LOCATION
North Stoke is a peaceful village with many interesting period properties lying just off the B4009 road from Goring on Thames to Wallingford and uniquely The Main Street is a no through road.

There is an historic church dating from the 13th century which boasts 14th century wall paintings and a Jacobean pulpit. Many of the properties in The Street have 16th or 17th century origins which contribute to the village’s heritage and unchanging character all adding to its appeal.

The ancient Ridgeway Path runs through the centre of the village having followed a route along the banks of the Thames from Goring and continues up onto the Chilterns.

The historic town of Wallingford is close by offering excellent shopping and amenities including a Waitrose, and Goring on Thames to the south is only a short drive.

Road and rail communication are excellent with nearby Cholsey and Goring both having mainline stations for services up to London (Paddington) and now connects with the Elizabeth line at Reading.

On the Northern end of the village is a golf course bordering the river and is part of The Springs Golf Resort which has a Restaurant open to the public as well as Golfers.
