House For Sale £500,000
Situated in the popular village of Watchfield on the edge of a development recently constructed by Barratt Homes, this large detached property offers really spacious accommodation throughout, creating a wonderful family home.
The property is entered into through an entrance hall with a cloakroom. Stairs rise to the first floor with some cleverly fitted under-stairs storage cupboards and a separate cupboard. The living room is of double aspect, with a bay window to the front and French doors to the rear garden and there is a separate dining room to the front which also offers a bay window. Towards the rear of the property is the kitchen/breakfast room which is built to a higher specification than others in this area and offers a range of wall and floor mounted units under granite worktops and some built-in appliances including a dishwasher, double oven, fridge, freezer and gas five-ring hob. There is plenty of room for a table and a sunny aspect on to the garden. Off the kitchen lies a utility room – very useful for a growing family – and this also offers access to the rear garden.
On the first floor, the master bedroom offers three fitted wardrobes as well as a full en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom also offers built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. On this floor there is another double bedroom, which is currently being used as a study, with a fitted cupboard, desk and bookshelves, and a family bathroom with a white suite.
On the second floor, there are two further double bedrooms, with innovative storage under the eaves and a large storage cupboard in the smaller bedroom, as well as a separate shower room.
Outside, the property offers a double garage with eaves storage and off road parking for two cars to the front. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with a range of shrubs. To the rear is a very good-sized garden, larger than average for this development, and enclosed by panelled fencing. The garden has been landscaped, with numerous trees planted, and the patio has been extended to the whole width of the house, inclusive of an ideal space for a garden shed.<br /><br />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, village primary school and an impressive church, parts of which date back to the 11th Century. There is also 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.
