LOCATION
The property is conveniently situated off the Shillingford Road in Wallingford, being easily accessible for Oxford, Reading, the M40 and M4 plus a choice of mainline stations.
The ancient town of Wallingford owes its importance largely to its position, approximately mid-way between Oxford and Reading on the Icknield Way, at a natural fording point of the River Thames and therefore on the direct ‘East to West’ route for travellers from as far back as the bronze age up to the 20th century.
A terrible fire destroyed most of the medieval architecture in the town but there are numerous period buildings of great merit dating from the 16th century onwards, notably the Town Hall built in 1670, the 16th century George Hotel (an old coaching inn) and the corn exchange, of Italian design, now a theatre.
The town now boasts a population of nearly 8,500 and is a bustling market town and popular riverside touring centre with a wide range of interesting Artisan shops together with a Waitrose Supermarket, restaurants and Cafes. Other facilities include a Museum and a Cottage Hospital and there is also a fantastic bus service, with buses every ½ to both Reading & Oxford and serving smaller towns like Abingdon and Henley on Thames.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Rush Court Gardens offers a wealth of opportunities.  Set within stunning walled grounds, the property itself has been recently improved and redecorated including new electrics, large floor to ceiling double glazed windows plus engineered walnut flooring in the dining and living area, pale cream handleless kitchen with matching Quartz worktop,  built in appliances and new light oak Amtico flooring.  Originating in 1922, being 3 potting sheds to Rush Court Manor,  the property was then converted in the 1960’s and joined together to create the single storey property it is today.  Offering naturally light and bright rooms with  wonderful views from the main driveway capturing all the wraparound gardens, Rush Court Gardens has well appointed accommodation with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and reception areas totalling 2,120 sq ft offering scope for a new owner to adapt and create their own dream home.
Alternatively Full Planning has been approved to create a brand new stunning contemporary property of 4,133 sq ft  Ref: P21/S3648/FUL and a Development Certificate was granted Ref: P/24/S3377/LDE confirming development has started. 

Once the new house is completed, there will then be full permitted development (PD) rights for the property which include the rights for an outbuilding. 

Additional planning was approved to turn the Garage into an enclosed 2 Car Garage with EV charging facilities/Home Office/Separate Tractor Shed, Tool Shed totalling 1,230 sq ft planning Ref: P22/S1286/HH
