4 bed detached house for sale

Great Coxwell, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7

A truly exceptional home that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The original part of Olde Willows was constructed in 1965 using reclaimed stone from an old local barn. Since then, this wonderful property has been extensively extended to the most superb standard and transformed into the spacious unique property that stands now. Situated towards the edge of the village, it is perfectly positioned for access to the surrounding countryside with long walks on your doorstep.

Upon entering, you are greeted to the most bright and spacious reception hall with a sweeping wooden staircase to the first floor. The vaulted ceiling and exposed beams create an instant talking point. Light floods into what is currently used as a snug/family area from a large picture window affording expansive views over countryside to the Downs beyond.

At the front of the home is a dual aspect study/further reception room, a good-sized double bedroom and modern wet room. To the rear is a large sitting room which is also dual aspect with parquet flooring and features a new central woodburning stove and French doors to the garden. The kitchen/diner offers an impressive entertaining and family space with the kitchen sitting beautifully under a glass roof lantern. This is fitted with an array of Shaker style floor and wall mounted units, marble work surfaces and a large central island. There are many integrated appliances such as a full-length fridge and freezer, dishwasher, water softener, chilled tap and Rangemaster cooker with a corner larder cupboard. No stone has been left unturned, with an electric blind incorporated in the roof to cover the lantern on sunnier days, and bifold doors out to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room.

On the first floor, the master bedroom is fitted with a range of wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are serviced by a new family bathroom / wet room with lowered bath and walk in shower. There is a small balcony overlooking the reception hall and family room below.

Outside, the property is accessed via electric gates. The driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles in front of a detached double garage with power, light, and plumbing. The gardens surround the property with the front and rear gardens predominantly laid to lawn surrounded by mature raised beds and vegetable planters. There is an extended patio area and a raised decked area with a summer house (also fitted with power and light). The garden is exceptionally tranquil and private and numerous seating areas provide the perfect space to soak up the summer rays.

This incredible home offers in excess of 3000 sq ft of accommodation including outbuildings, with a flexible arrangement of accommodation over two floors. It further benefits from underfloor heating to the majority of the ground floor and an effective solar panel system. A property not to be missed.

Great Coxwell is a small cul-de-sac village about two miles south west of Faringdon, just off the A420 Oxford to Swindon road.

There is a small 12th century church of St Giles and on the northerly edge of the village is Great Coxwell Barn which was completed in the middle of the 13th century. It is the finest surviving medieval barn in the country. The National Trust owns much of the surrounding farmland as well as this magnificent barn. The Reading Room is situated in the heart of the village and is the venue for village functions and summer teas.

The historic market town of Faringdon 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 and doctors' and dentists' surgeries. School buses serve the independent schools in Abingdon. Nearby are both St Hugh's and Pinewood preparatory schools. The town has three large supermarkets (Aldi, Tesco and Waitrose). A community minibus service into town is available for villagers during the week.

Faringdon is ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40, M4 and M5 and mainline railway services from Swindon, Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Didcot Parkway.
