OUTSIDE
The gardens of Brook Lodge have been professionally landscaped
and are a perfect setting to the house. To the front are mature trees
and rolling lawns and there is a superb walled kitchen garden with
raised beds, pleached hornbeams and a traditional glasshouse. To
one side is the mill pond and a stream that leads down to the River
Thames. There is a 13m x 6m swimming pool with heating and
stone sun terrace; a timber chalet houses the pool equipment and
changing rooms. The tennis court has been recently installed and is
fully netted. The lawns stretch 900ft to the River Thames and to the
mooring for a day boat. There is over 500ft of river frontage with
mature willow trees and a bridge links the formal gardens to the 5
acre meadow which is currently planted with wild flowers with
paths mown through.
LOCATION
Brook Lodge is situated in the charming village of North Stoke
which has a Medieval Church, and wonderful walks straight from
the house which is in a no through road. The village is surrounded
by some of South Oxfordshire’s prettiest countryside and provides
miles of walking and riding; the ancient Ridgeway Path runs along
the Thames in the village, continuing up into the Chiltern Hills. The
Springs golf course is close-by. The Thameside town of Wallingford
(3 miles) has a Waitrose, cafés, restaurants and specialist shops and
a cinema and theatre, whose Sinodun amateur dramatic group was
once presided over by Wallingford resident, Agatha Christie. The
village of Goring (4 miles) offers local shops and a mainline railway
station with a fast service to Oxford and to London, Paddington
(from 51 mins) with Crossrail allowing direct access to the City,
Canary Wharf, the West End and Heathrow from 2018. Local
schools include Moulsford and Cranford House preps, Abingdon,
St. Helens (with the school bus running from the end of the road),
The Oratory and Bradfield and Radley Colleges.
