**Situation
**
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 within the hour. Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services
have commenced from Reading, with the full service scheduled to commence in
2021, which together with the completed electrification of the line has
significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.
In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and
secondary schooling, 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.
**Property description
**
Langdons is a most delightful yet imposing Georgian residence, which is
privately situated close to the centre of this quintessentially English
village, just a short drive to the river Thames, outstanding schooling, shops
and restaurants, and mainline railway station, which provides direct access to
London in under the hour.
Externally the property displays proudly its architectural roots associated
with the favoured Georgian era, having combination red and blue brick
elevations with soldier courses and decorative banding under a hipped clay
tiled roof, with traditional sash windows, and an arched entrance to the
front, whilst to the rear, modern oak fronted and vaulted additions lead the
way forward to contemporary living.
More recently, the property has been extensively refurbished and modernised
throughout, both internally and externally, successfully blending in
architecturally the old and new elements, whilst retaining the great many
period features and charm that is to be found in abundance throughout,
creating a most stunningly characterful yet contemporary home which extends to
approximately 2, 023 sq ft internally, affording an inspired offering of both
traditional living, with that of a rather more contemporary air, boasting 4
bedrooms, 1 being a suite, 2 bathrooms, 3 reception rooms, and a detached
garden room, encapsulating its stunning gardens and grounds and private
surroundings.
A simply wonderful opportunity afforded, and quite rare indeed to the open
market, early viewing of Langdons is highly recommended.
**Outside
**
The property sits privately tucked away behind tall electrically operated
gates, well set back from the village, sheltered behind mature hedging, with a
deep gravelled driveway and forecourt across the frontage.
Mature hedging and specimen trees interspersed with colourful herbaceous
borders flank the part - walled gardens, with a central main lawned garden
wrapping around the property on two sides and leading off the stone laid
terrace.
South and West facing to the rear, capturing great natural light, the stone
laid terrace is approached from the house via dual French doors via the open
plan kitchen / dining / family room, perfect for ‘Al Fresco’ dining, providing
a most peaceful environment from which to admire the beautiful gardens.
Simply stunning, and beautifully mature and well cared for, the gardens
themselves are only enhanced by the peaceful and sheltered setting, and the
attractive architectural attributes of Langdons, and in all, extend to
approximately 0. 15 of an acre.
