Marlborough Gardens, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7

A deceptively spacious family home that has been extended in previous years to create very flexible living accommodation. The property looks out over a green and has a potential annex on the ground floor enabling perfect multi-generational living.

Entering the porch, you are led through to an inner hall with stairs to the first floor. The sitting room has a working log burning stove and doors opening into a sunroom / dining room and out to the garden. The kitchen / breakfast room is fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units and provides access to the annex area. This is currently set up as a guest room with a separate modern shower room.

On the first floor are two large double bedrooms and a bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle. On the 2nd floor are two further double bedrooms.

Outside there is driveway parking for three vehicles. The rear garden is enclosed and laid predominantly to patio with numerous fruit trees, a large greenhouse, shed and decking, summer house and workshop with power and electric.

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 The Place 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 more recently with Konigstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
