Location

Situated about 11 miles south of Oxford in an idyllic semi rural location, between the village of Shillingford and the historic market town of Wallingford, Meadow View Barn enjoys the best of both worlds, being at the same time in a country setting and yet conveniently accessible.

Set on the river Thames, Wallingford is a vibrant market town that offers residents many amenities including a cinema, Waitrose supermarket, boutique shops, wine bars, various restaurants and a sports center. For the commuter, Didcot Parkway station (about 7 miles) has services to London/Paddington from 40 mins, and the M40 (J6) is about 10 miles. The area offers a wide range of schools, with state primary in Wallingford and Warbourgh, secondary in Wallingford, and independent schools including Moulsford Prep School, Cranford House, The Oratory, Downe House, Radley College and Abingdon School.

Description

Approached along a shared tree lined drive, Meadow View Barn is one of four beautifully converted historic brick farm buildings which date back to the beginning of the 20th century.    Converted in 2011/12 by highly regarded local developers Rectory Homes, the attached property has high standards of insulation and building technology, with stylish, quality finish and attention to detail.   Since, having been well maintained by the current owners, the property today offers fabulous family living with flexible accommodation arranged over two floors.

The principal reception rooms include a study, leading off the attractive entrance hall with vaulted ceiling feature, a sitting room with wood burning stove and a dining room, both overlooking and open to the garden and the paddock beyond. The heart of the home is the spectacular vaulted ceiling, open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room. With bi-fold doors to the pretty courtyard garden and a feature Meijifocus fireplace, there is access to the utility/laundry room. A practical rear Boot Room / Bedroom 5 opens to the terrace and garden. All the bedrooms are en-suite with plenty of storage and the stunning ground floor master bedroom, with vaulted ceiling, has a fabulous en-suite bath/shower room and walk-in wardrobe.

Outside, there is parking and a turning area to the front of the property, with a private electric wooden gate to the side opening to a courtyard with parking and access to the triple garage and internal store room, (currently taking part of the third garage). There are large entertaining terraces and gardens laid to lawn which adjoin a post and rail paddock, with some established specimen trees and summer wilding areas.
