4 bed detached house for sale

Church Road, Benson, Wallingford OX10

Hollandtide, Benson, South Oxfordshire

An attractive detached four-bedroom family home, quietly tucked away at the end of a private lane in the heart of this highly sought-after Thameside village.

Originally built in the 1930s, Hollandtide is a beautifully maintained detached home that offers generous and versatile accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family living. Enjoying a wonderfully private position at the end of a peaceful lane, the property is just a short stroll from Benson's vibrant village centre, the popular Waterfront Café overlooking the River Thames, and regular bus services to Wallingford and Oxford. The house was significantly extended in 1996, creating a spacious and flexible layout, while a complete new roof was installed in 2016, providing peace of mind for years to come.

A welcoming tiled porch opens into the entrance hall, with a set of wide stairs with an oak balustrade leading up to the top floor, and where you'll find a ground-floor double bedroom with its own en suite, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. To the rear of the property, the impressive kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, with French doors opening onto the rear terrace, making it ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. The generous sitting and dining room also enjoys French doors leading directly to the garden, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. There is also a good-sized study with a wall of fitted shelves, as well as a practical utility room and a cloakroom WC.

Upstairs, the large principal bedroom enjoys lovely views across the rear garden and benefits from its own en suite bathroom. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom featuring a walk-in shower.

Outside, a gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking both in front of the garage and across the front of the property. The mature rear garden is beautifully established, predominantly laid to lawn and offers a peaceful, private setting which is not overlooked - a rarity within the area of Benson. A detached studio, built in 2009 and complete with electricity, provides excellent additional space for a home office, gym, hobbies or creative pursuits.

The garage is in need of some renovation, and planning permission was granted in 2016 for a replacement garage with accommodation above, although this consent has since lapsed.

Situated on the banks of the River Thames, Benson is a thriving and highly desirable South Oxfordshire village offering an excellent range of everyday amenities. There is a primary school just a four-minute walk away, and the bustling High Street includes a supermarket, pharmacy, traditional butcher, cafés and public houses, while the village also benefits from a highly regarded primary school, parish church, tennis courts, recreation grounds and a large village hall. Benson is exceptionally well placed for commuters, with easy access to Wallingford, Henley-on-Thames, Reading and Oxford, as well as the M40 at Junction 6 (Lewknor), approximately 15 minutes away, providing excellent links to London and the wider motorway network.

Please note: Ignore Street View imagery - the property is situated on Church Road, a private lane.
