3 Melbourne House, St Peters Street, Wallingford, OX10 0BQ

Found right in the heart of Wallingford, just moments from the town centre and quite literally a few steps from the excellent Blewbury Bread Company bakery, is this truly special four-bedroom home.

This is a house that has been lovingly and sympathetically refurbished, with enormous care taken to respect the period in which it was built.

As you move through the home, the attention to detail becomes immediately apparent, from the carefully restored Victorian features to the thoughtful choices made throughout to retain its original character and charm.

The proportions are exactly what you would hope for from a home of this era, with high ceilings, generous room sizes and a wonderful sense of space throughout.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully finished kitchen, where traditional styling has been combined with a more contemporary feel.

Deep blue cabinetry is paired with brass fittings, beautifully veined stone worktops and splashbacks, a Belfast-style sink and a large range cooker, creating a room that feels both incredibly stylish and very much designed to be used.

The kitchen opens into a wonderfully light dining area, with roof lights above and large doors looking out across the garden.

It creates a natural connection between the house and outside and makes this a lovely space for meals Just beyond, the practical side of family living has been equally well considered.

A generous boot room provides an excellent amount of storage for coats, shoes and wellies that inevitably comes with a busy day-to-day all while continuing the same smart, considered finish seen throughout the house.

Alongside the restoration work, the current owners have also made some extremely practical improvements to the property.

On the ground floor, the addition of a further bedroom and large shower room creates a brilliantly flexible space, ideal for visiting family, guests, multi-generational living or even as a separate home office or living area.

In the basement you will find an incredibly practical and fully ventilated utility room.

Upstairs, you’ll find three generous double bedrooms, all with plenty of space, alongside a truly impressive family bathroom.

Beautifully finished, it features a large rainfall shower, freestanding bath and twin wash basins, creating a luxurious room that feels every bit as special as the rest of the home.

Outside, the garden is a real bonus, particularly for a home so close to the centre of Wallingford, providing plenty of room to sit, entertain and enjoy the outdoors.

And then there is perhaps the rarest feature of all for such a central Wallingford home: Parking.

To the rear of the property is space for up to five cars; a genuine golden ticket when you are this close to the town centre.

This is a home that manages to balance the things that are so often difficult to find together: Victorian character, beautiful interiors, practical living, a substantial garden and exceptional parking, all from a position right in the heart of Wallingford
