5 bed detached house for sale

Friars Close, Shrivenham, Oxfordshire SN6

An exceptionally spacious family home situated on one of the most desirable cul-de-sac roads in Shrivenham. 7 Friars Close is positioned on a large plot and offers bright and flexible accommodation, five double bedrooms and ample parking. The current owners have lived in the property since it was built in 1988, and this is a superb and rare opportunity for the next custodian to take on the most wonderful family home and really put their own stamp on it.

Upon entering you are greeted by a large hallway with sweeping staircase, downstairs cloakroom, a coat cupboard, and access to the integral double garage. The sitting room is at the rear with French doors opening to the garden and a central gas fireplace. There is a separate dining room positioned next to a well-appointed kitchen / breakfast room. This is fitted with a wide range of floor and wall mounted units, and integrated appliances include an oven, microwave, hob, dishwasher, and freezer. From here sits a large utility room with further access to the garden. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a study which is currently being utilized as a snug / playroom.

On the first floor the gallery landing provides enough space for a small table / reading chair, and four of the five double bedrooms benefit from in-built wardrobes. The guest bedroom has an en-suite shower room whilst the master bedroom is a fantastic size with a walk-through dressing area and large en-suite with a bath and separate shower cubicle. All other bedrooms are serviced by a sizable family bathroom.

Outside the sense of space continues with driveway parking for many vehicles in front of the integral double garage. Side access leads around to the rear garden which is laid predominantly to lawn with a patio area, vegetable bed and mature shrubs and trees.

A home not to be missed.

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, with a thriving community. The village is located circa 5 miles north-east of Swindon and circa 5 miles 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. In addition to the Memorial Hall on the corner of Highworth Road and newly built primary school and pre-school in Raven Way, there is a lovely tree-lined high street with shops, restaurants, public houses, a doctors’ surgery, chemist, Methodist church and parish church. There is a frequent bus service through the village from Swindon to Oxford and back, linking to rail services and airports.
