SITUATION
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 and secondary schooling, 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, Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.


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, 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.



PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Believed to date back to the 19th Century, this former Victorian lodge house has been sympathetically extended over the years to provide a spacious and imposing family home, which extends internally to approximately 3,164 sq ft, affording 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 6 receptions rooms, with additional amenity both internally and externally, commonly associated with larger character residences.


More recently the property has been extensively refurbished and modernised throughout successfully blending in architecturally the old and new elements, whilst retaining the great many period features and charm that is to be found in abundance throughout, creating a most stunningly characterful yet contemporary home which affords traditional living, with that of a rather more modern air, embracing its stunning gardens and grounds and private rural surroundings, with wonderful elevated views afforded.


Careful planning and attention has been provided to combine modern open plan living with that of a rather more traditional nature also, whilst embracing the delightful mature gardens and grounds and encapsulating an al fresco lifestyle, providing for an exquisite family home.


OUTSIDE
The Old Lodge is approached through electrically operated gates over a gravel driveway which runs through to a larger circular courtyard style enclosure, with parking for a number of vehicles, as well as having a detached garage, which is converted on one side to form a gym. The gardens wrap their way around the house, but mainly lie to the rear of the house and are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and hedging providing an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion within the grounds. Herbaceous borders and fruit trees provide colour and variety throughout. There is a paved stone laud terrace off the back of the house, accessible from the kitchen / breakfast room and dining room, providing an ideal dining or entertaining space.


Delightfully mature, and adjoining countryside, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.7 of an acre.
