House For Sale £950,000
First time to the market since its construction 55 years ago, informally known as Applecross this wonderful five-bedroom detached family home with superb gardens, garage, ample driveway parking and annexe occupies a very generous corner plot approaching 0.5 acres (0.2 hectares) in this much favoured Downland village and has been in the same ownership since 1967. The time has finally arrived for a new family to put their own stamp on this superb gem of a property which offers excellent flexible accommodation as is or could be extended to suit (subject to the necessary permissions). With the current owners warmly ensconced in their new residence the property is offered for sale with no onward chain complications and we highly recommend a viewing.
Location
Letcombes Regis & Bassett nestle at the foot of the Berkshire Downs escarpment on Letcombe Brook approx. 1 mile southwest of the Market Town of Wantage. Recorded in The Domesday Book of 1086, Letcombe's name may derive from the Old English Ledecumbe, meaning the lede in the combe - i.e., the brook in the valley. The recent addition of the Richmond Village retirement development, featuring a shop, restaurant, and leisure facilities and the re-opening of the superb Greyhound Public House have enhanced this already thriving local community. With superb access to the surrounding countryside, The Letcombes are pretty English villages with a range of property stock, from period country cottages to executive style family homes, making this one of the area's most desirable locations.

Accommodation
Light and airy throughout with large windows bringing the beautiful gardens in to spacious rooms. Living room featuring working fireplace and a super vista over the gardens at the rear and parking to the front, with dining area just off also featuring a similar view over the rear garden. The kitchen and utility room provide ample space, the kitchen luxuriating in those superb garden views and a great snug/study area overlooking the front. The utility room provides access to both the double garage (featuring electrically operated roller door) and rear lobby which gives egress to the gardens and the side and access to the annexe/home office, or room of requirement. The cloakroom, entrance hall and entrance lobby complete the ground floor. Applecross's ground floor views to the rear are surpassed only by those of the first floor with not just the wonderful gardens, but also the lake of a neighbouring property and paddock land beyond. Indeed, one often sees horses frolicking in the fields. The bedrooms are of generous proportions, all with views and there is a refitted family bathroom and separate WC. The front of the property provides ample driveway parking and turning, well screened by mature borders and hedging with side access on both sides to the magnificent rear gardens which really must be seen to be believed.
NB
Seasonal library pictures have been used to show the wonderful location, superb plot and beautiful gardens off at their best.
