LOCATION
Whitchurch Hill is a quiet, hilltop village lying some 450 above
sea level on the edge of the Chilterns Escarpment close to the
Thames Valley, approximately 2 miles from Pangbourne on Thames with
surrounding countryside designated an area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty .
Traditionally timbered and thatched cottages overlook the
village green and parish church of St Johns and there are many
other period properties reflecting the differing architectural
styles through the ages, which essentially form the character and
history of this unspoilt rural community historically based on
agriculture and farming.
At the bottom of the hill is the separate village of Whitchurch
on Thames lying opposite to the village of Pangbourne on the
Berkshire side of the river, and home to a well revered and
outstanding primary school. Pangbourne offers excellent shopping
facilities as well as a wide range of amenities including a
mainline railway station which has excellent commuter services to
Reading and up to London Paddington in under the hour. There is a
regular daily bus service to Reading via Pangbourne from Woodcote
with good road communications, particularly for Reading and the M4
motorway.
In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state
primary school in Whitchurch on Thames and secondary schooling in
nearby Woodcote, 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, St Helen & St Katharine, Radley College and The
European School at Culham.
The major centres of Reading, Oxford, Newbury and Henley on
Thames are all within easy driving distance as are the M4 and M40
Motorways.
Crossrail Elizabeth Line services have commenced from Reading
which together with the completed electrification of the line has
significantly improved travelling times to East and West
destinations.
