Property description
THE PROPERTY Chowle Cottage comprises a four bedroom detached period home situated in a rural position close to the edge of Faringdon adjacent to the A420. The property has recently been refurbished by the present owner and offers further scope for development as there is a current planning permission to convert one of the outbuildings into a one bedroom annexe. Adjacent to this is storeroom and large double garage/workshop. The property boasts plenty of off road parking and has large gardens to the side and rear which back onto the nine hole Faringdon Golf Course.
The cottage can be entered from the front or rear. There is a useful entrance porch leading into a sitting room which is divided into two separate seating areas by way of a central fireplace. Beyond this is a substantial fitted kitchen with built in dishwasher, double oven and hob. Beyond this is an inner hall giving access to a cloakroom, and a large study/family room. There is a covered porch giving access into the yard behind. On the first floor is a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms and a refitted shower room. There is a fourth double bedroom above the family room and accessed via its own staircase from the inner hall.
Outside the property owns the tarmacadam area to the side of the cottage over which the neighbour has a right of way. This leads in turn to a private yard immediately to the rear of Chowle Cottage which provides off road parking for many vehicles and gives access to the outbuildings. There is planning permission on these outbuildings to convert to an annexe leaving a substantial garage/workshop/storage unit. Beyond this are the gardens with a variety of mature trees and hedges, a patio and gardens lie mainly to the rear section backing onto the nine hole Faringdon Golf Course.
The property benefits from UPVC replacement double glazing, a gas heating system to radiators with mains electricity and water connected. There is a private septic tank which is shared with the neighbour and the tenure is understood to be freehold.
