Description

This semi-detached home, positioned at the end of a tranquil close, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Backing onto serene parkland, the property's setting combines a peaceful rural atmosphere with proximity to the lively village of Pangbourne, just under one kilometre away. Here, residents can enjoy a variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as convenient access to the mainline railway station. Families will appreciate that Whitchurch Primary School is located within a mere 500 meters from the house. The location itself is notable for its picturesque charm and historical significance. Whitchurch on Thames lies along the banks of the River Thames, nestled within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Much of the village is designated as a Conservation Area, complete with an ancient church and local amenities including two friendly pubs. A listed toll bridge provides easy access to Pangbourne’s broader range of facilities. Inside, this residence features an entrance hall leading to a spacious lounge/dining room that opens up to the rear garden and deck—ideal for outdoor gatherings. The kitchen includes essential amenities while two generously sized double bedrooms offer comfortable living spaces. The bathroom completes this level. Potential buyers will notice that the property sits on a substantial plot, providing ample opportunity for expansion or modernization (subject to necessary consents). Outside, the corner position allows for an expansive rear garden laid predominantly to lawn. A newly constructed deck enhances outdoor living options and there’s also a practical brick outbuilding for additional storage or potential conversion projects. With parkland adjacent to the rear boundary, this garden not only offers privacy but also creates a natural backdrop. With all main services connected and gas central heating installed, this property represents a promising investment opportunity in an attractive area. The possibility for enhancement through renovations is significant, making it appealing for those looking to create their ideal home in an enviable location near both nature and community conveniences.
