LOCATION

The village of Ashampstead, known in the 13th and 14th centuries as Esshamstede, lies in an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ high up on the Berkshire Downlands surrounded by a delightful countryside, a large portion of which is owned and farmed by the Yattendon Estates with neat hedgerows and crops in rotation.

Small and largely unspoilt, the village retains its quiet country charm with the principal local industries still being farming and forestry. There is a village green and around the central part of the village are a number of interesting listed properties, many dating from the 16th century and the Church of St Clement dates from the 12th century with 13th century frescoes and a 15th century wooden bell turret, with the remaining bell bearing the inscription ‘Henry Knight made me in 1662’.

There are many bridleways and footpaths in the surrounding area and the village enjoys good road communications, being located just off the B4009 road which runs across the downs from Newbury to Streatley on Thames. The M4 motorway can easily be reached at either junction 12 or 13 and the A34 dual carriageway, linking Newbury with Oxford is within easy driving distance. For rail commuters there are local stations at Goring-on-Thames and Pangbourne providing excellent services up to London (Paddington) in under the hour.

Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.

The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of state and private schooling which includes not only the well revered Hampstead Norreys Primary School and The Downs Secondary School in Compton, but also 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.

Yattendon 2 miles away offers a vibrant Village Stores and Post Office in the village square together with both a hotel/pub The Royal Oak inn and a cafe, The Pantry.  Renegade Brewery is located nearby at Frilsham Home Farm on the outskirts of the village.
