House For Sale £1,450,000
The property is a substantial family house in the centre of this sought-after village. The property is Grade II listed and laid out over three floors offering excellent family accommodation with lovely reception rooms, plenty of character and original features.

The gardens are a particular feature of St Andrews Lodge, mostly laid to lawn and surrounded by a number of herbaceous borders. The property has a large outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace.
The historic village of North Moreton is situated between the Berkshire Downs and Blewbury Hill to the South, and the Wittenham Clumps and the River Thames to the North, with the surrounding countryside, designated an area of 'Outstanding Natural Beauty'. There is a public house (the Bear) and a cricket club (founded in 1858).
The village is peaceful but benefits from its excellent links to the surrounding towns, especially Didcot which has a mainline station providing fast commuter services up to London (Paddington) and nearby Wallingford which provides a good range of local everyday amenity, including a Waitrose.
The larger centres of Oxford and Reading are readily accessible. The area is awash with good schools; there is a village Primary in adjacent South Moreton with state secondary options in Wallingford and Didcot. Moulsford Prep School is particularly local. The Oratory, St Hughes, Rupert House, Shiplake and Pangbourne are nearby. In and around Abingdon, there is Cothill and Chandlings, Abingdon itself, Radley, St Helen and St Katharine, The Manor and Our Lady's. The Oxford school run is within reach, including The Dragon, Summerfield's, St Edwards, Headington, Oxford High and Magdalen College School, to name but a few.
