Johnstones, Goosey, SN7

A pretty and practical 4/5 bed village house with lovely gardens & views over countryside.

Situation.
Goosey is a rather pretty hamlet set around a large green with a small medieval church, midway between the market towns of Wantage and Faringdon. Around 10 minutes drive from either, and with good road links onwards. There are countryside walks from the doorstep and nearby Stanford in the Vale has a Co-op for daily groceries.

Property
Extended and extensively refurbished, this is a flexible family home with character and plenty of practical features.

On the ground floor the front door opens into a neat vestibule with space for muddy boots & kit.

The sitting room is bright, with a wood burner in the fireplace, stripped floorboards and door onto the kitchen/diner/family room. This really is the heart of this home with a slate floor, oak worktops, a smart island/breakfast bar and views over the lovely gardens and the countryside beyond.

Off the kitchen/diner is a practical space covering utility/boot room duties with the newly fitted downstairs shower room, a kitchenette with sink, a large bespoke storage/airing cupboard with space for appliances, coats & more, and an additional room that has been a home office/study, a snug and a guest room. Slate flooring carried through from the kitchen/diner keeps cleaning simple & easy.

On the first floor the master bedroom is a good double with a small fireplace and ensuite bathroom – with a free standing bath. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are good doubles with views over the garden, bedroom 4 is a single/kid’s room. Three of the bedrooms have practical stripped floorboards.

The family bathroom has a walk-in shower with a rainfall head and attractive blue tiling.

Outside.
A gravelled driveway to the front has space to park at least 3 normal sized cars.

The back garden is more than 100ft long, backing onto countryside. Largely laid to lawn, it has mature hedging to the boundaries, pear and apple trees, a smart patio adjacent the house, a gravelled stand for garden furniture and a patch of decking perfect for a chair overlooking the fields.
