A substantial semi-detached family home situated in the heart of Watchfield. The property boasts flexible accommodation arranged over three floors and situated on a generous plot.

The ground floor comprises an entrance porch that opens into the spacious entrance hallway, which has a cloakroom and storage cupboard. The dual-aspect living room is set at the front of the house with the kitchen breakfast room at the rear. The kitchen has been re-fitted with a good range of units and has ample space for a dining table with French doors out to the garden. A rear lobby links the kitchen to the utility room which was formerly a shower room and could be converted back if needed. The lobby also provides access to the snug/dining room which previously had its own private access and formed part of an annexe bedroom.

On the first floor, there are four good size bedrooms with the master further benefitting also from an en-suite shower room. There is a large family bathroom with both storage and airing cupboards.

A converted loft completes the property with two rooms currently being used as a double bedroom and playroom.

Externally, the property has ample gravel driveway parking to the front which can take up to five vehicles. The side gate provides access to the front door and to the rear garden. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area. A rear gate leads out to the Watchfield Recreation Ground, which is a handy place to walk the dog or for the children to go out and play.

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, village primary school and an impressive church, parts of which date back to the 11th Century. There is also 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.
