The thriving Saxon riverside market town of Wallingford is within 2 miles, with restaurants, pubs, a Waitrose and a number of antique shops, and there is good local and regional schooling in the area with excellent access to the Abingdon and Oxford schools, The Oratory Prep School, Moulsford and Cranford House are all within easy reach.

Description The Old Mill House is a wonderful Grade II Listed house which is on the market for the first time in 50 years. Believed to originate from 1692 with a classic William and Mary facade, this handsome house was later added to in the 18th century and Victorian era. Quintessentially English red brick elevations are inset with symmetrical sliding sash windows and two dormer windows set in a clay tiled roof, together with a lovely fanlight over the front door.
Ground floor The Old Mill House offers spacious family accommodation with 3 principal reception rooms on the ground floor together with a lovely family kitchen / dining and sitting area, which is open plan. Fine cornicing, bay windows, some with shutters, sash windows, classic fireplaces, panelling and stone and herringbone wood block floors enhance the ground floor character, increasing the charm of this lovely house. First floor The first floor has an excellent master bedroom suite with walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom and, like the two principal guest bedrooms on the first floor, enjoys river / meadow views towards the Thames. The fourth bedroom on this floor has a lovely garden view. There are 2 family bathrooms and a separate shower room on the first floor.
Second floor The second floor comprises 2 double bedrooms both with exposed beams and river views overlooking the front meadow, one with a walk-in wardrobe.
Swimming pool The heated swimming pool (with retractable roof), is tucked away from the formal garden behind the garage/annexe and within a walled garden. There is a kitchen garden with greenhouse, potting shed and fruit cage.
The garage complex The garage complex / annexe sits conveniently beside The Old Mill House and comprises a double garage with cupboard, double carport and further enclosed parking, and to the rear a studio flat / office with fitted kitchen / sitting room, a generous double bedroom and en suite bathroom above, ideal for ancillary accommodation or possibly for those requiring work from home office space. Close by is a gardener’s WC, with other useful outhouses and sheds. The garden The beautiful formal gardens of The Old Mill House enjoy wide flagstone and red brick terracing immediately around the house, giving way to lawn; this section of the garden is part walled on two sides. There is a delightful formal sunken garden with mixed shrubs and herbaceous plants, and interspersed in the main lawn are topiary yew trees, a flowering cherry tree and a holly tree.
Beyond the garden wall is a hard tennis court and summerhouse adjacent to the paddocks and woodland, which extend to the north eastern boundary of The Old Mill House and provide a woodland walk. Across the village lane is the riverside meadow where a timber framed wet boathouse is situated directly on the millstream which leads, in less than 100 yards, to the River Thames.
