Unique is a term often used to describe a wide variety of properties, but in this instance Keepers Cottage stands out as truly exceptional. The cottage lies approximately 2 miles outside the village of Aston Tirrold, approached by a lane that leads to just a farm building, Keepers Cottage and one other former Farmhouse residence. It is extremely rare to find such seclusion, yet remain within a 5-mile drive of a mainline station, (Didcot Parkway) and town centre facilities in either Didcot or Wallingford and only 30 minutes drive of Oxford.
The seclusion of this location has led the present owner of Keepers Cottage to add a particularly impressive, 45 square metre log cabin building to the site, which takes full advantage of a slightly elevated position within the garden to further enhance the views over the surrounding countryside. The cabin has been used as a yoga studio, but could equally serve as a home office. Large graveled driveway with ample space for a garage, subject to the necessary planning consents.
An additional annex, complete with shower room, provides further guest accommodation. The cottage itself offers well-proportioned accommodation on one level with a generous farmhouse style kitchen with French doors opening to a delightful outdoor sheltered seating area, sitting room with woodburning stove and French doors opening to the garden, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Aston Upthorpe and the immediately adjacent village Aston Tirrold are considered amongst both the prettiest and most desirable of the South Oxfordshire villages. There is a strong and vibrant community with an outreach Post Office The Astons cafe from the village hall, a renowned village pub, Olivier at the Chequers, a village garage, a large recreational ground with adventure play area and impressive and widely used pavilion.
The neighbouring towns of Didcot with its thriving Orchard Centre shopping centre, cinema and mainline rail connection to London Paddington contrasts with the historic Thames side town of Wallingford with its wide selection of independent shops and restaurants.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
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
