Situation
The villages of North & South Moreton lie in a flat plane between the towns of Wallingford on Thames and Didcot, overlooked by Wittenham Clumps and Blewburton Hill to the south. The surrounding countryside is designated an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and both villages have avoided any obtrusive development and remain largely unspoilt.
South Moreton, the larger of the two villages, contains many traditional brick and timbered thatch cottages of great antiquity, the oldest dating back to the 14th century. The church of St John dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, although it has Norman walls and clear marks of a Saxon west door. Nowadays the village retains its essentially rural environment, with a bounty of extensive walks on one’s doorstep, yet duly enjoys good road communications such as the M4, M40, and A34 all within easy reach, and with a mainline station at Didcot providing commuter services up to London (Paddington) within approximately 40 minutes, as well as for Oxford. The village boasts a primary school with an excellent reputation and a village green with children’s play equipment adjacent, a community owned local pub, The Crown, is highly regarded for its fine fare, and South Moreton Boxing Club, which serves as a multi discipline training gym to the public is also very popular locally indeed.
In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and secondary schooling, including a primary school within South Moreton itself, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular note; Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.
N.B. Crossrail services are scheduled to be commencing from Reading in due course, which together with the electrifying of the line will significantly improve travelling times to Paddington and central London destinations.
Property description
Walnut Tree Cottage is believed to date from the late 1600’s, listed Grade II, being of great historical and architectural importance, being a very appealing traditional period cottage with part whitened brick infill panels and beamed elevations and part timber boarded barn style elevations, under a pitched thatched hipped roof, which has only recently been newly done along with the gas central heating system.
In more recent years, the cottage has undergone a thorough and tasteful refurbishment programme, affording modernised accommodation which is both light and airy, extending internally to approximately 1,700 sq ft, affording 3 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, detailing a high quality note throughout, with an abundance of character features such as wall and ceiling beams, 2 staircases and landings, fireplaces to main reception rooms, and traditional ledged and braced doors. More contemporary features throughout seek to both compliment and enhance the cottages historic origins, whilst creating a most stunning home, which sits privately in its delightful mature gardens and grounds, wholly embracing outside living to inside living within a period ambience not often afforded, whilst still affording would be buyer clear potential for both adaptation and enlargement of the existing accommodation, should one wish to do so, and as a consequence the property should be viewed to be fully appreciated.
Outside
The cottage is privately situated within the quiet heart of the village, siding on to the high street, with the property as a whole nestling behind tall clipped hedging, with a wide and deep gravelled driveway offset to one side across the frontage.

A patio terrace spans across part of the cottage, with doors off both the kitchen and sitting room opening out on to the terrace, perfect for inside outside living and ‘Al Fresco’ dining. The gardens are laid mainly to lawn, and wrap their way around the cottage on two sides, with mature hedging and colourful planting affording a private and mature outlook to be enjoyed.
