LOCATION
The picturesque village of Whitchurch on Thames lies just into
South Oxfordshire on the northern bank of the River Thames at the
foot of the Chiltern escarpment, with the river forming the
boundary between the two counties of South Oxfordshire and West
Berkshire. The village has a wealth of period properties, many
Listed as being of special historic and architectural merit and
interest and the High Street and immediate surrounding area is now
a Conservation Area. The River Thames continues to provide a
tranquil background with its water meadows and leisurely way of
life. There are numerous riverside and country walks and the
surrounding scenic countryside is designated as being an “AONB”. In
the village there are two ‘Olde Worlde’ inns, a well revered
primary school with pre-school and a well-used cricket ground
supported by an enthusiastic village team.
The village boasts an OFSTED rated ‘Outstanding’ primary school,
and a pre-school and is also in the catchment area of the well
regarded Langtree Secondary School, based in nearby Woodcote (with
own bus route). In addition, 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 Andrew’s Preparatory School, The Oratory
School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Queen
Anne’s School, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College,
The Abbey School, Reading Boys Grammar school, Kendrick Girls
Grammar School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School,
Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and
St Helen & St Katharine.?
The larger village of Pangbourne, connected to Whitchurch on
Thames by a Toll Bridge, offers a comprehensive range of facilities
with many independent shops and mainstream ones, including a
supermarket and WH Smith, an array of restaurants, cafes including
a Costa, pubs, an impressive health centre, library, dentists,
hairdressers, post office, hardware store, boutique shops, outdoor
activity centre including canoeing and climbing to name but a few,
and a main line railway station providing fast commuter services to
Reading and London, (Paddington) in well under the hour. There are
also good road communications enabling easy access to Reading,
Newbury, Oxford, Henley and the M4 Motorway at Theale. Crossrail
(Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, with the
full service scheduled to commence in 2021, which together with the
completed electrification of the line has significantly improved
travelling times to East and West destinations.
