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.
