Moulsford, Oxfordshire

Built in 1935, The Meadows, is a beautifully presented and more recently extended family home, with four bedrooms, three large reception rooms, offering over 2100 sq ft of accommodation across two floors, with a garden studio office and a number of outbuildings. The front entrance is shielded by a storm porch which leads into a vestibule with a practical coat cupboard and guest toilet. Three wellsized reception rooms exist on the ground floor, with the flexibility to suit a variety of set-ups, two of which are fairly equally sized and front facing on either side of the entrance hallway. The largest measures over 400 square feet and has attractive views over the rear garden as well as two sets of double doors leading out and is currently employed as dining and family room. The smart, modern kitchen has been recently updated and includes shaker styled units with Corian worktops, double Corian sinks, integrated appliances and a gas range cooker with a stylish tiled splashback. A stable door leads out to a covered terrace where a former garage has now become a spacious and useful utility and laundry room. Given the swimming pool, there’s also a shower and toilet.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three front facing, of which two are good sized doubles and each with internal storage. These are served by a family bathroom containing a bathtub with overhead shower. A wide landing area with a skylight window leads through to an impressive principal bedroom with a Juliette balcony overlooking the gardens and a grand en-suite bathroom with a bath and large shower cubicle.

The property is sat back nicely in its nearly half acre plot with a tarmac driveway offering ample parking for numerous vehicles and accessed via tall, wooden, electric gates. A smart, double, timber frame carport sits to one side of the house with an additional awning for a third vehicle to benefit from cover. The quite spectacular south facing rear garden is laid mostly to lush, manicured lawn with a paved terrace for outdoor dining, mature hedging, well-stocked flower beds and specimen trees. In addition to this is a Hartley Botanic brick base and metal frame construction greenhouse, an insulated, timber garden office with power, sizeable work shed and store and two further storage sheds at the far end of the garden. Finally, there is an outdoor, swimming pool (recently re-lined) with an air source heat pump.

Picturesque Moulsford village on the River Thames is set between the Chilterns and the North Wessex Downs in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a wealth of walks and rides on offer. Wallingford village, Goring and Streatley and Pangbourne provide an excellent range of shops, facilities and restaurants, although Moulsford itself is the home of the popular Beetle & Wedge Inn and Restaurant. The M4 offers easy access to London, Reading, Newbury, whilst mainline stations at Cholsey, Goring and Pangbourne provide fast and frequent rail services to London Paddington. The immediate area is served by well-regarded local schooling and this is bolstered by a large selection of independents including, Moulsford, Cranford, St. Andrews, Pangbourne College, Bradfield College and The Oratory.
