4 bed detached house for sale

Folly View Crescent, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7

A truly fantastic family home situated in a small cul-de-sac of similar properties. This deceptively spacious property offers flexible and versatile living arrangements and a large private garden.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a porch leading to the hall which offers ample room for storage, bike or prams and has stairs to the first floor. At the front of the home are two large and bright double bedrooms, each featuring an attractive bay window. These could also be utilised as further reception rooms if required. A further double bedroom sits centrally in the property and all three are serviced by a family bathroom with a separate cloakroom. To the rear, this property has been dramatically extended to create an exceptional kitchen/dining/family room - the heart of the home. The kitchen has a range of floor and wall mounted units and is well stocked with Shaker-style cupboards and a large Rangemaster-style oven. There is plenty of room for a good-sized dining table before wrapping around to the sitting room. This is a great entertaining space and features a central fireplace and two sets of French doors out to the garden. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a separate utility room.

On the first floor are two further bedrooms and a shower room.

Outside, to the front, is gravelled driveway parking for several vehicles in front of a detached single garage. Gated access leads to the rear garden which is a superb size, completely private and laid predominantly to lawn with mature hedging, gravelled seating areas and raised decking.

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, The Elms and Folly View primary schools as well as The Old Station Nursery, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries and a Family Centre. Buses travel from the town to private schools at Abingdon. The town now boasts three large supermarkets.

Faringdon is also ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40 and M4 and mainline railway services from Swindon, Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Didcot Parkway. There is a frequent bus service through the town from Swindon to Oxford and back, linking to rail services and airports.

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.
