Property description
AMENITIES Shrivenham is one of the larger villages within the Vale of the White Horse and without question one of the most desirable in the area. The village is located circa five miles to the north east of Swindon and circa five miles to the south west of the market town of Faringdon. The village is ideally located for access to the M4 (8 minutes away) and the A420 leading to Oxford and beyond. The village itself has an extremely active community, and a bypass built in 1984 ensures that Shrivenham's rural atmosphere is preserved. There is a lovely tree-lined high street with shops, a bank, public houses, a doctors' surgery, chemist and restaurant, village primary school and an impressive Church, which has parts dating back to the 11th Century. There are a number of excellent schools within the area, including Pinewood and St Hugh's Preparatory Schools.
FOOTPATH N.B. The footpath to the side of the house is owned by Wellingtons.

Outside, the electric gates provide the property with a high degree of privacy and give access to a gravelled sweeping driveway, providing plenty of off-road parking and leading to the new garage block. This comprises a double garage with adjacent kennel and two useful storage rooms. The accommodation above the garage has planning permission for a work-from-home office and benefits from a shower room, a reception room with kitchen facilities and a further room which could be used as an occasional bedroom. The gardens are private and mature, measuring circa 0.53 of an acre.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a really outstanding and superior home within the heart of the village, with the added advantage of there being no onward chain.
