HOUSE AND GROUNDS

Approached through a set of wooden gates onto a gravel driveway, nestled amongst box hedges, lies this idyllic country home. With its solid-oak frame and flagstone flooring, exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces, The Forge demonstrates contemporary and traditional living at its finest. Thick, timber-framed floor-to-ceiling windows drench both the sitting room and dining room in natural light – an ideal setting to admire sweeping views across the lawn and paddocks beyond. The kitchen is well suited for serious cooks and is fitted with a number of appliance such as a butler sink, bespoke cabinetry and matching island unit. Whilst upstairs, four large bedrooms have wonderful views across the surrounding countryside. As for a home office, the flint outhouse, with yet more glass double- doors, is a superb space.

1 ABOUT THIS AREA

OUR THOUGHTS ON WALLINGFORD

Situated on the on the banks of the River Thames, Wallingford – with its desirable setting and attractive architecture – offers market town living at its finest. Bordered by the rolling Chilterns on one side and the magnificent Berkshire Downs on the other, it’s an idyllic spot with inexhaustible options for lovers of the outdoors.

With its large open market square and famous castle ruins, this bustling market town is suffused in history. But what you might not know is that contemporary Wallingford is home to a fresh and energetic vibe, stoked by some great independent shopping, a sparkling array of dining options and a thriving café culture. If that wasn’t enough, Wallingford’s outstanding schools, great leisure facilities and abundant footpaths, mean the town is fast becoming South Oxfordshire’s most sought after small town.

With both Oxford and Reading within striking distance, Wallingford is well-connected to some of London’s fastest rail-links and is well positioned for both the M4 and M40.
