LOCATION
Whitchurch on Thames is a picturesque village situated on the South
Oxfordshire bank of the River Thames, opposite Pangbourne in
Berkshire, lying at the foot of the Chilterns Escarpment as it
meets the Thames Valley, the area designated as being of
Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Little changed over the years and without the intrusive
development that has marked many villages, Whitchurch retains its
tranquil setting by the Thames with numerous riverside and country
walks available locally. The stretch of the river between
Whitchurch and Streatley is particularly scenic and formed the
basis of local author Kenneth Grahams immortal book The Wind in the
Willows. The village boasts an interesting history with a wealth of
period and character properties reflecting a rich architectural
heritage, many Listed as being of special architectural and
historical merit especially along the High Street itself which is
now a Conservation Area.
There are two village Pubs, the Greyhound and the Ferry Boat, a
well respected primary school, an Art Gallery with works by local
artists and a village Cricket Ground supported by an enthusiastic
village team.
The larger village of Pangbourne on Thames, within walking
distance and connected by a privately owned Toll Bridge over the
River from Whitchurch, offers a comprehensive range of shops and
amenities including a supermarket, WH Smith, 2 banks, impressive
new health centre, library, dentist, eclectic range of restaurants,
and bistro Caf©s and, importantly, a main line railway station
providing fast commuter services to Reading and London Paddington
in just over the half hour. There are also excellent road
communications providing easy access to Reading, Newbury, Oxford,
Henley and the M4 Motorway at Theale. In addition to state schools
there is a wide selection of private schools in the immediate local
area giving ample choice.
Crossrail services have commenced from Reading which together
with the electrifying of the line has significantly improved
travelling times to central London destinations.
In a prominent situation fronting onto the High Street set
behind a high brick wall which ensures a great degree of privacy. A
private entrance through the wall opens on to a gravelled driveway
giving access to Walled Garden and 2 other properties.
Fronting onto the drive is a forecourt area set back and with
further parking.
The gardens which lie to the front and side of the house enjoy a
totally private aspect with the original high brick wall extending
along the boundary with the High Street.
