A fabulous extended semi-detached home situated on the outskirts of Faringdon yet within close proximity to the town centre, supermarkets and doctors' surgery. This property has been in the family for nearly 40 years and benefits from a stunning modern kitchen and a summer house in the garden with a secure workshop.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a hall leading through to the sitting room.

An archway takes you through to the dining room with a bespoke display cabinet, corner unit and sliding doors into the garden. From here sits the kitchen which is truly wonderful with a range of sleek, modern floor and wall-mounted units, quartz work surfaces, and a tiled floor.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, a family bathroom with a rain shower over the bath, and a separate W/C.

Outside, to the front of the home, is driveway parking for several vehicles in front of an integrated single garage. Gated access leads down the side of the property to the rear garden. This has a sunny patio area, lawn with shrub borders and a newly-built workshop and summer house at the end with power and electricity. A home not to be missed.<br /><br />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, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries and a Family Centre. 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 in 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
