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.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
