Dating back to the 17th Century, with modern additions, Farthinge Cottage has abundant character and charm, which stands out from the moment you enter through the electric gates. The original part of this Grade II listed home houses many original features, including exposed beams, timbers, and two inglenook fireplaces. The rear of the property has been adapted to offer spacious family living, with vaulted ceilings adding contrast between new and old and creating a light and airy space. The property is well presented and has far-reaching views of southeast Oxfordshire. The thatch roof was renewed in 2020.

The delightful gardens are incredibly private and are a major feature of the property. There is a two bedroom annex, a single garage, EV charging point and a shed with a large window overlooking the field beyond. There are numerous trees, including apples, flowering cherries, and shrubs, creating an array of colours.


Farthynge Cottage is located at the end of a no-through lane in the pretty village of Newington. Situated close to the market town of Wallingford and only 9 miles from the University town of Oxford, and 15 miles from the famous riverside town of Henley-on-Thames, all of which offer an excellent range of shops and recreational facilities. The pretty riverside towns of Streatley, Goring and Pangbourne are also nearby, and the cottage is within easy access to footpaths and the beautiful Thames footpath.

Communications are excellent, with road links to London and the Midlands via the M40 (J6). Mainline stations are located at Didcot, approximately 10 miles away and Haddenham and Thame Parkway, approximately 13 miles away. There are also many fine schools in the area, including Cranford House at Moulsford, Moulsford Prep School, Abingdon Boys, Radley College, St Helen and St Katharine's, The Oratory, The Dragon School, St Edwards, Cothill School, Summer Fields in Oxford and Headington Girls School in Headington. There is also Wycombe Abbey in High Wycombe and two extremely popular primary schools in Watlington and Little Milton, approximately 6 miles away.

M40 (J6) 6 miles, Wallingford 6 miles, Oxford 9 miles, Henley-on-Thames 15 miles, Thame 11 miles, London 44 miles, Didcot Station to Paddington (45 minutes) 10 miles, Haddenham and Thame Parkway to Marylebone (38 minutes) 13 miles (All distances and times approximate).

    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
