Woodcote House, an historic country mansion built in the 1730s, now forms part of the Oratory School, standing in extensive park like grounds east of the main village. A variety of local activities appealing to young and old are based in the Village Hall and nearby Community Centre and which are well publicised in the monthly village newspaper, the Woodcote Correspondent, circulated to all local residents. ✦ Private & Mature Gardens Woodcote has good road communications with easy access for Reading, Henley, Oxford and the M40 and M4 networks. For rail commuters ✦ Communal Park-Like Gardens there are mainline stations locally at Pangbourne and Goring on Thames, as well as Reading, all providing fast services up to London (Paddington). Wood Green is a small development of houses built in the traditional style in 1978, advantageously situated in the centre of the village close to shops and amenities and benefiting from a private, traffic free, non- estate setting ideally suited for children. The houses differ in size and are arranged around two sides overlooking their own private hedged and lightly timbered green. The Freehold of the green is owned by a private company comprising all the property owners in Wood Green who each hold equal shares and contribute a yearly sum for the maintenance of the grass, trees and hedges. This sum varies between £90.00 to £100.00 per annum but is assessed annually. N.B. Crossrail services are scheduled to be commencing from Reading in 2020 which together with the electrifying of the line will significantly improve travelling times to Paddington and central London destinations.
