Wallingford Road, Shillingford, OX10

A handsome Edwardian home set within charming gardens and with superb access to Oxford, Reading and London.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Thames Lodge is a well-presented Edwardian house that has been carefully restored by the current owners, retaining its period character while offering practical family accommodation. Set behind a private driveway, the property has an attractive double-fronted façade and well-proportioned rooms throughout.

The entrance hall leads to two reception rooms, both with restored sash bay windows and open fireplaces. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry, granite worktops and integrated appliances, opening into a vaulted breakfast area with French doors to the south-facing terrace. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, one of which has been combined with an adjoining room to create a larger suite overlooking the garden and could easily be reinstated as two separate rooms. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the remaining accommodation.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and hedging, providing a good degree of privacy, while a terrace adjoins the house for outdoor dining. A detached double garage and generous driveway parking complete the property.


ABOUT THIS AREA
Shillingford is a sought-after Thames-side village on the Oxfordshire border, well placed between Wallingford, Henley-on-Thames and Reading. Surrounded by open countryside and enjoying direct access to the River Thames, the village offers an attractive balance of rural living and excellent connectivity.

At its heart is the historic bridge across the Thames and the well-regarded Shillingford Bridge Hotel, while nearby Dorchester-on-Thames provides a wider range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, cafés, pubs and a village store. More extensive shopping, dining and leisure facilities are available in Wallingford and Henley-on-Thames.

The area is well known for its walking, cycling and boating, with the Thames Path and surrounding countryside offering a wealth of outdoor pursuits. There is also an excellent choice of schools in both the state and independent sectors, including Cranford House, Moulsford Prep, The Oratory and Radley College.
