This bungalow could be the subject of a restoration and doeshave a detailed planning permission for an elegant individualnew detached house. The present property was probablyconstructed in the 30’s and is at the momenttenanted and perfectly liveable.

Local Facilities: This is a very convenient area to live, yet witheasy access to large commercial centres of Reading, New-bury, Basingstoke and London, this is very much a rural spot tolive – near people, not isolated, yet completely private andsurrounded by some of the most magnificent lightly woodedunspoilt countryside to be found in this part of the world.

It is not only Pangbourne offering excellent shopping facilities;there is also Thatcham which has a station and a Waitrose.There is another Waitrose just outside Pangbourne at Tilehurstand a Sainsbury’s hypermarket at Calcot just the other side ofJunction 12 at Theale.
