Location

Situated in scenic countryside designated an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’, the small village of Lower Basildon lies approximately midway between Pangbourne and Streatley on Thames at the foot of the Berkshire Downlands overlooking the Thames Valley and across to the Chilterns on the Oxfordshire side of the river.

Comprehensive everyday amenities and facilities including shops, banks, health centres, libraries and excellent primary schools are available at Goring on Thames and Pangbourne with both villages also having mainline stations providing fast commuter services to Reading and up to London Paddington in well under the hour, and Crossrail to Canary Wharf to be commissioned shortly. Road communications are also excellent with Reading and the M4 motorway being easily accessible.

On the edge of Lower Basildon stands the historic Basildon House, now owned by the National Trust and open to the public as is Beale Park, which extends along the banks of the river where can be seen many exotic varieties of animals and birds as well as a miniature railway. Near the river off Church Lane is the historic 13th century Parish Church of St Bartholomews. A footpath along the Thames is accessible a short distance from the house.

In addition to nearby villages having their own well revered primary school and secondary schools, locally the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of both state and private schooling, of particular note; Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, Downe House, Cranford House, Moulsford Preparatory, The Manor, Abingdon Boys and The School of St Helen & Katharine. A variety of secondary school buses run through Lower Basildon.
