Lechlade Road, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7

A truly charming period cottage situated on the edge of Faringdon and within easy walking distance of the town centre. This home offers off-road parking, an enclosed walled garden and has a wonderful feel throughout.

Upon entering, you are greeted by the kitchen which has a range of floor and wall mounted units and space for integrated appliances. The sitting room has several storage cupboards and is spacious and bright, being dual aspect, with wooden floors and French doors out to the garden. There is a large bathroom on the ground floor and from here sits a recently extended study/bedroom three with a lovely exposed stone wall and further French doors to the garden.

On the first floor are two bedrooms, both with fitted cupboards, with the master benefiting from a W.C.

Outside the garden is south-facing and incredibly private. This is laid predominantly to lawn with a patio area, shrub borders and gated access to the street. There is also off-road designated parking for one vehicle.

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. 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 from 2022 with Königstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
