Croft Villas, Wallingford, OX10

At first glance, this handsome Victorian semi-detached home has all the hallmarks of a classic period property. Step inside and you’ll find a beautifully renovated home that balances original character with a stylish, modern interior and a standout extension to the rear. Step through an extremely useful lobby space, perfect for coats, boots and buggies and into the hallway that leads naturally through to the back of the house and the real heart of this home. The kitchen and dining room to the rear are truly standout and have been renovated with real love and attention. They give this home a fabulous sociable space with bi-fold doors that open directly into a wonderfully kept, well-loved and peaceful wrap around garden. Just off the kitchen behind a sliding door is an extremely practical utility space and downstairs toilet. Completing the downstairs are a reception room with a log burner, perfect as an additional television room or a lovely spot for a quiet reading room. Alongside this is a similar sized living room found to the front of the house. Take the stairs to the middle floor where you will discover two large double bedrooms alongside the main bathroom; fully replaced by the current owners into a clean shower room. Additional eaves storage is easily accessed through the main bedroom, providing a useful space for all those extra belongings not required on a daily basis. Lastly the stairs take you to the top floor to another third room. Currently used as an office space but perfectly suitable as a third bedroom. Additional Velux windows installed by the current owners ensure that this room is as bright and airy as its downstairs counterparts. The house sits along Croft Villas, just off Croft Road, and was built in the later part of the 1800s as Wallingford began to expand. Its setting gives you the best of both worlds: a short stroll across the Kinecroft brings you into the centre of town, while the quiet no-through lane offers a real sense of peace and privacy, especially in the home’s beautiful garden. Houses as special as this really don't come up very often in Wallingford and early viewing is advised. Viewings by Appointment: Saturday 25th July.
