**Location
**
The bustling village of Pangbourne on Thames lies on a bend of the River where
the River Pang joins, and is connected by an historic Toll Bridge to the
village of Whitchurch - on - Thames opposite in Oxfordshire which nestles 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 Kenneth Graham and his book ‘The Wind in the Willows’
which he wrote when living in the village.
An area of riverside land just to the east of the Toll Bridge was purchased by
the Parish in the 1930s and an additional portion was later acquired by the
National Trust and now all of this area is controlled by the Parish Council
and available for the Public to use for fishing, boating and leisure purposes.
Pangbourne is well served by a wide variety of shops and amenities including a
Co - op supermarket, wh Smith, Library, Dentist, modern Health Centre together
with traditional Inns, Restaurants and Hotels including The Elephant.
Importantly there a mainline station providing fast commuter services to
Reading (8 minutes) and up to Paddington (25 minutes).
In addition to having well revered local state primary and secondary
schooling, including a primary school within Pangbourne itself, 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.
N. B. Crossrail services have commenced from Reading which together with the
electrifying of the line has significantly improved travelling times to
central London destinations.
**Property description
**
St Donats is a semi - detached Edwardian Villa indicative of this favoured era,
having red brick under a clay tiled roof externally, alongside a pretty
veranda porch with tiled terrace. Whilst internally are most appealing period
features, the property would benefit from further improvement and there is
scope for enlarging, subject to planning permission.
The house is spacious and light, and affords traditionally laid out family
orientated accommodation, which extends to approximately 1, 877 sq ft
internally, with 4 reception rooms to the ground floor, and 4 bedrooms and a
bathroom to the first floor,
A simply charming and stunning period home, and must be viewed to fully
appreciate the wonderful opportunity afforded.
**Outside

The property nestles behind high and mature hedging, trees, and shrubs,
enjoying a private and sheltered position, whilst still being just a short hop
and walk to the extensive shops and amenities found within the village itself.
There is a driveway to the left of the property directly off the Reading Road.
The frontage is a mass of flowers, shrubs and trees and a short path leading
from the pavement up to the house.
To the rear there is a most delightful courtyard, which spans the width of the
property, with French doors opening out from both the kitchen / breakfast room
and the garden room, perfect for ‘Al Fresco’ dining.
The main gardens are south facing and laid to lawn, with a stunning array of
hedges, trees, shrubs and plants coming to life throughout the seasons, and
creating a haven to be enjoyed. There is a summer house with mains electricity
in need of refurbishment.
Simply stunning, the gardens offer a wonderful sanctuary which will be evident
upon viewing.
