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 Chilterns escarpment, with the river forming the boundary between two counties. 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 of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’. In the village there are two ‘Olde Worlde’ inns, a well revered primary school and a well-used cricket ground supported by an enthusiastic village team. In addition to state schools there is a wide selection of private schools in the immediate local area, providing ample choice.

The larger village of Pangbourne on Thames, connected to Whitchurch by a Toll Bridge, offers a comprehensive range of facilities with shops including supermarket and wh Smith, impressive new health centre, library, dentists, 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 approximately 45 minutes. There are also good road communications enabling easy access to Reading, Newbury, Oxford, Henley and the M4 Motorway at Theale. In late 2019 Crossrail services are scheduled to be commencing from Reading which together with the electrification of the line will significantly improve travelling times to East and West destinations.

Property description

Little Cottage originally dates back to the mid 1800’s, having whitened rendered elevations under a pitched and gabled clay tiled roof.

Situated in the very heart of the ‘Conservation Area’, the property has in more recent years undergone sympathetic restoration and refurbishment with works having been carried out to the very highest standard, providing for a most desirable period home that yields great character appeal, and which blends seamlessly with rather more modern and contemporary fixtures and fittings.

The accommodation is both light and airy, with great open plan living accommodation to be found downstairs, merging with more traditional accommodation to the first floor.

The presentation of the cottage is both tasteful and attractive and will entice those who are looking for a charming period property that both affords great character as well as a more modern and contemporary ambience.

Outside

Along the frontage with the High Street there is an historic brick boundary wall with timber picket fencing and a pedestrian gate opening onto a brick laid footpath leading to the front entrance, with a wide terraced area along one side of the cottage. To the front of the cottage, behind the wall and picket fencing, there is an attractively landscaped garden incorporating delightful mature planting of colourful plants and shrubs.

The larger part-walled rear garden has been most attractively laid out with a small terrace approached off the rear kitchen door, leading on to the mainly lawned garden which is flanked by shaped borders containing a variety of plants and shrubs together with mature trees, forming an attractive backdrop and a most private garden to be enjoyed. A pretty brick built garden shed is located off to one side.
