Situation


The small hilltop hamlet of Oakley Wood lies just a few miles outside of Wallingford on Thames on the way to Henley on Thames, being set amidst the beautiful rolling Chiltern countryside. Designated an area of outstanding natural beauty, the area affords outdoor enthusiasts an endless canvass of possibilities.

There are excellent road communications linking to Reading, Oxford, Henley on Thames and for both the M40 and M4 motorway networks. For rail commuters there are stations at nearby Cholsey or at Henley on Thames and Reading, the latter having fast intercity services up to London (Paddington) in 25 minutes.

The historic old market town of Wallingford on Thames granted a charter by Henry II in 1155, lies just to the west offering an exceptionally wide variety of shops and facilities, including a Waitrose supermarket, eateries, and cinema to name but a few.

In addition to superb local state schools, locally the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular note; The Oratory, Pangbourne College, Cranford House, The Manor, Moulsford Preparatory, Abingdon Boys and The School of St Helen & Katharine.


Property description


Most attractive, the cottage has a combination of timber and brick and flint elevations with a clay tiled mansard roof to one side and a traditional slate tiled pitched roof to the other.

A simply charming cottage, a wealth of character is afforded, with traditional exposed brick and timbering that blends seamlessly with more contemporary fixtures and fittings. Spacious and well apportioned, the ground floor affords a more open plan layout, whilst to the first floor a more traditional layout is enjoyed.

Set in delightful gardens and grounds with panoramic views over the adjoining countryside, the property as a whole does clearly offer potential for either further enlargement of the existing cottage, or for full replacement with a new larger home, subject to the relevant permissions being obtained.

A wonderful opportunity afforded, early viewing is advised.


Outside


Privately approached via electrically operated wrought iron gates, the property enjoys a delightfully mature and quiet setting. Once through the gates the driveway opens up to a large gravelled forecourt affording generous parking and an attractive approach. A stone laid path leads to a further gravelled pathway that runs up to the front of the cottage.

The gardens are laid mainly to lawn, with a large feature fountain dominating the initial lawned area, and with mature trees and planting flanking.

Fenced to all boundaries, to one side the property adjoins woodland, whilst to the rear boundary the property adjoins open farmland, with simply wonderful far reaching views being afforded straight from the ground floor and up.

Both private and delightfully attractive, the sunsets are just spectacular!
