Summary - 5 WALLINGFORD ROAD SHILLINGFORD WALLINGFORD OX10 7ES
5 bed 2 bath Detached
1920s five-bed detached on 0.6 acre with countryside views — requires energy upgrades and flood checks.
Five bedrooms and two bathrooms across 2,096 sq ft
A substantial five-bedroom family home dating from the 1920s, set within very large secluded grounds of approximately 0.6 acre. The house extends to around 2,096 sq ft with formal reception rooms, a refitted kitchen/breakfast room, utility and detached garage—offering comfortable space for family life and entertaining. Mature planting, an orchard and a private terrace provide a peaceful rural setting with open countryside beyond.
The accommodation is well presented and benefits from double glazing and a stylish kitchen with quartz worktops and modern appliances. Principal living spaces include a triple-aspect drawing room with French doors to the garden, separate dining and family rooms, five bedrooms and two bathrooms (including a five-piece ensuite). There is extensive gated parking and good access to Wallingford, Oxford and Reading via the nearby A4074.
Important practical points are set out clearly: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler to radiators and uses oil as the main fuel (not a community system). The fabric is traditional solid brick construction and is assumed to have no cavity insulation; upgrading to modern standards will likely be needed. The property lies in a high flood-risk area, which will affect insurance and any future alterations; purchasers should satisfy themselves on flood mitigation and historic incidents.
Other considerations: council tax is above average (Band E), broadband speeds are reported fast and the village location offers low crime and a very affluent area profile. The setting will strongly suit families seeking sizable private gardens and countryside views, and buyers should factor potential energy efficiency and flood-related costs into their plans.
