The property operates on night storage heating. <br/>Council tax band: C<br/>Energy efficiency rating: E<br/><br/>Woolhampton is surrounded by stunning countryside, making it ideal for those seeking rural pursuits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It offers its own primary school, village shop and two good pubs, and there are plenty of canal side and country walks on the doorstep. The Rowbarge Inn was used in 1723 as a beer shop to serve the navvies who dug the Kennet and Avon Canal, and the modern swing bridge next to it is on the same site of one built at that time. Woolhampton is ideally situated for the commuter, with easy access to the M4 and mainline railway routes to Paddington, London from nearby Thatcham, Newbury or Reading.
