SITUATION
The small hilltop hamlet of Oakley Wood lies just a few miles
outside of Wallingford on Thames on the way to Henley on Thames,
being set amidst the beautiful rolling Chiltern countryside.
Designated an area of outstanding natural beauty, the area affords
outdoor enthusiasts an endless canvass of
possibilities.<⁄p>
There are excellent road communications linking to Reading,
Oxford, Henley on Thames and for both the M40 and M4 motorway
networks. For rail commuters there are stations at nearby Cholsey
or at Henley on Thames and Reading, the latter having fast
intercity services up to London Paddington in 25
minutes.<⁄p>
The historic old market town of Wallingford on Thames granted a
charter by Henry II in 1155, lies just to the west offering an
exceptionally wide variety of shops and facilities, including a
Waitrose supermarket, eateries, and cinema to name but a
few.<⁄p>
In addition to superb local state schools, locally the area is
also extremely well served by an excellent range of private
schooling, of particular note; The Oratory, Pangbourne College,
Cranford House, The Manor, Moulsford Preparatory, Abingdon Boys and
The School of St Helen & Katharine.<⁄p>
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Situated within the very heart of the stunning Chilterns which is
so deservingly designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,
just above the Thames Valley, Hillview commands an idyllic elevated
position, afforded sublime panoramic views over the delightful
adjoining open countryside.<⁄p>
Striking in appearance the main residence has mainly brick and
flint elevations broken up with timber boarding set under a slate
tiled roof with a central atrium style vaulted and glazed reception
to the front, whilst to the rear an interesting element is
introduced with a turret style elevation to the main
building.<⁄p>
This prestigious property has been in ownership by the present
owners for many years, who more recently have taking great care to
both refurbish and enhance the original property to great effect.
The result is an inspirational modern and contemporary architect
designed open plan family home of excellent proportions amounting
to approximately 5,317 sq ft. Many principle reception rooms open
out to the terrace which surrounds the house on two sides and to
the beautiful grounds which in turn lead directly to the swimming
pool and al fresco dining areas.<⁄p>
Throughout the property there are numerous interesting
architectural features such as galleried landings, vaulted
ceilings, view orientated glazing, and even a roof terrace off the
master bedroom suite, reflecting a distinctly quality specification
in a modern and contemporary style to maximise the use of space and
light.<⁄p>
Most attractive, the cottage has a combination of timber and
brick and flint elevations with a mansard style roof to one side
and a traditional slate tiled pitched roof to the other. A simply
charming cottage, a wealth of character is afforded, with
traditional exposed brick and timbering that blends seamlessly with
more contemporary fixtures and fittings. Spacious and well
apportioned, the ground floor affords a more open plan layout,
whilst to the first floor a more traditional layout is
enjoyed.<⁄p>
Careful planning and attention has been provided, combining more
modern open plan living with that of a rather more traditional
nature, in addition to embracing outside living to inside living,
and as a consequence the property presents itself as a true
ambassador to the modern age.<⁄p>
OUTSIDE
Both the main residence and the cottage are privately approached
via their own independent wrought iron gates, in a simply
delightful mature and quiet setting. Once through the gates to the
main residence the driveway opens up to a large gravelled forecourt
affording exceptionally generous parking and an attractive approach
with there being a central circular island. Adjacent to the
forecourt area is the barn complex comprising garage with an
electrically operated door, and a large and characterful gym ⁄
games rooms with a centrally featured fireplace and fitted log
burner. Approximately 795 sq ft in size the barn affords further
potential to suit ones own personal requirements if so
required.<⁄p>
The gardens and grounds are an absolute delight, having been
professionally landscaped, boasting an interesting array of
specimen trees, shrubs, and plants. Whilst mainly lawned with
hedged boundaries to the adjoining open countryside, there are a
number of attractive terraces surrounding the main property and
connecting up to the various al fresco dining areas, and the
swimming pool. The swimming pool is situated as such to take full
advantage of the superb views and affords direct and easy access to
the main house.<⁄p>
The gardens are laid mainly to lawn, with a large feature
fountain dominating the initial lawned area, and with mature trees
and planting flanking. Fenced to all boundaries, to one side the
property adjoins woodland, whilst to the rear boundary the property
adjoins open farmland, with simply wonderful far reaching views
being afforded straight from the ground floor and
up.<⁄p>
Both private and delightfully attractive, the gardens are the
subject of much care and attention, which will be evident upon
viewing. Set in a magnificent elevated setting enjoying awe
inspiring views, the sunsets are just
spectacular!<⁄p>
The gardens and grounds extend in all to approximately 0.87 of
an acre.<⁄p>
