Stowhill, Childrey, Wantage £1,425,000

The Paddocks sits in the largest plot of approximately 0.92 acres, the name inspired by the semi-paddock area adjoining the property. Living accommodation here is plentiful, and the feeling of space is enhanced by the way in which the rooms flow one to the next, drawing you along from the lounge – which features a wood burner – through the galleried dining room to the large kitchen/breakfast room and finally the family room, which is glazed on three sides.

Dropshort Farm is a new development of just four beautifully designed and constructed homes, which blend with the character of the village and take their place at the heart of the community.
