4 bed detached house for sale

Queens Close, Watchfield, Swindon, Oxfordshire SN6

A detached family home built only 8 years ago on the outskirts of the village of Watchfield. With fantastic road links to Swindon and Oxford, this property benefits from a private, South facing garden and the garage has been converted to create great additional reception area, work from home office or a play room.

The accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall with cloakroom and a coat cupboard. To one side of the hall is a bright, dual aspect living room with French doors out to the garden, on the other side is the kitchen / diner. This is fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units, a breakfast bar, and many integrated appliances such as double oven, gas hob and dishwasher. A separate utility room leads through to the converted garage which would be the ideal space for a guest annex, playroom, or teenage den alike with an en-suite wet room.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which benefit from in-built wardrobes. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and the internal accommodation is completed by the family bathroom.

Outside this house has ample off-road parking and gated side access through to the rear garden. This is exceptionally private and laid predominantly to lawn with flower boarders and a shed with power.

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 and an impressive church, parts of which date back to the 11th Century. The new primary school is located off Highworth Road. 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.
