The Old School The property is a fine example of one of the older village schools in the country, originally called Mapledurham Church of England School built in 1830 for the vicar Reverend Augustus FitzClarence, the illegitimate son of King William IV and chaplain to his cousin, Queen Victoria. The school was eventually closed in 1973 and sold privately, only once changing hands in 1989. The accommodation retains many period features especially in the two main reception rooms which have high vaulted ceilings,exposed wooden floors and large windows. Situation The Old School stands at the base of the Chilterns in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the privately owned Mapledurham Estate close to the River Thames. The property is situated on a no-through road leading to the historic Mapledurham House and Watermill on the Thames. The surroundings belie its close proximity to Reading and Henley- on-Thames which offer extensive shopping, recreation and educational facilities. There are two public houses walking distance from the property. The pretty Thameside villages of Sonning-on-Thames, Goring- on-Thames and Pangbourne are all to be found within easy reach. Reading has an excellent mainline rail service to London (Paddington) taking approximately 25 minutes. The immediate countryside offers miles of extensive walking and riding. Racing may be enjoyed at Ascot, Windsor and Newbury. Extensive boating facilities are available on the River Thames and there are a number of fine golf courses including Caversham Heath, Henley and Badgemore Park. The area is well served for schools, including The Oratory,Bluecoat at Sonning, Queen Anne’s in Caversham, Shiplake College and Rupert House in Henley.
