Views towards White Horse Hill and the Downs are among the highlights of a detached period house that has had its price cut by £50,000 for a quick sale.

Greenlanes, in Great Coxwell near Faringdon, was on the market for £650,000, but is now being offered for £599,950.

Tucked away in a no-through road, the property is next to open fields and includes a split-level sitting room with windows on three sides, an open fireplace and French doors to the garden.

The kitchen/dining room features spotlights, exposed timbers, a built-in larder and an Aga range cooker and there is also a study/bedroom, conservatory, shower room and a utility/boot room on the ground floor.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom. The master suite has windows on two sides, a connecting dressing room and an ensuite bathroom.

One of the other bedrooms includes windows on three sides and an open fireplace with cast iron surround and the other two have ensuite wash basins.

There is a double garage and a driveway at the front of the house.

The back garden measures 100ft x 75ft and includes a gravel patio-style area, lawn, garden pond and a summer house.

Graham Douglas, of agents Douglas Gribben, said: “The main thing about Greenlanes is the location.

“It is on the outskirts of the village and has fields on two sides. It has these absolutely wonderful views across to White Horse Hill and the Downs plus a larger-than-average garden.

“The house itself is a spacious period property that has plenty of potential for a purchaser in that there is a quite a lot of scope for modernisation and we have dropped the price accordingly.

“I think it is fair to say that the bathroom and kitchen could both do with some updating, but despite that, it is lovely house that is full of character.

“Another interesting point is that the current owner has an arrangement to rent a couple of paddocks opposite the property where she keeps her horse, and it is possible that this facility may be available to the new owners through separate negotiation.”
