Location:
Appleford-on-Thames is a small riverside village set on the south bank of the Thames, two miles north of Didcot in some of South Oxfordshire’s most picturesque countryside. With a population of around 350, it offers the combination today’s buyers are increasingly looking for: genuine village life, an active community and easy access to London, Oxford and the South.

Appleford has its own railway station, with services to London Paddington in under an hour via nearby Didcot Parkway. Oxford is around 20 minutes away, the M4 and A34 are within easy reach, and Heathrow is roughly an hour by car. The Thames Path runs from the village, and the Hanson Cycle Way provides a traffic-free route to Didcot, Harwell and beyond. The 12th-century Norman church of Saints Peter and Paul stands at the heart of the village, and the celebrated Appleford Hoard of 4th-century Romano-British pewter, now displayed in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, was unearthed here.

The village hall, recreation ground and active Women’s Institute keep village life thriving year-round. Activities here include the annual village fete, a bonfire night gathering and Christmas festivities with the carol service held at a farm, complete with a real donkey and then the neighbourly cook-out around open fires, and carollers winding from cottage to cottage with mulled cider and sparklers.

In The Owners Own Words:
We moved from London and drove through Appleford on the day on the village fete – we fell in love with the village and our house because we love the garden and views of the Whittenham clumps from the main bedroom – always brought us peace.
