LOCATION
Whitchurch Hill is a quiet, hilltop village lying some 450’ above sea level on the edge of the Chilterns Escarpment close to the Thames Valley, approximately 2 miles from Pangbourne on Thames with surrounding countryside designated an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’, yet benefitting from its own favoured pub, The Sun Inn, and a wonderful children’s park.
Traditionally timbered and thatched cottages overlook the village green and parish church of St Johns and there are many other period properties reflecting the differing architectural styles through the ages, which essentially form the character and history of this unspoilt rural community historically based on agriculture and farming.
At the bottom of the hill is the separate village of Whitchurch on Thames lying opposite to the village of Pangbourne on the Berkshire side of the river, and home to a well revered and outstanding primary school. Pangbourne offers excellent shopping facilities as well as a wide range of amenities including a mainline railway station which has excellent commuter services to Reading and up to London (Paddington) in under the hour. There is a regular daily bus service to Reading via Pangbourne from Woodcote with good road communications, particularly for Reading and the M4 motorway.
In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and secondary schooling, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular note; Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College, 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.
The major centres of Reading, Oxford, Newbury and Henley on Thames are all within easy driving distance as are the M4 and M40 Motorways.
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
22 Hill Bottom Close is a beautifully presented and contemporary family house, having been extended and refurbished by the current owners to offer a stylish property.
Careful planning and attention has been provided culminating in modern, open plan living.
Entrance is into a hall with a good sized cloaks cupboard and downstairs shower room. All internal doors are oak and Karndean flooring runs through from the hallway into the kitchen breakfast room. All the bathrooms are new suites and feature Hansgrohe fittings. The sitting room is at the front of the house and has fitted units either side of the newly installed wood burner. The hallway then continues, with garden views drawing you towards the kitchen and open plan dining room with lounge area. The kitchen is fully fitted with handleless units, quartz worktops and high specification appliances, including a Smeg hob and Elica extractor fan. There is an island, allowing for social dining and the room opens further allowing for a dining area and family seating area under a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows. The Schüco bi-fold doors offer a wonderful connection to outside and have integrated blinds. There is a separate utility room to the rear of the kitchen with useful back door. To one side of the kitchen are the stairs leading to the first floor and door to the family room which can also serve as an office or study benefitting from built in book shelves and cupboards.
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to all rooms and has loft access and a double airing cupboard. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room beyond. There are 3 further double bedrooms, 2 with built-in storage and a family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. With masses of light and generous rooms, the property is a perfect family home.

There are wooden gates to both sides of the property taking you through to the back garden. The garden is fully fenced and a beautiful addition to this fabulous home. A terrace runs across the back and offers a fabulous opportunity for “al fresco” dining and entertaining with filled railway sleeper boarders. A secondary seating area has been designed with a pergola for additional seating. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden has pretty planting of shrubs and small trees to the borders and an area of raised beds for fruit and vegetable growing plus Greenhouse.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 14, 2022
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 14, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
