4 bed detached house for sale

Waylands, Uffington, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7

This fantastic family home is situated in a small, quiet, cul-de-sac of similar houses in the heart of the popular village of Uffington.

Entering the porch, you are led through to a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room. Light beams in from windows on three sides with a rear door into the garden. There is a range of fitted floor and wall mounted units with integrated appliances such as oven, gas hob and a dishwasher. The dining area is separated from the kitchen by a breakfast bar, offering a wonderful place for entertaining. The living room is also of a good size and benefits from a log burning stove and French doors out to the garden. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a useful cloakroom.

On the first floor are four bedrooms with the master bedroom featuring an en-suite shower room and walk in storage cupboard. Bedroom two offers a very large walk-in wardrobe which could be changed into another en-suite bathroom as we have been informed that plumbing is already in place. Two further single bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom.

Outside, there is off-road parking for several vehicles in front of a single detached garage. The garden wraps around the side and rear of the property and is exceptionally private, being laid predominantly to lawn with a greenhouse, gravelled areas, and a charming pergola.

The village of Uffington lies on the edge of the Vale of the White Horse, just north of the Berkshire Downs. Overlooking the village is the famous White Horse, a marvellous chalk figure which was cut into the hillside 3,000 years ago. The village has a fine church, known as the Cathedral of the Vale, and an excellent museum, shop and Post Office, pre-school, primary school, traditional public house, community hall and sports ground as well as a host of community clubs and organisations. Further information on village activities can be found on the village website

More comprehensive facilities are available at the nearby towns of Wantage (c. 7 miles); Faringdon (7.5 miles); Didcot to the east (c.15.4 miles), which has a mainline train service to London Paddington (c. 45 minutes); Abingdon (c.15.2 miles); Oxford (M40) (c. 20 miles); and Swindon (M4) (c. 12.4 miles).

Uffington has literary connections too. John Betjeman, Poet Laureate, lived in the village and Thomas Hughes, author of Tom Brown’s Schooldays, was born at Uffington Vicarage. Several of Hughes’ books are based on local people and places; the museum is actually housed in the school featured in his most famous work.
