The house has very good proportions with a wonderful double-volume drawing room with views over the neighbouring countryside towards the White Horse, a large dining room, a very useful studio, and a wonderful party barn. The kitchen/breakfast room opens onto a private south-east facing terrace with also a large utility room off. Within the kitchen, there is also access to the cellar. Of special note is the extraordinary staircase, circa 17th century, with moulded balusters and Doric columns.
The setting of Shellingford house is a great attraction; a substantial yet private village house with both informal and formal gardens, a pool, tennis court and paddock/field. A discrete white farm gate leads to a generous drive with parking by the front door. The gardens stretch down to a small stream, with a wild garden courtyard area, a more formal lawn, an orchard with a differing variety of fruit trees, a hard tennis court, and a wonderful pool area comprising a large outdoor pool with an adjoining pool pavilion flanked by mature catalpa trees.
In all, the gardens, grounds and field extend to approximately 8 acres.
The house enjoys an enviable position on a no-through lane within the quiet village of Shellingford. Shellingford is ideally placed for both London and school commuting, with Pinewood, Abingdon, St Hugh's, and Cokethorpe School all within easy reach. Also within close proximity is the A420 which links the M40 and M4 motorways; the city of Oxford is within a circa 30-minute drive.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 16, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
