Wellingtonia Lodge is a substantial Grade II listed village house set on about 0.81 acres with long, gated driveway and paddock views to the south. The seven-bedroom, four-reception layout spans three floors plus cellar, offering over 5,500 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation with many period features: flagstone floors, exposed beams, large bay windows and feature fireplaces. The plot and mature garden provide privacy and scope for outdoor living and family activities.
The house is best suited to a family seeking a historic country home in a well-connected Oxfordshire village. Nearby outstanding and independent schools, good transport links (Didcot Parkway c.16 miles) and easy access to Oxford and the A34 make it practical for commuters and school runs. The property’s size and character also offer potential for flexible use of rooms, or selective updating to create contemporary living spaces while retaining period charm.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate major works, and the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated which will affect energy performance and heating costs. The house has been a single family home for decades and will likely require ongoing maintenance and sensitive refurbishment to modernise services while protecting historic fabric. Council tax banding is not provided and should be checked.
