A beautifully presented, character apartment set in the heart of Faringdon, set over two floors.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms or a large double and an additional reception room, both with built in storage and sash windows. There is also the family bathroom on this floor with a modern white suite, and further storage cupboards.
On the second floor is a magnificent kitchen with a range of wall and base units, a built-in fridge/freezer, double oven, dishwasher and induction hobs, as well as space and plumbing for both a washing machine and a tumble drier. Lastly, there is the large living/dining room, with a log burner and dual aspect windows flooding the room with natural light.
Externally, the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces at the rear and access to the communal stairway.
The historic market town of Faringdon, dating back at least to the 12th century, has a thriving community and amenities such as the Leisure Centre, Library, Faringdon Community College, The Elms and Folly View primary schools, as well as The Old Station Nursery, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries. Buses travel from the town to private schools at Abingdon. The town now boasts three large supermarkets.
Faringdon is also ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40 and M4 and mainline railway services from Swindon, Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Didcot Parkway. There is a frequent bus service through the town from Swindon to Oxford and back, linking to rail services and airports.
The Tower on Folly Hill was built by Lord Berners in 1935 and affords panoramic views across four counties. For over 20 years, the town has been twinned with Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe in France and from 2022 with Königstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
