4 bed bungalow for sale

Oak Road, Watchfield, Swindon, Oxfordshire SN6

A truly wonderful home that offers exceptionally bright, spacious, and flexible accommodation throughout. 4 Oak Road was built in the 1950’s and has never been on the open market. Positioned in its own secluded and mature grounds this property has recently been painted throughout whilst still offering the next custodian the opportunity to add their own stamp if required. A rare opportunity to purchase a chain free, fabulous home in a charming location.

Upon entering you are greeted by a large and welcoming hall with ample storage and stairs to the first floor. This room has been utilized as a dining room over the years and provides access to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a wide range of floor and wall mounted units, several appliances, and has access outside to the side of the home. There are two large reception rooms, both with feature fireplaces and the more formal drawing room boasts a dual aspect, large bay window, and exposed wooden beams. The sense of space is in abundance throughout, and the ground floor has two large double bedrooms, one of which benefits from fitted wardrobes whilst the other has a large en-suite bathroom. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a garden room, the most idyllic place for reading and a family shower room.

On the first floor are two further double bedrooms, both with inbuilt wardrobe space, a large en-suite shower room and access to an expansive loft area with scope for further development (subject to necessary planning permissions).

Outside the garden wraps around the property and is believed to be approximately a 1⁄4 of an acre. There is driveway parking in front of a single garage with a workshop / utility room at the back. The rear garden is beautiful. The well tendered lawn is surrounded by mature shrubs and borders with a stream running at the end of the garden. To the front a small path leads across the lawn to a wonderful Fig Tree framing the door.

Offered to the market with no onward chain.

Watchfield has a charming village centre with a church, village hall and public house, and a small shopping centre with a public house and a restaurant near the roundabout with the A420. The Defence Academy of the United Kingdom provides post-graduate level education for UK and overseas military personnel. Many students and staff live in the village and play an active part in community life. The excellent village primary school has children from several different countries, which makes for an interesting learning environment.

Together, Watchfield and Shrivenham make one of the larger village areas within the Vale of the White Horse and are located to the north east of Swindon (circa 5 miles) and to the south west of the market town of Faringdon (circa 5 miles). A bypass built in 1984 ensures that the rural atmosphere of both villages is preserved. Shrivenham also has an extremely active community. There is a lovely tree-lined high street with shops, restaurants, public houses, a doctors’ surgery, and Methodist and Church of England churches. There is also a newly built primary school with nursery, and a golf course.

Both villages are ideally located for access to the M4 at Swindon and the A420 leading to Oxford and beyond. There is a frequent bus service from Swindon to Oxford and back.
