Pound Field Road, Aston, Bampton, Oxfordshire, OX18

Built in the past two years, this fabulous five bedroom detached family home sits neatly at the end of a cul de sac of similar properties.

The deceptive accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall with stairs leading to the galleried landing and doors off to the living accommodation, cloakroom, garage and storage cupboards. To the front of the home, a handy study/playroom overlooks the front garden and driveway. Adjacent to this is the spacious sitting room featuring a fireplace with inset electric fire and French doors which lead out to the gorgeous rear garden. The 24’ kitchen/dining/family room is a great family/entertaining room with French doors leading out to the rear garden. The kitchen has a range of matching base and wall units with a central island and various integrated appliances including double oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is ample space for both a dining table and seating area. A good sized utility room sits next to the kitchen and benefits from additional fitted units, providing further storage along with space for a washing machine. There is also a door leading out to the side of the property.

On the first floor, there is an impressive master bedroom which is fitted with a range of double wardrobes and benefits from an en suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms, all of which are double in size, with the second largest also benefiting from an en suite shower room. The additional bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom, which includes a bath and separate shower cubicle.

Externally, there is driveway parking to the front leading to the larger than average double garage which benefits from two up-and-over doors to the front with a personal door at the rear and fitted storage. The enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a lovely patio area and well planted and landscaped borders which provide both privacy and year round interest. The summer house has power connected, making it a lovely hideaway.

Aston lies just outside the larger village of Bampton, on the edge of the Cotswolds, and offers a primary school, Church of England and Methodist churches, a public house, The Red Lion, a recreation field with playground and the well-known Aston Pottery which has a superb café.

Bampton is one of the oldest and prettiest villages in the area. While it retains much of the character of the traditional Cotswold village, it is also a hive of activity with a multitude of events taking place throughout the year - with something for everyone. It has a post office, library, a sports ground and pavilion, an art gallery, two churches, a primary school, a medical centre and of course a market square.

The village is well known as one of the film sets for Downton Abbey and as the background to the popular crime novels by Melvin Starr featuring the mediaeval surgeon, Hugh de Singleton.
