LOCATION
The pretty Thameside village of South Stoke situated between
Reading and Oxford, lies on the East bank of the river, set between
the Berkshire Downlands and the Oxfordshire Chilterns in the wide
River valley opposite the village of Moulsford, surrounded by
scenic rural countryside designated an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty.
Largely unspoilt with only a limited amount of modern
development, the village has a fine main street with many
interesting period properties, some dating from the 16th century.
Historically the village retains a close connection with
Christchurch College in Oxford which was given land and property by
Henry VIII at the time of the Reformation in the Middle Ages and as
a result of this the timeless country way of life survives even
today. Local amenities include a highly regarded traditional Inn
The Perch & Pike, a popular Primary School, a village hall with
recreation ground, a thriving Community Shop and a regular bus
service between Wallingford, Goring and Reading. The River Thames
is within easy walking distance at each end of the village offering
boating and recreational facilities including walks along the River
Path to Goring and Wallingford.
The historic Ridgeway Path also runs through the village, having
crossed the river at Goring on Thames from Streatley, continuing
along the riverbank to North Stoke where it leaves the Thames and
continues up onto the Chilterns and the Icknield Way.
The nearby village of Goring on Thames offers more comprehensive
shopping facilities including a modern health centre, dentist,
library, several Olde Worlde Inns, a Boutique Hotel, range of
restaurants, two Riverside Bistro Caf©s, and a mainline railway
station providing fast commuter services up to Reading and London
Paddington in well under an hour.
The larger historic town of Wallingford granted a Charter by Henry
11 in 1155, is also close by and has first class shopping
facilities including a Waitrose.
The major centres of Reading, Oxford, Newbury and Henley on
Thames are all within easy driving distance as are the M4 and M40
Motorways.
