Coxwell Road, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7 7EZ

This beautiful five bedroom detached family home comes to the market for the first time in 27 years. ‘Greystones’ combines the character features of a period house with modern architecture to unique effect. This ‘house of two halves’ really must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Accommodation includes five double bedrooms, five spacious reception rooms, four bathrooms, enclosed rear garden, and off-road parking.

The front of the house dates from 1879. Constructed mainly from local stone, it retains period features such as Victorian fireplaces, quarry tiled floors and original sash windows.

The rear of the house (not visible from the road) is an architect designed modernist extension which has created further light-filled living space. This includes a family/dining room with full height glass across its width and doors opening onto the sunny back garden, perfect for family life or entertaining.

The old and new parts of the ground floor connect and flow seamlessly creating flexible and adaptable accommodation. Two of the reception rooms have wood burners. There is a downstairs shower room, a utility/WC and a spacious boot room/rear lobby.

Upstairs there is a generous light-filled landing and five double bedrooms two of which are ensuite. There is also a family bathroom.

The master bedroom is part of the modern extension. It has a vaulted ceiling and ample wardrobe space. A large picture window overlooks the garden and gives a view over rooftops to hills in the distance.

Outside, the architect’s vision is continued in the layout of the back garden with a statement curved wall and multiple seating/dining areas designed to follow the sun (or shade). There is also a pretty, Victorian outbuilding.

The property is freehold and is connected to mains gas, electricity, water and drainage. There is gas central heating throughout and underfloor heating to the extended area on the ground floor. There are 14 discreetly installed solar panels which significantly reduce energy/running costs.

‘Greystones’ is offered for sale without an onward chain. Please contact the agent to arrange a viewing.
