he White House in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell is just 3 miles from Wallingford, and five from Didcot (London Paddington 45 minutes).
Overlooking fields on two sides, the house was built in a combination of brick and knapped flint under a tile and slate roof. It was extended in 2002 to provide a large kitchen/breakfast room and a bedroom above. Mackney Lane lies to the south of the village and serves just a handful of properties on a looped lane and adjoins open farmland.
The extensive gardens lie to the rear and side and divided up into a number of areas with a number of fine mature trees. There is a loggia with climbing roses which makes a delightful outside eating area. And a perfect heated swimming pool is set in a suntrap, screened on two sides by a brick wall with flower borders.
