A splendid detached Victorian house, once the Headmaster`s house and school room for the village of Aston Tirrold. This is a very pretty building constructed in the traditional Victorian style of blue and red clay brick with very attractive Norman arch brickwork above the ground floor front and side windows and fine traditional chimney stacks with a clay tiled roof. This property is within the heart of this highly sought after village, within a small group of similar period properties, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with lots of footpaths and bridle paths through adjacent farmland.

The property appears in good order throughout; it has been recently redecorated and offers spacious family accommodation.

Valuably unlisted, the property could be substantially increased in value by some rearrangement of the existing accommodation and has enormous potential to extend above the sitting room to create a further bedroom subject to planning permission.

SPECIAL FEATURES: The excellent position within the heart of the village within walking distance of the well-known gastro pub The Sweet Olive ? The very large reception hall with highly polished oak flooring, this room could easily become a dining hall if so desired ? The unusually spacious sitting room with open log fire ? This room also has French doors opening onto the rear gardens ? Modern bathroom to the first floor and three double bedrooms ? A further double bedroom to the ground floor with ensuite shower room ? Plenty of room to the right hand side of the property to make a further extension, incorporating the existing single garage subject to local authority planning permission ? Lots of car parking to the front ? Pretty gardens to the rear with wide lawns, summer dining area and the possibility of extending the lawns by incorporating the large flower bed running the width of the boundary

Bedroom 4 with ensuite shower room to ground floor, 3 further double bedrooms and bathroom to first floor. Kitchen/breakfast room, walk-in pantry, large utility room. Single garage.

Local facilities and schools: Easy walking distance to the village church and the highly regarded Gastro restaurant and public house, The Sweet Olive.

There is an excellent Waitrose in Wallingford, a Tesco and Sainsbury`s in Didcot. Wallingford is a fine old market town on the River Thames with lots of specialist shops and restaurants. The Downs and The Ridgeway with some wonderful walking country are also within walking distance. This is wonderful riding country, there are gallops on the Downs, lots of bridle paths and footpaths through unbelievably beautiful countryside.

There are excellent schooling facilities within the area including a highly regarded primary school at Blewbury and South Moreton which are both within easy driving distance with a school bus pick up in Aston Tirrold.
