Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac on the highly sought-after Nursery View this exceptional five-bedroom family home offers generous and versatile accommodation, stunning views towards Folly Tower on one side and the Ridgeway on the other, and is presented in true turnkey condition.

Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall provides access to the cloakroom and staircase leading to the first floor.

A central gas fireplace creates a warm focal point, making it an ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining.

The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which benefits from a useful storage cupboard and leads through to both the garden room and kitchen. Added by the current owners, the garden room provides a tranquil retreat overlooking the garden – the perfect place to unwind with a good book or enjoy the surrounding wildlife.

Recently refitted, the stylish kitchen features a comprehensive range of wall and base units, complemented by a built-in double oven, induction hob, extractor fan, and space for a dishwasher and American-style fridge freezer. The adjoining utility room offers additional practicality and provides access to both the side passage and the extended double garage. Completing the ground floor is a versatile study, which could equally serve as a playroom, home office, or snug.

The first floor hosts four generously proportioned double bedrooms and a separate dressing room. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a dedicated dressing area and a modern en-suite shower room. A second large bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes and its own en-suite. The remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom fitted with a stylish white suite.

Occupying the second floor is a spacious fifth bedroom, currently utilised as a home office, alongside a separate craft room and storage space. Both rooms enjoy elevated views towards the Ridgeway and Folly Tower through Velux windows. A substantial landing area between the rooms provides an additional versatile space, ideal as a reading nook or study area.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped rear garden offers an exceptional degree of privacy and is thoughtfully planted with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. Backing onto Folly Hill and a woodland backdrop, the garden provides a peaceful setting for outdoor living. A summerhouse occupies one corner, while a sunny patio seating area enjoys the afternoon and evening sunshine.

To the front, the property benefits from an extended double garage with electric up-and-over doors, power and lighting, as well as ample driveway parking. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn and further benefits from an EV charging point, solar panels, and a 10kW battery storage system, enhancing the home's energy efficiency credentials.

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 and The Place Family Centre. 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 more recently with Konigstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
