All’s well for families seeking the rural lifestyle

Stanford in the Vale is a large village set between Wantage and Faringdon, but tucked away just off its High Street is a cottage in a setting that gives a really rural feel.

Siberts Well, in Sheards Lane, is an end terrace stone cottage believed to have been built in the 1840s. More recent extension has turned it into a spacious family home but there is still a strong connection with the past.

In the garden is the well that once also served the neighbouring properties and now lends its name to the cottage. As it backs onto fields, the cottage feels as if it is set away from the main community yet just a short walk delivers you to all that Stanford has to offer, including a primary school, post office, supermarket, hairdresser, two public houses with restaurants, a church, village hall, veterinary surgery, and many village clubs serving a variety of interests.

With Faringdon only four miles in one direction and Wantage six miles in the other, accessing more extensive leisure facilities and a wide range of shops is not difficult or time consuming.

On the ground floor, the cottage has a study / snug, living dining room, and kitchen / breakfast room. The sitting room has a coal effect gas fire.

Four bedrooms, together with a family bathroom, make this a great home for a family wanting a taste of village life. There’s also a garage and pretty south-facing rear garden.

Guide price for Siberts Well is £329,950. For more details, visit Dreweatt-neate.co.uk.
