Pangbourne Hill, Pangbourne, Reading, RG8

A substantial and historic grade II listed cottage, sympathetically restored and with a wealth of character features. The house would originally have been four cottages and the layout offers potential to easily create an annexe. Unusually for a property of this type and location, there is plenty of off-street parking and a detached studio (formerly a garage). The fully enclosed and gated part-walled southerly garden with an ancient wisteria provides a lovely setting. The centre of Pangbourne is just a moment's walk away, as is the railway station. 3/4/5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 reception rooms. EPC Rating D.

LOCAL INFORMATION
Pangbourne is an exceptionally pleasant and well supported village. Standing on the south side of the River Thames where it meets the Pang, Pangbourne lies between rolling Berkshire Downland to the South and the start of the Chiltern Hills to the North. This thriving and active village is a focal point for the surrounding countryside and offers superb transport links with fast mainline railway service to Reading and London, Paddington (from 45 mins) with the Elizabeth Line from Reading allowing faster direct access to the City, Canary Wharf, the West End and Heathrow. J12 of the M4 is only a short drive away. As well as several award-winning independent shops, Pangbourne has excellent schools, both in the private and the state sector, a large modern Health and Medical Centre, riverside pubs and restaurants. There are excellent sporting and leisure facilities and an active community with its own village magazine, and many societies and associations. There are many country and riverside walks, with public footpaths and bridle ways giving access to miles of open countryside and the beautiful beech woods of the Chiltern Hills.
