The Folly, Arkell Avenue, Carterton, OX18 3BS

A truly unique and highly versatile family home offering almost 2,700 sq ft of accommodation, including a substantial self-contained annex, extensive outbuildings and exceptional parking, ideally positioned close to Carterton town centre, local schools and everyday amenities.

Occupying a generous plot, the property combines convenience with an abundance of internal and external space.

A practical entrance porch provides space for coats and shoes before leading into the main house.

The ground floor offers exceptional versatility with three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room installed in 2011.

The remaining ground floor bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests, hobbies or home working.

At the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen, replaced in recent years and fitted with a range cooker, integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher, all of which will remain.

A breakfast bar creates a natural connection to the dining area, where patio doors open onto a sheltered seating area, perfect for entertaining and outdoor dining.

The impressive living room extends to over 20 feet in length and enjoys direct access to the rear garden via patio doors.

A spacious utility room, family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower, and an additional cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor hosts two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from useful eaves storage created within a previous loft conversion. Externally, the property continues to impress.

The generous rear garden offers a fantastic space for families, gardeners and outdoor entertaining.

Features include a large powered shed, a substantial summer house, greenhouse and a large polytunnel.

Although north-facing, the sheer size of the garden ensures plenty of usable outdoor space throughout the day.

A particular highlight is the fully self-contained annex above and behind the garage, created in 2007.

With its own gas boiler, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, and a spacious open-plan bedroom/living area above, it offers superb accommodation for relatives, older children, guests or potential rental opportunities.

The property has also recently benefited from significant investment, including brand-new double-glazed windows throughout, new fascias and a full exterior repaint, creating a smart and low-maintenance finish.

To the front, there is extensive off-road parking for approximately eight to ten vehicles, making this an ideal home for larger families, business owners or those requiring space for multiple vehicles.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally flexible home with outstanding ancillary accommodation, extensive parking and a wealth of lifestyle opportunities.
