The Great Barn, ChalgroveAbout this home

Steeped in history, The Great Barn was once the corn barn for the neighbouring Manor House, with The Little Barn being the old cart shed. Thought to date back to 1650, this Grade II Listed barn is a traditional elm barn that once supplied Wallingford Castle and Oxford Colleges. This charming barn conversion with an enormous amount of character is the perfect family home. The double height drawing room and six bedrooms with the addition of a one bedroom annex (The Little Barn) provides ample accommodation. Looking to the outside, the mature gardens are so beautifully cared for with a stunning pagoda that has a mature wisteria growing over it which provides some much needed shade on a hot summer day. There are a number of key highlights to living at this wonderful property. The main ones are:

With almost 4000sqft of accommodation The Great Barn is a magnificent family home with well proportioned rooms.

There is separate access to The Little Barn which is a well laid out one bedroom annex.

Six bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms, arranged over the first and second floor, makes for comfortable family living.

The double height drawing room which is full of character and charm provides an ideal space for entertaining or one can simply sit back, relax, and take it all in.

The first floor has a large galleried landing which really is a great multifunctional space as it could lend itself as a study or playroom.

The gardens are simply beautiful with well-established flower beds which are full of colour throughout the summer months.

The house benefits from a large in and out gravel driveway which provides ample parking for a number of cars.

The AreaChalgrove and Wallingford

Situated in picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, Chalgrove has a wonderful community feel to it. It has all the amenities one could ask for with the Village Stores, The Post Office, Village Hall and Recreation Ground and three pubs. The village church has an internationally renowned set of medieval wall paintings in the chancel dating from 1320. Furthermore Chalgrove is the site of a small Civil War battle in 1643, the Battle of Chalgrove Field. The Parliamentarian John Hampden was wounded in the battle, and died of his wounds six days later. A very rare silver Roman coin (circa 271) was found at Chalgrove: a base silver Roman coin called a radiate of Emperor Domitian II.

Situated on the banks of the River Thames, Wallingford – with its desirable setting and attractive architecture – offers market town living at its finest. Bordered by the rolling Chilterns on one side and the magnificent Berkshire Downs on the other, it’s an idyllic spot with inexhaustible options for lovers of the outdoors. With its large open market square and famous castle ruins, this bustling market town is suffused in history. But what you might not know is that contemporary Wallingford is home to a fresh and energetic vibe, stoked by some great independent shopping, a sparkling array of dining options and a thriving café culture. If that wasn’t enough, Wallingford’s outstanding schools, great leisure facilities and abundant footpaths, mean the town is fast becoming South Oxfordshire’s most sought after small town. With both Oxford and Reading within striking distance, Wallingford is well-connected to some of London’s fastest rail-links and is well positioned for both the M4 and M40.
