**Location
**
The twin villages of Aston Tirrold and Aston Upthorpe, which are merged
together as one, lie at the foot of the Berkshire Downs in the valley just off
the A417 Wantage to Streatley - on - Thames road as it extends across the
Downlands close to the historic Ridgeway Path.
On the Downs there are numerous iron - age, Roman and Saxon earthworks and
relics and the villages are believed to date from Saxon times as tradition
recalls that King Ethelred and his brother Alfred (later the king), heard mass
in the village before defeating the Danes nearby. Indeed Aston Upthorpe’s All
Saints Church was built on Saxon foundations, whereas St Michael’s Church in
Aston Tirrold, dates from 1080 and was later remodelled in the 13th century.
The Astons had a tradition of Presbyterianism and in 1728 a Presbyterian
chapel was built, being one of the oldest in existence in the country.
The villages boast numerous period properties of considerable character,
reflecting the growth and prosperity through the centuries, many being listed
as of significant historical and architectural interest. Nowadays the villages
successfully retain their tranquil rural charm and way of life with farming
and the land still being the dominant local activity, along with a notable
thoroughbred Stud where many famous racehorse stallions stand. There is a
village hall built in 1964, a sports/cricket ground, a village pub, and a
repair garage.
There are good road communications to the surrounding towns including Didcot
and Wallingford and the fast A34 dual carriageway linking Newbury with Oxford
is a short drive. The M4 motorway at junction 12 or 13 is also within easy
striking distance. Nearby stations at Cholsey and Didcot for trains to Reading
and London Paddington.
In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and
secondary schooling nearby, 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.
Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, connected to
directly via multiple nearby railway stations such as Didcot, Cho; sey, and
Goring & Streatley, with the full service scheduled to commence shortly, which
together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly
improved travelling times to East and West destinations.
**Property description
**
Aston Tirrold Manor is a most delightful and distinguished Grade II* listed
country residence with origins, it is believed, in the late 17th century, yet

resulting in a simply wonderful and inspired home.
Internally, most spacious and well - appointed grand accommodation is afforded,

presented upon viewing when entering the grand dining hall, from which one
moves past the open fireplace and home to the grand piano, to enter a simply
wonderful sweeping stairwell with and 18th century staircase leading to the
1st floor galleried landing, respectively setting the tone for further viewing
throughout the home. Extending to approximately 11, 947 sq ft, boasting 14
bedrooms, including 3 suites, one being a master bedroom suite with dressing
room and en - suite bathroom, 5 bathrooms, and 9 reception rooms, the 2nd floor

elements combine in a stylish manner, with high quality fixtures and fitting
entirely evident throughout to enjoy, enhancing and collaborating with the
historic importance of such a home, welcoming in the light and air of the

A wonderful location and setting to be discovered, tucked away in the centre
of the village behind the walled grounds of the village church, the property
is privately accessed from a quiet rural lane through electrically operated
wrought iron gates which are flanked by tall stone topped brick pillars.
A long sweeping driveway flanked with mature colourful formal part walled
gardens leads up to the house itself and beyond to spacious courtyard parking,
with the garaging situated to the rear of the property.
Formal gardens with spacious lawned areas wrap their way around the side and
rear of the main residence, with simply wonderful beautifully colourful
planting providing a haven to enjoy throughout the day and seasons. Carefully
designed and landscaped areas of the formal gardens afford their own
enjoyment, whilst collectively providing a most stunning backdrop from the
house itself, with interconnecting stone laid areas connecting the main house
with the swimming pool and vegetable garden, which enjoys the most delightful
traditional brick and timber glazed greenhouse. Formal gardens make way to the
park - like gardens to the front of the house, in which there are host of mature
trees and a pond, and to the far corner, tucked away, a tennis court.
Situated off the rear courtyard, adjacent to the guest lodge and the garaging
complex, there is a wonderful stabling complex, housing 6 stables and a tack
room, with its own stable yard and adjacent paddock and holding filed,
conveniently situated next to the house, yet with exclusivity duly afforded.
A simply charming period outbuilding complex with a traditional steeple topped
apple store is situated close by, providing a workshop, machinery store, wood
store, garden store, bin sorter, and kennel.
Most peaceful and tranquil, yet quite engaging and extensive in offering, the
gardens and grounds extend to approximately 5 acres, and afford a simply
wonderful balance of inside outside family living, within a beautiful setting
not often found, yet just a short hop to London.
