Property description & features

Nestling on the edge of an exclusive private development of similar calibre property this wonderful character family home offers generous accommodation and occupies a lovely plot which measures over half an acre and is enveloped in peace and tranquillity. The attractive Grade II Listed period property is beautifully formed from a former religious retreat and school which was originally St. Michael's House (1885 by William White). With stunning landscaped gardens which lead down to Letcombe Brook, detached double garage which has been converted into workshops and a large utility room, driveway parking and detached brick-built barn which is in need of some repair this is one unique opportunity in an outstanding location. Just a short stroll from the Parish Church of Ss Peter & Paul, Waitrose and the historic Market Place the property is ideal for town living at one of the most salubrious addresses in the magical Market Town of Wantage.

Location
One-time winner of a Great British High Street award and highlighted by The Sunday Times as an often overlooked part of Oxfordshire which will become a boom town, Wantage is superbly situated in the Vale of the White Horse for all the main travel links, with the A338 providing easy access to the A34, M40, M4, plus the rail links in Oxford, Didcot, and Swindon. A picturesque Market Town, with historic ties as far back as Alfred the Great, Wantage has many high street and independent retailers with a plethora of bars, restaurants, and cafes in a thriving community. King Alfred's Academy provides secondary education and is now part of the Vale Academy Trust, working with good primary schools locally, including Charlton and Wantage CofE with Ofsted rated outstanding Stockham Primary School and Wantage Primary Academy completing the educational provision within the Town. With easy access to the beautiful surrounding countryside including the ancient Ridgeway and White Horse Hill, Wantage fuses the semi-urban and rural in one sublime package.
