Property description
THE PROPERTY Originally constructed in the 1950s, the property comprises a mature and well presented detached bungalow located in a prime residential area of the town. The present owners have refurbished the property and have planning permission to extend creating a first floor. This would provide four bedrooms, the master bedroom with a dressing room and en suite facilities and a family bathroom. The planning permission can be viewed on the Vale of the White Horse District website at www.whitehorsedc.gov.uk/planning. The reference number is GFA/12319/1.27.5.10
NB. The creation of a new kitchen ensures that the planning permission will not expire as the work has begun.
The property has recently benefited from a brand new family kitchen/dining room which has been extensively fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units under granite worktops including a spacious breakfast bar with storage beneath and pop up electric panels. The kitchen includes a dual fuel cooking range with extractor over and a walk in larder cupboard with a marble shelf. There is a one and a half bowl sink unit with an integral dishwasher, built in fridge and freezer. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room with a new gas fired boiler, stainless steel sink unit and plumbing for a washing machine. Beyond this is the rear porch which has doors to the front and rear gardens, two large storage cupboards, space for a tumble dryer and a boot room with fitted cupboard.
The sitting room has a lovely parquet floor which extends into the entrance hall and a fireplace with a wood burning stove. Beyond this are two double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes and a bathroom fitted with a white suite.
Outside to the front of the property is driveway parking for several vehicles and a pedestrian gate leading to the rear garden. Attached to the side and rear of the property is a useful outbuilding which is currently used by the present owners for storage. The rear garden is a delight. This has been attractively landscaped and very well stocked with a large variety of plants and includes a lawn, patio and garden pond.
The property benefits from UPVC replacement double glazing with a gas heating system to radiators. Many of the rooms enjoy beautifully refurbished wood block flooring and the property is believed to have all mains services connected.
Early internal viewing of this versatile home is highly recommended.
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.
