LOCATION
The village of Woodcote, which lies just off the Reading to Oxford
Road, is situated in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
surrounded by the scenic countryside of the Chilterns, with
extensive beech woodlands and undulating fields. The village is
some 500 160 metres above sea level and there are glorious far
reaching views from several parts of the village. Originally a
small community based on farming and the countryside, Woodcote has
grown substantially, especially during the 1960s and 1970s, is now
a thriving village with a good range of local amenities including
supermarket, nursery garden centre, two public houses, modern
health centre and excellent education facilities with two toddler
playgroups, primary and secondary schools.
In addition to having well revered local state primary and
secondary schooling, 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.
Near the centre of the village is the Parish Church, which was
rebuilt in 1846 in a Norman style on the site of the original
Norman structure, with a few traces of original walling still
surviving. Woodcote House, an historic country mansion built in the
1730s, now forms part of the Oratory School, standing in extensive
park like grounds east of the main village. A variety of local
activities appealing to young and old are based in the Village Hall
and nearby Community Centre and which are well publicised in the
monthly village newspaper, the Woodcote Correspondent, circulated
to all local residents.
Woodcote has good road communications with easy access for
Reading, Henley, Oxford and the M40 and M4 networks. For rail
commuters there are mainline stations locally at Pangbourne and
Goring on Thames, as well as Reading, all providing fast services
up to London Paddington .
Crossrail services have commenced from Reading which together
with the electrifying of the line has significantly improved
travelling times to Paddington and central London destinations.
