LOCATION
Bowden Green is a rural hamlet located 1 mile outside the bustling village of Pangbourne on Thames which lies on a bend of the River where the River Pang joins, and is connected by an historic Toll Bridge to the village of Whitchurch-on-Thames opposite in Oxfordshire which nestles under the Chilterns Escarpment. The surrounding countryside of the Berkshire Downlands and Chiltern Hills is designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. The stretch of River from Pangbourne upstream to Streatley, is forever associated with Kenneth Graham and his book ‘The Wind in the Willows’ which he wrote when living in the village.
Pangbourne is well served by a wide variety of shops and amenities including a Co-op supermarket, WH Smith, Library, Dentist, modern Health Centre together with traditional Inns, Restaurants and Hotels including The Elephant.  Importantly there a mainline station providing fast commuter services to Reading (8 minutes) and up to Paddington (25 minutes).
In addition to having well revered local state primary and secondary schooling, including a primary school within Pangbourne itself, 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.
Crossrail services have commenced from Reading which together with the electrifying of the line has significantly improved travelling times to central London destinations.
