Description

This detached three-bedroom house presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment, ideally situated just a short ten-minute stroll from the vibrant center of Wallingford. The property’s location is particularly advantageous, offering easy access to local amenities, the scenic River Thames, and a mainline railway station in Cholsey, which is only four miles away. This station provides direct services to London Paddington, making it an appealing option for commuters. The residence features solid brick elevations complemented by a cladded porch beneath a tiled roof, providing a classic aesthetic that can be enhanced with thoughtful updates. Inside, the entrance greets you with a spacious hallway leading to various living spaces. The dual-aspect living and dining room is bright and airy and includes an unused fireplace that could become a captivating focal point after refurbishment. A kitchen overlooking the garden offers practical functionality as well as potential for modernizing. Upstairs, the layout comprises two generous double bedrooms—one with built-in wardrobes—a single bedroom, and a family bathroom equipped with both bath and overhead shower options. The landing area provides ample space and includes loft access, which could potentially accommodate further expansion if planning permissions are obtained. Externally, the property benefits from ample parking on a gated driveway along with a detached garage featuring an up-and-over door. The front garden is predominantly lawned with mature trees providing some privacy. Access to the rear garden is available via side passageways that lead through metal gates; this area boasts a private setting primarily laid to lawn and benefits from a southerly aspect. Beyond its immediate features, this home has significant potential for enhancement or extension—subject to obtaining relevant planning permissions—that would allow new owners to tailor it to their specifications while adding substantial value. Located in Wallingford—a historic market town known for its picturesque charm—the surrounding area is steeped in history with numerous period buildings dating back several centuries. It hosts an array of artisan shops alongside essential services such as local schools and healthcare facilities. Excellent transport links are readily available via nearby mainline stations at Didcot and Cholsey, not to mention improved connectivity through Crossrail services from Reading which enhance travel times into central London. In summary, this property offers not only comfortable living spaces but also considerable scope for improvement in one of Oxfordshire's most desirable areas—making it an excellent investment opportunity for those looking to create their ideal home or capitalize on future growth potential in this thriving community.
