LOCATION
The village of Woodcote, which lies just off the Reading to Oxford Road, is situated in an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ surrounded by the scenic countryside of the Chilterns, with extensive beech woodlands and undulating fields. The village is some 500’ (160 metres) above sea level and there are glorious far-reaching views from several parts of the village. Originally a small community based on farming and the countryside, Woodcote has grown substantially, especially during the 1960s and 1970s, is now a thriving village with a good range of local amenities including supermarket, nursery/garden centre, two public houses, modern health centre and excellent education facilities with two toddler playgroups, primary and secondary schools.

In addition to having well revered local state primary and secondary schooling, 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.
Near the centre of the village is the Parish Church, which was rebuilt in 1846 in a Norman style on the site of the original Norman structure, with a few traces of original walling still surviving. Woodcote House, an historic country mansion built in the 1730s, now forms part of the Oratory School, standing in extensive park like grounds east of the main village. A variety of local activities appealing to young and old are based in the Village Hall and nearby Community Centre and which are well publicised in the monthly village newspaper, the Woodcote Correspondent, circulated to all local residents.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
48 West Chiltern is a delightful link detached house situated in a tucked away position on the very fringe of the development.  Having been traditionally constructed with brick elevations under a tiled roof, the current owners have significantly improved it over the years by completely refurbishing the property, including extending out at the rear.  A wide covered porch leads to the entrance with front door into the hallway with utility cupboard, cloakroom and staircase.  Laminate flooring runs through into the sitting room which overlooks the front garden and is light and spacious . The kitchen is fully fitted with breakfast area, then opening out into a family room with large rood lantern.  Bi-fold doors lead onto the terrace, perfect for “al fresco” dining.  Off the kitchen is a utility area with glass roof.  There are doors at each end, for direct garden access without having to go through the house.  The boiler is located in a cupboard within the utility room and there is also a water softener.
Upstairs the ceilings are vaulted in places and there are 3 double bedrooms and 1 single bedroom as well as a family bathroom with bath and overhead shower.  The accommodation is stylish and presented in lovely order throughout, extending to approximately 1,517 sq ft, and in a pretty private position, an early viewing is advised.

OUTSIDE
There is a pathway from the road leading down to the property which is quietly tucked away.  A hedged frontage and shaped shrubs provide extra privacy and there is a paved seating area with low shed.  The main garden is at the rear.  Fully fenced, it has a large grassed area with 2 trees and a terrace coming directly off the back which compliments the property.
From the house, there is a path to the right leading round to 4 garages.  The garage for 48 is found second in on the left.
