Property description

An exceptionally well positioned 5 bedroom residence set in circa 0.25 of an acre. Farmlands benefits from its position close to the village centre but alongside a lovely quiet lane with open, unobstructed southerly views across fields to the Chiltern hills which can be appreciated from most rooms and the garden areas.
LOCAL INFORMATION
The historic village of North Stoke is of particular appeal to families seeking all the tranquillity and picturesque beauty of village life that this non through traffic village provides, while still being close to all essential amenities and important road and rail networks.



Of particular note is the old church in North Stoke which heralds back to medieval times with Saxon origins. The famous and ancient Ridgeway Walk passes through the village centre and the River Thames runs alongside and is accessible on foot via a secluded country lane. Conveniently the Springs Golf Club is also located adjacent to the village.



The village is a short 3 mile drive from the small old town of Wallingford which provides all of the usually required amenities including a large Waitrose, banks and post office. The village of Goring is also close (4 miles) and its mainline railway station provides direct access to Reading, London Paddington and Oxford. North Stoke is also most conveniently only a short 15-20 minute drive from both the M4 and M40 motorways ( 14 miles from M4 J12 at Theale and 12 miles from M40 J6 at Lewknor ). The village also benefits from being only a short drive from several well regarded primary and secondary schools offering a wide choice of options.
