The desirable village of Checkendon is situated in scenic wooded countryside on high ground between Woodcote and Henley on Thames in the North Chilterns “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”. There is good road access for surrounding towns especially Reading and Oxford as well for both the M4 and M40 motorways.
Largely unspoilt and benefiting from little intrusive modern development, the village which was mentioned in the Domesday Book c.1086 retains it’s rural charm and boasts a well-supported cricket club with its own sports ground, a high Ofsted rated C of E Primary School and the Black Horse pub in the wood. In the small High Street overlooking a lawned Green there are several timbered period cottages depicting it’s rich architectural heritage and the village also boasts a notable mansion, Checkendon Court, which originally dates from Tudor times, together with one of the finest Norman churches in the county, noted for it’s 13th century wall paintings and semi-circular apse.
In addition to local well revered primary and secondary schools, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of both state and private schooling, of particular note; The Oratory Preparatory, The Oratory, Cranford House, Moulsford Preparatory, Pangbourne College, Abingdon Boys and The School of St Helen & Katharine.
For rail commuters Reading with its mainline station and fast services up to London (Paddington approximately 25 minutes) is within easy driving distance. In 2019 Crossrail services are scheduled to be commencing from Reading which together with the electrifying of the line will significantly improve travelling times to Paddington and central London destinations.
