LOCATION
The village of Woodcote, which lies just off the Reading to Oxford Road, is situated in an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty' surrounded by the scenic countryside of the Chilterns, with extensive beech woodlands and undulating fields. The village is some 500' (160 metres) above sea level and there are glorious far-reaching views from several parts of the village. Originally a small community based on farming and the countryside, Woodcote has grown substantially, especially during the 1960s and 1970s, is now a thriving village with a good range of local amenities including supermarket, nursery/garden centre, two public houses, modern health centre and excellent education facilities with two toddler playgroups, primary and secondary schools.
In addition to having well respected local state primary and secondary schools, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schools. 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.
Near the centre of the village is the Parish Church, which was rebuilt in 1846 in a Norman style on the site of the original Norman structure, with a few traces of original walling still surviving. Woodcote House, an historic country mansion built in the 1730s, now forms part of the Oratory School, standing in extensive park like grounds east of the main village. A variety of local activities appealing to young and old is based in the Village Hall and nearby Community Centre and they are well publicised in the monthly village newspaper, the Woodcote Correspondent, circulated to all local residents.
Woodcote has good road communications with easy access for Reading, Henley, Oxford and the M40 and M4 networks. For rail commuters there are mainline stations locally at Pangbourne and Goring on Thames, as well as Reading, all providing fast services up to London (Paddington).
Crossrail services have commenced from Reading which together with the electrifying of the line has significantly improved travelling times to Paddington and central London destinations.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Built in the early 2000s, 38 Whitehouse Road is a detached house of traditional build, with brick elevations and hanging tiles under a tiled roof. The entrance is under an open porch into a hallway, which has a cloakroom and turning staircase with understairs cupboard. The sitting room overlooks the front from a lovely bay window, and has a real-flame gas fire. Double doors lead directly from the sitting room to the family room at the back of the house, which has French doors into the garden. The dining room leads to the kitchen, creating a practical, spacious and sociable entertaining area. Doors from the kitchen lead to the garden and to the integral garage. The garage has a utility area, an electric up-and-over door with remote control, and a side door. Upstairs, the landing leads to the three bedroom suites. The master suite has full width built-in wardrobes and a bay window overlooking the front, as well as a large bathroom. Two further bedroom suites at the back of the house have built-in wardrobes and shower rooms. The ground floor boasts cosy under-floor heating, with radiators upstairs. The garage and main house both have a boarded loft with built-in ladder, providing excellent storage space. Solar panels on the rear roof provide free electricity to the house, while the surplus power provides some handy extra income.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
The property is approached through a five bar gate and onto a gravelled driveway, offering ample off-road parking as well as access to the garage. The mature front hedge is a traditional rural mix, offering an ever-changing variety of colours and fruits throughout the year. A side gate to the right leads to the rear garden, which is fully fenced and mainly laid to lawn. The rear garden enjoys a south-westerly aspect and includes a roomy gazebo. The rear terrace has an automatic electric awning, including lights and heating, giving opportunities for convivial ‘al fresco' dining throughout much of the year.
