LOCAL INFORMATION The traditional village of Childrey lies 3 miles to the West of Wantage and a little to the North of the Portway, at the opening of a cleft in the Downs known as Childrey Hollow. It is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside and there are some fine walks directly from the house. There is a shop, school, a range of clubs and societies, a pub and the Church of St. Mary. Wantage offers a wide range of facilities and services including supermarkets, high street shops and doctors surgeries with the city of Oxford 20 miles away. The A34 and J14 of the M4 are 9 miles and 11 miles distant respectively providing access to the Midlands, London and the West as well as the wider motorway network. There is a good railway service to London, Paddington from Didcot (11 miles) taking about 45 minutes. More comprehensive information for residents can be found on the website at http://www.childrey.org.uk/site/.
ACCOMMODATION Approached over a long gravelled driveway, the entrance to Brook View is via a stone paved terrace with covered porch. A heavy Oak door with antiqued ironmongery leads into the reception hall with wall-to-ceiling glass panels and a polished Oak floor. Through glass doors is the superb, open-plan kitchen/breakfast and family room. Flooded with light, there are four pairs of French windows and full length windows with a door leading to a balcony. The kitchen is hand made of painted Oak with soft close doors, basket storage and integrated appliances; a dishwasher, halogen hob and double ovens. There is a large island unit with double width Oak worktops and breakfast bar with views over the surrounding countryside. A separate boot and utility room has a range of storage units off which is a small office study. There are two cloakrooms. The sitting room is triple aspect and has a pair of French windows opening onto a terrace and a further two sets opening onto the balcony. There is a Holmewood contemporary wood burning stove with slate hearth and doors leading back to the family room.
From the hallway, a beautifully crafted Oak staircase winds up to the first floor with a large landing and vaulted ceiling. The master bedroom has a range of built-in wardrobes and a dressing area and there are French windows leading to a balcony with lovely country views. The spacious en-suite bathroom has a contemporary slipper bath and a shower cubicle.
There is a family bathroom with bath and shower and two further bedrooms, one of which has a large attic room off, suitable for conversion to an en-suite or dressing room.
The lower ground floor of Brook View is accessed via the Oak staircase from the main hallway or from double doors and a separate gravelled drive. With over sq ft of ground floor accommodation, this would make an ideal annexe with private access or could be used as additional living and bedroom accommodation. Currently it is divided into 4 large rooms and configured as 2 double bedrooms and a large bathroom. The magnificent main room could be used as a kitchen/family room or as a cinema or games room. There is a further room which could be a gym or utility. The latter two rooms could be completed to the buyers specification, subject to negotiation.
OUTSIDE SPACE The long gravel driveway winds between fields and down to the parking area. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and features a spring-fed brook which feeds into the lake. Originally, this was used by the village as watercress beds but it has now been stocked with Brown Trout.
AGENT NOTE Note: Brook View is being sold with an acre of garden but a further 2 acres may be available by separate negotiation. There is also a stable barn with planning potential which may be available by separate negotiation.
