Oak Road, Watchfield, Swindon, Oxfordshire, SN6 8TD

A truly wonderful family home situated on a very quiet road in the popular village of Watchfield.

This property has been extended to create a superb entertaining space and boasts ample driveway parking and an extensive garden.

Upon entering you are greeted by a welcoming hall with stairs to the first floor and a cloakroom.

At the front of the house is an office/playroom, next a separate sitting room centred around a log burner for the colder evenings.

To the rear is a fabulous open plan kitchen / dining room/ family room with a glass lantern ceiling and bi fold doors out to the garden.

The kitchen area has an array of floor and wall mounted units with a range of integrated appliances as well as a large island. Off the kitchen is a separate utility room.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms with the master bedroom benefitting from an en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom completes the internal accommodation.

Outside to the front of the home is a large driveway with parking for several vehicles in front of an integral garage. Side access takes you through to the rear garden which is spectacular.

This has been landscaped and laid predominantly to lawn with a fabulous patio area (ideal for alfresco dining) and surrounded by mature trees and borders.

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.
