LOCATION
The bustling village of Pangbourne on Thames lies on a bend of the
River where the River Pang joins, and is connected by an historic
Toll Bridge to the village of Whitchurch on Thames opposite in
Oxfordshire which nestles under the Chilterns Escarpment. The
surrounding countryside of the Berkshire Downlands and Chiltern
Hills is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty . The
stretch of River from Pangbourne upstream to Streatley, is forever
associated with Kenneth Graham and his book The Wind in the Willows
which he wrote when living in the village.
An area of riverside land just to the east of the Toll Bridge
was purchased by the Parish in the 1930s and an additional portion
was later acquired by the National Trust and now all of this area
is controlled by the Parish Council and available for the Public to
use for fishing, boating and leisure purposes.
Pangbourne is well served by a wide variety of shops and
amenities including a Co op supermarket, WH Smith, Library,
Dentist, modern Health Centre together with traditional Inns,
Restaurants and Hotels including The Elephant.? Importantly there a
mainline station providing fast commuter services to Reading 8
minutes and up to Paddington 25 minutes .
In addition to having well revered local state primary and
secondary schooling, including a primary school within Pangbourne
itself, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent
range of private schooling, of particular note; Cranford House
School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory
School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School,
Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House,
Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield
College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon
Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen & St
Katharine.
N.B. Crossrail services have commenced from Reading which
together with the electrifying of the line has significantly
improved travelling times to central London destinations.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
St Donats is a semi detached Edwardian Villa indicative of this
favoured era, having red brick under a clay tiled roof externally,

benefit from further improvement and there is scope for enlarging,
subject to planning permission.

family orientated accommodation, which extends to approximately
1,877 sq ft internally, with 4 reception rooms to the ground floor,
and 4 bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor,
A simply charming and stunning period home, and must be viewed

shrubs, enjoying a private and sheltered position, whilst still
being just a short hop and walk to the extensive shops and
amenities found within the village itself.
There is a driveway to the left of the property directly off the
Reading Road.? The frontage is a mass of flowers, shrubs and trees
and a short path leading from the pavement up to the house.?
To the rear there is a most delightful courtyard, which spans
the width of the property, with French doors opening out from both
the kitchen breakfast room and the garden room, perfect for Al
Fresco dining.
