The AreaLong Wittenham

Long Wittenham is one of South Oxfordshire’s most highly regarded and sought after villages. An attractive village with many period and thatched properties, there is a real sense of community. This is very much a village which retains the best qualities of traditional village life. Perched on the banks of the River Thames, the Plough pub is within walking distance from Willingtons Barn and there is also an excellent Indian restaurant, The Vine & Spice located on the High Street. Commuting to London or Oxford couldn’t be easier. Long Wittenham is exceptionally well placed, with Didcot Parkway Station less than 4 miles away and trains to London Paddington from 37 minutes. A cycle path runs directly from Long Wittenham to Didcot. Long Wittenham is equidistant from the two Thameside market towns of Abingdon and Wallingford, with their desirable settings and attractive architecture – both offer market town living at its finest. Oxford itself is less than 10 miles away. Bordered by the rolling Chilterns on one side and the magnificent Berkshire Downs on the other, the surrounding countryside is idyllic with inexhaustible options for lovers of the outdoors, with the highlight being the neighbouring Wittenham Clumps. There is a wide and excellent choice of both state and private schools, including a Primary School within Long Wittenham.

Willingtons Barn, Long WittenhamAbout this home

HOUSE & GARDENS Willingtons Barn is located in a wonderfully tucked away position within the highly sought after village of Long Wittenham. The barn is believed to date from about 1780 and was converted in 1990, and has since been lived in by the current owners. The conversion is sympathetic to the character of the original building with beautiful old beams and attractive brick work. The rooms are well proportioned, with good ceiling height and the south facing aspect towards the garden flood the principle rooms with natural light. In addition to the five bedrooms in the house, there is a separate one bedroom annexe and an adjoining studio, with mezzanine above, which could be used as a studio or for any number of uses including a home office, a gym, a cinema room or converted into further annexe accommodation. The large south facing gardens are private, with mature planting. Willingtons Barn is a superb opportunity for anyone looking for a house in a vibrant and active village, yet in a tucked away and private location. It is also ideally located for commuting to London.
