" A quite delightful and pristine modern stone house with masses of natural light. Five bedrooms, vast kitchen/ breakfast room, landscaped gardens, triple garage and NO CHAIN.

Built by Pye Homes, the most respected and established local builder, this is an ideal family village home Somerton village offers a rare mix of countryside seclusion and easy access to all amenities, sitting amidst the wonderful rolling countryside of the Cherwell valley. Within a short drive are rail and road links to London M40, Oxford via the Kidlington A4260, and Banbury. The local historic village of Deddington offers various food shops, pubs, a library, health centre, primary school and a monthly French-style market. The village itself dates back to Saxon times, also mentioned in the Doomsday Book, and the Church of St James dates back in part to at least 1074. There are many local activities, a number of which revolve around a fine village hall, rebuilt with lottery money in 2008. This features everything from toddler groups to films, evening talks and a Thursday evening bar (which we are told is very popular!). Farmington House was built in 2002 by Pye Homes, a respected and long-standing local builder, to provide a high quality mix of character and practicality in a lovely village location. Our clients are the first and only owners and during their tenure the house has been impeccably kept - the garden has been fully landscaped at great expense and the main en-suite comprehensively upgraded. Telephone, tv and cat 5 broadband points are everywhere as is a wide range of mains sockets. Even the garage is in first class condition, with power and light plus a pitched roof ideal for storage. In all the house is offered in impeccable order throughout, and with no onward chain. Turning in off Dovecote Lane the house is immediately on the right, with a hedge to the front offering a good degree of seclusion. The gravel driveway leads to a pretty frontage with various shrubs and topiary either side of the footpath and off to the left it also feeds to the garages and parking via electric gates. An oak front door opens into a long and light hallway with stairs to the left, and ahead of you double doors open into an unusually large kitchen. The generous range of cupboards, equipped with various white goods including a new Smeg induction hob, double oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, are dwarfed by the overall space which is ample for a table and many chairs. To the right a door leads into the fully equipped utility room which has both space for washing machines etc and a door to the side passage. To the left the first door enters a good sized dining room which is immensely light with glazed double doors flanked by further windows. These lead into a large conservatory which is delightful, with a panoramic view of the garden, and this also has further double doors both to the terrace and the kitchen. The living room is also a great size, double aspect with further double doors to the garden and also to the hallway, and the fireplace has been refitted with a modern gas fire. Also downstairs is a fully fitted study with purpose-built desk and wall units, plus a lovely modern cloakroom with a rather fine glass sink. Upstairs is equally attractive. All five bedrooms operate as double rooms and all are equipped with a generous set of integrated wardrobes. The master bedroom is a great space with a feature wall to one side plus a view to the rear over the garden and fields beyond. The en-suite has been upgraded this year with a floor-level shower and drain enclosed by a floor-to-ceiling glass screen, plus a large wall-mounted vanity unit which features a resin top seamlessly including two basins. At the other end of the landing the second en-suite bedrooms is also large and overlooking the garden, and the en-suite features a metre-wide shower pan and a modern white suite. The three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, and there is a large airing cupboard with double doors on the landing. Much though we do not expect the next owner will need to convert the loft it is notably large and also tall. Outside the space is generous. The triple bay garage to the left provides ample parking but could instead (subject to consents, where required) provide home office space or possibly an annex. In front of the garage the driveway is block paved with space for several vehicles behind secure wooden gates. The garden to the rear is wide, lengthy and beautiful. To the left behind the garage a brand new shed sits on a concrete base and behind it is a meandering border filled with flowering plants. Various seating areas include a covered pergola garden seat to the right in amongst various rose bushes and other plants, plus a lovely terrace adjacent to the conservatory. Beyond the landscaping the lawn dips away to a post and rail fence behind which are some delightful mature trees and a stream. It is also worthy of note that there is access to the garden from the front of the house from either side. Mains water, electricity, oil c.h.
