5 bed semi detached house for sale Reading Road, Wallingford OX10

What the Owners love ❤️We've loved living in Sandford lodge as a family and will be sad to leave this beautiful place. The grace and elegance of the house, typically Georgian is simply stunning. We love the proportions of the rooms with their large windows and beautiful original features. We have all the space we need for our family with the three reception rooms, including the cellar, which we use as a second family room. It's been a great home for gatherings and celebrations!Then there's the real connection the house has with Wallingford's history: Amongst the first owners were some of the Pettit family, who ran a department store in town for over 150 years. But the thing we love most is the sense of community and friendship, not just with our wonderful neighbours, but also with the wider Wallingford area. We've lived in the town for 20 years, nine of those at Sandford Lodge and we couldn't imagine moving anywhere else.Houses like this don’t come along often.
