DESCRIPTION: A charming detached house meticulously constructed in a Victorian style some 30 years ago. There is tremendous potential for extension if required subject to local authority planning permission. The property is situated within a peaceful close on high ground. Number 2 Stokes View has an excellent flow of accommodation from a spacious reception hall to the drawing room into the dining room and round into the kitchen. It`s a light, bright house with lots of character and is in excellent order throughout.

Local Facilities: M4 Junction 12 is approximately 5 miles. Within easy walking distance from Pangbourne village centre with its excellent shops, church, pubs, restaurants, health centre, dentist, banks, primary school, library, and station giving a fast train connection to London Paddington for the commuter. There is a first class fitness centre at Bradfield College that is open to membership with a very fine indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, squash courts and indoor tennis courts. There are also plenty of facilities for the golfing enthusiast in the area – Streatley Hills, Mapledurham and Calcot to name but a few. Horse riding stables and livery stables are a short driving distance at Buckhold and Upper Basildon. The large supermarkets and hypermarkets of Waitrose and Sainsbury`s super store are also within easy driving distance.

This is very much a thriving period village set upon the banks of the river Pang and the river Thames.

Tremendous potential : On the left hand and right hand side of the property to increase the size of the property and its accommodation if so desired subject to local authority planning permissions. The extension on each side if performed would not impinge on the beauty of the garden at all. It could create a substantially larger house if so desired.

Schools: There are excellent schooling facilities in the area – Pangbourne College and Bradfield College are within easy access, as are St Andrew`s Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School for Boys, Cranford House, Downe House and The Oratory preparatory and senior schools. There is a highly regarded primary school within walking distance and senior school with a bus pick up from Pangbourne to Theale.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS: The gardens have been laid down and landscaped with care and the property is located within the centre of its gardens. Facing south with the rear terrace benefiting from the westerly sun. The landscaping objective was to create a garden of many rooms, but still enabling a flow that has been achieved. The gardens are very secure, bounded by high hedges, walls and fencing. There is pretty summerhouse to one side of the well maintained lawns. There is also a vegetable garden and maintenance area cleverly placed to one side out of view but still easily accessible.
