 Private Driveway Parking  Garage LOCATION Whitchurch Hill is a quiet, hilltop village lying on the edge of the Chilterns Escarpment close to the Thames Valley approximately 2 miles  Delightful Mature Gardens & Grounds from Pangbourne on Thames with the surrounding countryside designated an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”. 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 Freehouse 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, which boasts a highly rated C. of E. Primary School and two popular Inns. Pangbourne on the Berkshire side of the River offers excellent shopping facilities including a co-op supermarket as well as a wide range of amenities including a mainline railway station with frequent commuter services to Reading and London (Paddington). There is a regular daily bus service to Reading from Woodcote via Pangbourne as well as good road communications particularly for Reading, Henley on Thames, Oxford, Newbury and both the M.40 and M4 motorway networks. Hillbottom Close located on the North Eastern edge of Whitchurch Hill in the part called Hill Bottom, comprises a small cul-de-sac of differing detached houses and bungalows which enjoy a pleasant, quiet, and safe aspect, being mainly arranged around a large circular Green fringed by Cherry Trees noted for their prolific Spring Blossom. N.B. Each householder pays a nominal sum towards the upkeep of the central Green.
