4 bed detached house for sale

Bay Tree Cottage, Great Coxwell, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7

This impressive and immaculately presented family home has been extended by the current owners to create a sociable, open plan family living area. The property is surrounded by unincumbered views of fields and National Trust land, perfect for watching the sun rise and set.
Upon entering you are welcomed into an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor, the downstairs is fitted with under floor heating to keep your toes nice and toasty. On the right is a dual aspect sitting room, flooded with natural light and centred around a log burner for the colder evenings. Double doors then lead through to the open plan kitchen/dining/family room, with westerly views out across the garden and neighbouring paddocks to the rear, which is an extension of the original cottage. The kitchen is fitted with a range of shaker style, wall and base units as well as integrated neff appliances, separating the space is a breakfast bar with seating and further storage. At the far side of the room is a box bay with patio doors, the perfect spot to having your morning coffee while taking in the views. From the kitchen you also have access into the utility and downstairs cloakroom, the perfect area for hanging coats and leaving muddy wellies.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, the main bedroom boasting wonderful high ceilings, exposed beams and further views over the fields, as well as an en-suite bathroom. Two of the other double bedrooms also benefit from a range of built in storage and serviced by the family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite.
Externally the property shows off its real selling point; the wrap around garden offers far reaching views and allows you to follow the sun throughout the day, while also offering complete privacy. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with cleft chestnut fencing and a Laurel hedge along the southwest boundary. At the front of the property is driveway parking for multiple cars as well as a double garage. Although private and quiet in your location, a footpath just down the road can take you into the closest town at just under 2 miles. You also have a loop walk through the village itself, as well as out towards theTithe Barn and the local bluebell woods at Badbury clump.

Great Coxwell is a small cul-de-sac village about two miles south west of Faringdon, just off the A420 Oxford to Swindon road.

There is a small 12th century church of St Giles and on the northerly edge of the village is Great Coxwell Barn which was completed in the middle of the 13th century. It is the finest surviving medieval barn in the country. The National Trust owns much of the surrounding farmland as well as this magnificent barn. The Reading Room is situated in the heart of the village and is the venue for village functions and summer teas.

The historic market town of Faringdon 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 and doctors' and dentists' surgeries. School buses serve the independent schools in Abingdon. Nearby are both St Hugh's and Pinewood preparatory schools. The town has three large supermarkets (Aldi, Tesco and Waitrose). A community minibus service into town is available for villagers during the week.

Faringdon is ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40, M4 and M5 and mainline railway services from Swindon, Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Didcot Parkway. Stagecoach operate a frequent bus service (S6) through the town from Swindon to Oxford and back, via the Defence Academy at Shrivenham, linking to rail services and airports.
