Property description

Hartley House is a handsome Victorian property boasting many character features, such as the fireplace which now hosts a wood-burning stove in the Dining Room, ornate window settings, high ceilings, and in fact just a general sense of light and space, with a good sized Kitchen Breakfast-Room, open Living Room/Diner, and four Double Bedrooms. The property is situated in the village of Shillingford, close to the historic market-towns of Wallingford and Watlington, and just a few miles to Oxford and to the M40.

The large front door opens into a Reception Hallway, with a grand looking staircase winding up to the first and second floors. The floor tiles are in keeping with the age and style of the property and run throughout the ground floor rooms. There is a ground floor WC. The Kitchen Breakfast Room offers a country feel, with painted wooden units. The Lounge and Dining Room are open plan, with rows of bookshelves in the dining area; there is a wood burning stove in the Dining Room area, and the Living Room enjoys a vaulted ceiling and large windows that allow light to flood into the room.

There are two Double Bedrooms on the first floor, the Master Bedroom enjoying its own en-suite Shower Room, and there is also the Family Bathroom. On the second floor are two further Double Bedrooms, with another Bathroom.

Outside the property, there is off road parking to the front as well as garage to the rear, the garage being split to also provide a Studio that is kitted out with light and power, insulated and plastered and with proper flooring – a great space to work from home. The garden is not large, but offers lawn and patio area, is enclosed by a garden wall and gate, and being to the south-east of the property actually enjoys an aspect that catches the sun from morning to evening.

Shillingford is a small Oxfordshire Hamlet around 10 miles from the city of Oxford. There is a local public house, the Kingfisher Inn, in the village itself as well as the Shillingford Bridge Hotel and Restaurant at the attractive stone-arched Bridge, which crosses the Thames and leads on to Wallingford around 3 miles away, with its town-centre and neighbourhood shops and other amenities, supermarkets, and both state and independent schools.
