Constructed in 1780, this distinctive residence has been thoughtfully expanded and modernized over the years, yet it remains poised for further updates that reflect individual style. This four-story property presents a unique chance to reimagine a charming village home with ample character. The inviting sitting room showcases a bay window and an open fireplace, while a well-proportioned study and a dual-aspect dining area with glazed doors lead directly to the terrace, showcasing views of the expansive garden. The kitchen retains its traditional layout with family dining space that overlooks the meticulously maintained gardens, complete with access via double doors to the terrace. The adjoining utility room enhances functionality, and the cellar offers potential for innovative use or enhancement.
On the first floor lies a principal double bedroom accompanied by an ensuite bathroom, alongside three additional double bedrooms and two family bathrooms. There's even an extra bedroom accessed through one of the bathrooms. Two more good-sized rooms on the second floor could be transformed into separate living accommodation, pending planning approvals.
Set behind charming hedging, this property boasts attractive brick-and-render elevations under a clay-tiled roof, complemented by a gravel driveway for convenient off-road parking. The remarkable rear gardens span over half an acre and extend more than 200 meters down to the River Thames, providing breathtaking natural beauty year-round. Celebrated for its award-winning lawns and carefully curated landscaping featuring specimen trees and mature shrubs, this outdoor haven also offers access to private river frontage and dock facilities for boating enthusiasts.
Three sheds serve as excellent storage solutions, along with a greenhouse catering to gardening aficionados eager to further cultivate this stunning outdoor space. Evelegh’s occupies a prime location in Long Wittenham High Street near scenic walking trails within the Chiltern Hills and Berkshire Downs. With community amenities like schools, pubs, and restaurants nearby—plus Didcot Parkway only four miles away offering swift connections to London—the property represents not just a home but an exceptional investment opportunity in a desirable area.
