
This little hamlet is such a special place, so peaceful and so wonderful and needless to say, all the neighbours are wonderful!
