About
A fantastic opportunity to acquire this highly desirable four double bedroom period home, occupying a substantial and secluded plot just off Shrivenham High Street.
Tucked away behind a row of period homes and accessed from the High Street, the property enjoys an enviable central village position while offering an exceptional degree of privacy.
Beautifully blending period charm with generous family living, the home boasts four versatile reception rooms, three bathrooms, a double garage and an abundance of character features throughout.
Offered to the market with no onward chain and for the first time in around 100 years, this is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a home of such history and provenance.
Subject to the necessary planning permissions, the substantial plot also offers excellent potential for extension or further development.
Originally two cottages, this charming home has been thoughtfully combined and extended to create a spacious and characterful family residence.
The ground floor comprises an entrance porch, a generous sitting/dining room centred around a feature wood-burning stove, a well-appointed kitchen with ample worktop space, a bright and airy family room, a cosy snug with built-in storage, a study, and a contemporary shower room.
The property also benefits from a large utility room and a separate store, providing excellent practical space.
The first floor is arranged across two landings and offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which feature fitted wardrobes.
Two family bathrooms serve the first floor, providing flexible and practical accommodation ideally suited to modern family living.
Externally, the property occupies an extensive and secluded plot, offering a high degree of privacy despite its central village location.
Approached via a private driveway from the High Street, the property provides ample off-road parking and benefits from a double garage, storage sheds and mature gardens.
The double garage would benefit from some updating and repair, including attention to the roof, but offers valuable storage and parking potential.
The generous grounds provide an idyllic setting for family life and outdoor entertaining, while the size and configuration of the plot present exciting opportunities for extension or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The property is offered freehold and is connected to mains gas, electricity, water and drainage. Heating is provided via a gas-fired central heating system.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, generous accommodation, secluded setting and exceptional potential this unique home has to offer.
