LOCATION
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 the surrounding countryside designated an “A.O.N.B. “

Traditional timbered and thatched cottages overlook the village green as does the parish church of St John and there are many other period properties reflecting the differing architectural styles through the ages, which essentially form the character and provenance of this unspoilt rural community historically based on agriculture and farming. In Hill Bottom on the Northern edge of the village, is located the well known Sun Inn, a Brakspear Pub which has a good reputation for food.

At the bottom of the hill is the separate village of Whitchurch on Thames lying opposite the village of Pangbourne, and which boasts a highly rated Primary School and 2 popular Inns.

The village of Whitchurch on Thames also boasts its own very well regarded Primary School, with the also well regarded secondary school, ‘Langtree’, being in catchment for the village also, and having its own bus route. The local area is also extremely well catered for by a great many wonderful private schools.

Pangbourne on the Berkshire side of the River offers excellent shopping facilities including a supermarket as well as a wide range of amenities including a mainline railway station with frequent commuter services to Reading and London (Paddington well under the hour).  There are good road communications particularly for Reading, Henley on Thames, Oxford, Newbury and both the M40 and M4 motorway networks.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Dating from the 1960’s, Newlands is a very spacious detached 3-4 Bedroom Bungalow arranged in an L shape. The front door opens into a central Reception Hall, off which are the large double aspect Sitting Room, Dining Room, Kitchen Breakfast Room and Utility Room, all facing the rear with a Southerly aspect overlooking the beautiful gardens and countryside beyond. The inner part of the hall leads to three main Bedrooms, two with En-Suite facilities, a fourth Bedroom / Family Room, and a family Shower Room. The property has been immaculately maintained and affords generous and flexibly arranged accommodation in a wonderful private setting.

OUTSIDE
Newlands occupies a particularly special plot of approximately half an acre, enjoying complete privacy and simply beautiful open countryside views. A five bar gate opens into a spacious gravelled forecourt with turn circle around a lawned garden with central tree. To one end of the bungalow is an attached double garage. Access can be gained around both sides of the house to the rear.

The South facing garden is truly delightful, with wide paved terrace spanning the rear of the house leading off all principle rooms and providing the perfect location for outside dining and entertaining, enjoying the spectacular views over the garden itself, adjoining paddock and farmland beyond. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and beautifully mature, with a variety of well stocked beds and borders of specimen shrubs plants and trees adding colour and seclusion. The garden gently slopes away, enhancing the view. Towards the bottom is a carefully placed Summer House with decked veranda taking advantage of the late evening sunshine, and further still a well screened working area.
