LOCATION
Lying at the foot of the Berkshire Downlands, close to the River
Thames is the fair sized village of Cholsey situated approximately
2 miles southwest of Wallingford and surrounded by a pleasant rural
landscape designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The original settlement dates back to Saxon times but since 1950
the Village has grown considerably from its modest origins centred
around a small green known as The Forty and now boasts a good range
of shops and amenities including a Tesco Express supermarket with a
Post Office, a general stores and newsagents, a ladies and gents
hairdresser, a highly regarded butcher together with a wide range
of trade services including an electrical wholesaler and
contractor, a long established building company, plumbing and
garden maintenance contractors. There are 2 Restaurants in the
Village as well as 2 Public Houses serving food, a Veterinary
Practice and a playing field hosting a variety of sports activities
including football, tennis and cricket. There is also a well
supported Village Golf Society. The Village also has Scout, Cub and
Guide packs and an excellent Village Primary School as well as a
number of play, nursery and toddler groups for young mums.
Importantly the Village has a mainline railway station with
fast, regular commuter services up to London Paddington in well
under the hour via Reading 20 minutes and up to Oxford. On the
Southern edge of the Village is an impressive Viaduct designed by
Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1840. The late Poet Laureate John
Masefield lived at Lollingdon House located just to the West of the
Village. The Parish Church of St Marys, built in 1130, has some of
the finest Norman work in the district, including an unspoilt early
English chancel and in the church yard can be seen the grave of
Agatha Christie.
The historic old market town of Wallingford on Thames, granted a
charter in 1155 by Henry II is within easy reach and offers a wider
and more comprehensive range of shops and amenities, including a
new large Waitrose Supermarket as well as a family owned
departmental store.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
29 Reading Road is a beautifully presented Victorian terraced
house, originally built for the staff of the former hospital
Fairmile within Cholsey. In recent years, the property has
benefitted from sympathetic renovation and extension including a
newly fitted kitchen at the rear and double glazed sash wooden
windows. Other period features of the property include cornicing,
ceiling roses, stripped floorboards and cast fire fireplace.
Entrance is under a tiled front gabled porch and through a pretty
glazed front door into the hallway. There are stairs to the upper
and lower floors. On the ground level is a cloakroom and lower hall
takes you into the living room with dining area. The sitting room
has an original fireplace and a large window looks out onto the
terrace and garden beyond. There is a dining area and then door
leads directly into the kitchen. The kitchen is fully fitted with
shaker style units and wooden worktops. The flooring is limestone
tiles and it has underfloor heating throughout. 2 large Velux
windows provide masses of light into the room and French doors lead
