Oakhill House is a splendid, individually designed character modern house situated within the heart of this famous Thameside village. It is a perfect combination of traditional design and materials, with contemporary features and styling.

Designed to the exacting requirements of the present owners, the exterior is traditionally constructed with red clay brick and knapped flint under a handmade red clay tiled roof, with an imposing oak and glazed central entrance. Standing on high ground, a short walk along a footpath with street lighting to the centre of the vibrant village of Pangbourne, with its specialist shops, good transport links and River Thames.

Courtlands Hill has long been noted as one of the most important residential private roads within Pangbourne, with a mix of individually designed modern and period properties, each set back within their own grounds from this pretty avenue lined with trees.
