The refurbished accommodation includes a spacious entrance hall giving access to the sitting room which has a fireplace and is dual aspect. Beyond this is a refitted family kitchen with an extensive range of floor and wall mounted units and including a gas cooker point, an integral fridge/freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. To the rear of the property is a dining room with exposed wooden flooring. Linking this to the kitchen is a rear hallway with cloakroom off and door opening to the second parking area. There is a further room on this floor, which currently provides a good sized double bedroom.



On the first floor is a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a second double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a smaller bedroom with window to the side. Also on this level is a superb family bathroom which has recently been refitted with a modern contemporary white suite including panel bath with cascade shower over, heated towel rail, two wash hand basins with cupboards under and WC. This room also benefits from under floor heating.



A particular feature of this property is the lower ground floor which offers significant further potential, being fully lined and radiator heating to most rooms.

A corridor links two additional rooms and a characterful snug with ornate open fireplace and stairs rising to the ground floor entrance hall.

Attached to the rear of The Mill House is 'The Stable', providing a generous storage facility, or alternately an office space or workshop, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.



The property benefits from UPVC replacement double-glazing throughout with a gas heating system to radiators, and all mains services are understood to be connected. The tenure is assumed to be Freehold and the property is not thought to be listed.



 

AMENITIES 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, Junior and Infant schools as well as Ferndale Preparatory School and The Old Station Nursery, two doctors' surgeries and a Family Centre. 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. The town is served by the Stagecoach 66 bus which runs a half-hourly service through much of the day from Swindon to Oxford and back.
