A sought after and historic location that has been valued since the Doomsday Book when it was held by Walter Gifard, a preeminent Norman baron who helped William the Conqueror win the Battle of Hastings, West Hanney retains its significance today. Situated off the main Oxford to Wantage road in the Vale of the White Horse, Wantage is five miles to the south and there are excellent train and road links. Didcot Parkway provides an hourly, non-stop commuter service to London Paddington and the M4, M40 and A34 are all within easy reach. Whilst London is 70 miles away, Oxford is a mere 13 miles or 20-minute car journey to the north and offers a wide range of recreational, educational and cultural amenities, as well as first class shopping. The village of West Hanney itself has a vibrant community spirit, church, community-owned pub and numerous local sports clubs. Local sporting facilities include golf at Frilford Heath. Lambourn, the centre of UK National Hunt racing, is a short drive away. The local area is renowned for its excellent choice of internationally recognised schools including Eton, Radley, Marlborough, Abingdon School, St Edward’s, The Dragon, Summerfield’s, St Hugh’s and Cothill to mention a few. The local hunt is the Old Berks and the surrounding estates all offer shooting on a commercial let-day basis. 4 5 A Vanbrugh HISTORY influenced, symetrical Georgian est Hanney House is an exquisite example of the house of ‘remarkable English, country house genre. Records show that the property was so dilapidated at the death in 1718 of distinction’ the Vicar’s of Salisbury’s tenant, Elizabeth Bowles, (Murray’s Architectural whoW according to a tablet in the local church died aged 124, that the Guide edited by John Betjeman house had to be rebuilt (Church Commissioners Records, Vicars choral and John Piper) 6/1, Wiltshire Records Office, Trowbridge). The landlords requested the retention of the Tudor kitchen wing for economic reasons but in so doing spoilt the perfect ‘chocolate box’ symmetry often associated with the best Georgian architecture. Built in 1722 (there is a partially illegible date on the South Front), the bulk of the existing house belongs to a select group, including Kingston House and Ardington House that were built by a local school of Vanbrugh-influenced masons for ‘ambitious and newly-wealthy patrons’ or conservative, rural gentry. The nearby Blenheim Palace naturally providing a first-class training ground. For unlike other arts that the Baroque movement encompassed architecture required a team to fulfil the architect’s ideas. Indeed, it was Hawksmoor who said, referring to the workmen at Blenheim, ‘all of them together could not stir without me’. Having become familiarized with Vanbrugh’s architecture, the workmen diffused into the Vale of the White Horse to build provincial houses, copying small details and diluting the generality as a result of their irregular wages. For after Mrs Masham succeeded the Duchess of Marlborough as Keeper of the Privy Purse, the Treasury payments dwindled and eventually stopped. This left the Duke of Marlborough to finance his own prize for defeating the Franco-Bavarian army at the Battle of Blenheim – something he naturally resented (although in the end he did pay £60,000 out of the £300,000 build cost). The Strongs for instance, long considered as candidates to have built West Hanney House were owed £12,000 over an argument about whether the Duke was exempt from crown rates or not. However, the curves of West Hanney are also reminiscent of Italian Baroque precedents, where curve and counter curve create a sense of frozen drama as at Borromini’s undulating, restless walls at S.Carlo. None of these houses have come to the open market in 50 years. 6 7 WEST HANNEY HOUSE 8 9 WEST HANNEY HOUSE est Hanney House, with its rubbed red bricks and panels of greyish-purple bricks, prominent keystones and curious symmetrical design provides an opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of a grand countryW house with the flexibility and manageability of a smaller property. The principal house with its spacious and light filled reception hall, flanked as it is by the main entertaining rooms of drawing room, panelled sitting and dining room (with associated Butler’s pantry) all arranged in perfect symmetry, gives an imposing first impression. The kitchen is fully fitted with a four door oil fired Aga, Miele four ring conductor hob and double oven and off it there is a room which works either as a home office or supplementary sitting room. Leading out of the kitchen is a series of rooms including a larder, utility and boot room. A fine central staircase, three balusters to each step, turned and carved, leads to a landing on the first floor with a Chinese Chippendale pattern balustrade, two large bedrooms and associated bathroom as well as the master bedroom suite with its large bathroom and dressing room. The second floor is approached via centralised, panelled double-doors leading off the first floor landing and accommodates four bedrooms and a bathroom. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 First Floor Second Floor Lower Ground Floor WEST HANNEY HOUSE Approximate Gross Internal Area: Main House: 463.7 sq m / 4991 sq ft Cellar = 46.3 sq m / 498 sq ft Total = 510.0 sq m / 5489 sq ft (Including Eaves / Excluding Voids) Not to scale.

  • Charney Bassett Parish Council Report on the Community Speedwatch Initiative
    CHARNEY BASSETT PARISH COUNCIL REPORT ON THE COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH INITIATIVE 1. Background The Community SpeedWatch initiative focusses on education rather than enforcement and - uses trained volunteers at approved roadside sites with 30 mph limits, - monitors vehicle speed via a portable speed indication device. The equipment is deemed to be less confrontational than a speed gun. - ensures vehicles travelling at or above specified speed thresholds are reported to the police. - results in police advisory letters being sent to registered keepers of speeding vehicles. - enables the police to target enforcement activities at identified speeding hotspots. This report is submitted on behalf of village volunteers and covers the first full year of operations in Charney Bassett (plus a brief earlier training period) 2. Management The initiative is managed by the Faringdon East Neighbourhood Action Group which is responsible for two way liaison on police and community safety issues in an area covering Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor, Stanford in the Vale, The Hanneys and the surrounding villages) .

The participating villages are Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor, Stanford in the Vale, Littleworth, Longworth, Shellingford, West Hanney, Easrt Hanney and Charney Bassett.
