A rare opportunity to acquire a well-proportioned detached family home, set within attractive, south-facing gardens extending to around 0.37 acres (0.15 hectares). Having been enjoyed by the same family for many years, the property now offers excellent scope for modernisation and personalisation. Positioned within comfortable walking distance of Wantage’s historic Market Place, the property also benefits from easy access to everyday amenities, including Waitrose, Charlton Primary School, Wantage Cricket Club and the Silver Band Hall. Internally, the layout is both spacious and adaptable. The ground floor features three separate reception rooms, a kitchen, a cloakroom and a conservatory overlooking the garden. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms served by a bathroom, a separate shower room and an additional WC. Of particular note is the generous attic space, which presents clear potential for conversion into further accommodation, subject to the usual consents. Externally, the gardens provide a pleasant setting with a summerhouse and shed, while a garage and driveway parking are located to the side of the house. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain, and a Grant of Probate has already been issued.
