5 bed detached house for sale

Baulking, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7

Located in the highly sought after village of Baulking, this property has been greatly improved and is not to be missed.

Stepping in through the front door and into the porch, there is a dedicated area to keep coats and shoes neatly organised. Continue in through the internal front door and on your right is the first reception room, currently used as a snug with an original open fireplace. On your right is another reception room, centred around a log burner. This has been used as a dining room, but the downstairs space offers great flexibility and could have many uses. This flows into the internal hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor. This hall provides access into the utility room which has space and plumbing for white goods as well as a stable door to the side of the house.

Along the internal hallway is a cloakroom and storage cupboard as well as a further reception room currently used as a living room, with dual aspect views. At the back of the house, in the extension, is a substantial kitchen/dining room, separated nicely by a large island. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units as well as an integrated dishwasher and aga oven that provides heating. This room accommodates a big table and has bi-fold doors out to the garden, creating a wonderful indoor/outdoor dining experience.

To the first floor are five double bedrooms, many of which have built-in wardrobes and retaining character features such as exposed brick walls and feature fireplaces. There are also three bathrooms: One large family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite and two further separate shower rooms, the perfect house for a large family who want to avoid queues for the bathroom in the morning! Completing the upstairs accommodation is a separate office, useful for when you need to work from home.

Externally, the house is set on a large plot, with a patio section closest to the house and the remaining space laid to lawn, offering amazing privacy and surrounded by mature shrubs and trees. With two gated access points to the front, you also have ample parking and overlook the local green at the front.

Baulking is a small village approximately six miles by road south-east of Faringdon. It has a Grade I listed parish church, St Nicholas. The village is arranged along a large, elongated village green running north to south, bounded on two sides by a bend in the river.

There are small grocery shops and primary schools in the nearby villages of Uffington and Stanford in the Vale, and Baulking lies approximately half way between the larger market towns of Faringdon and Wantage which offer greater amenities and schooling opportunities, such as Faringdon Community College and King Alfred's Academy.

The Ridgeway and famous White Horse Hill are not far away and offer wonderful opportunities for country walks.
