Substantial and handsome detached house with wonderful gardens and detached garaging/studio. Located in a picturesque setting with popular village pub.
Description
A substantial and imposing detached country home, constructed in 1999 in a traditional style with wonderfully proportioned rooms with high ceilings and large windows. Sitting centrally in its plot, there are gardens to the front and rear and a detached double garage with adjoining studio.
Generous accommodation is offered on the ground floor, with an elegant triple aspect drawing room which leads to both the garden room and the reception hall. The latter gives the impression of space, with a staircase leading up to a galleried landing. There is also a dining room, a sitting room and a fully fitted kitchen with movable central island, with an adjoining utility room.
The first floor offers a sizeable principal bedroom with fitted cupboards and an en suite shower room. Across the landing are three further bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, plus a family bathroom. The fifth bedroom is currently used as a study.
GARDENS
Set behind high hedging and approached through wrought iron gates, Foxcombe House is a most attractive country home with wonderful wrap-around grounds. The rear garden is beautifully landscaped and stocked with well stocked profuse flower borders and a wide variety of shrubs and trees, interspersed with various walkways. A sizeable terrace adjacent to the house is the perfect place for relaxing and entertaining.
OUTBUILDINGS
The house is approached via a generous driveway which provides parking in front of the detached double garage for numerous vehicles. Adjoining the garage is a studio which could serve as a home office. There are also various stores/sheds offering excellent storage as well as a pretty summerhouse in the rear garden.
Location
The property is enviably located in the heart of the pretty village of Sparsholt. The village boasts a parish church and the recently renovated popular Star Inn, associated with the renowned Woodspeen restaurant close to Newbury. The market towns of Faringdon (9 miles) and Wantage (3 miles) offer a range of amenities, with more extensive amenities further afield in Oxford (17 miles), Newbury (20 miles) and Swindon (19 miles).
Set amidst glorious countryside, the surrounding area offers endless walking, cycling and riding opportunities. Newbury, Oxford and Didcot provide mainline rail services, with the latter offering fast trains from Didcot Parkway to London in under 40 minutes with a direct connection to the Elizabeth Line for cross city travel.
The area offers a wide range of schools including Pinewood School, St. Hugh’s, The Manor Prep School, St Helen and St Katherine, Abingdon School, in addition to those in Oxford.
