ft LOCATION Located just to the West of Reading is the village of Pangbourne on Thames which lies on a bend of the River where the River Pang joins, and is connected by an ancient Toll Bridge to the village of Whitchurch in Oxfordshire nestling under the Chilterns Escarpment.

The surrounding countryside of the Berkshire Downlands and Chiltern Hills is designated an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”.

The stretch of river from Pangbourne upstream to Streatley, is forever associated with the well-known author Kenneth Graham and his book ‘The Wind in the Willows’ which he wrote when living in the village at Church Cottage just west of the churchyard.

An area of riverside land known as Pangbourne Meadow, lying just to the east of the Whitchurch Toll Bridge, was purchased by the Parish in the 1930s.

Subsequently an additional portion was acquired by the National Trust and all of this area is now controlled by the Parish Council and available for the public to use for fishing, boating and leisure purposes.

Pangbourne has an excellent range of local amenities, shops and facilities, including a Co-Op supermarket, WH Smith, Post Office, hardware store, high class Butcher, specialist Cheese shop, Library, an impressive Health Centre, Dentist, Opticians, together with Traditional Inns, Restaurants and Hotels including The Elephant formerly The Copper Inn.

There is also a mainline station providing fast commuter services to Reading (8 minutes) and up to Paddington (25 minutes).

The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of state and private schooling which includes not only the village Primary School, but also Pangbourne College, Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.

Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION High Corner is a beautifully redesigned individual property with well pointed generous accommodation.

Originating from the 1960’s, it was extended and modernised in 2012 with white rendered elevations and upper timber cladding.

With high specification interiors, including Walnut wood flooring to ground level, Anthracite grey windows and doors, Ethernet in all rooms, Philips Hue lighting system in most rooms and modern bathrooms and handmade kitchen it offers spacious family accommodation.

Entrance is into the reception hall with staircase and cloakroom. The hall gives access to all rooms and large windows allow for much light, which is a constant theme in the house.

The study has a fitted walnut desk and a double media cupboard containing all the workings of the property. Next to this is the family room with French doors leading out onto an undercover terrace.

The Kitchen breakfast room sits in the middle of the house and there are 2 roof lanterns and 2 sets of bi-fold doors giving spectacular garden views and a wonderful connection to outside.

A Corian breakfast bar naturally separates the dining area from the kitchen, which is handmade with integrated Miele appliances and there is a utility room with back door.

From the hall, steps take you down to the sitting room with inset Stovax wood burner and French doors accessing the paved terrace. Upstairs there is a spacious landing area with loft access.
