A very attractive semi-detached 4-bedroom Victorian house, with later additions. Ivy Villa is one of the largest houses in Thames Avenue, constructed on 3 floors. To the rear it backs onto and overlooks the playing fields and riverside meadows, and has a private gate at the end of the garden for easy access. The property is spacious, light and has high ceilings.

Set in one of the most popular roads in the heart of the village. Within easy level walking distance to station, shops, schools, and the River Thames, the property looks straight down Thames Avenue, and has an open aspect.

This is a very attractive Victorian property, which is spacious, with large windows giving lots of light, with high ceilings. This is an excellent family house.

In 2022, a new roof was fitted, with additional insulation to the 2nd floor rooms, and the chimneys repointed. There is lots of potential to extend the property to the side and rear to incorporate the existing lean to building, and kitchen/breakfast room to create a large kitchen/living room (subject to LAPP).

The sitting room is a very large and creates an impressive reception room, extending to some 31 feet in length and was originally two rooms. A steel support was, at great expense, invisibly embedded into the ceiling so that the dividing wall could be removed. This dividing wall could very simply and inexpensively be re-instated creating two rooms again if required, as two separate doors give access and both rooms would benefit from each having a beautiful art-deco fireplace.

Within easy walking distance to the village primary school, a fabulous selection of specialist shops, health centre, pubs, and restaurants. The station is a 5-minute walk and gives fast commuter links to London Paddington. The nearby playing fields and riverside meadows offer wonderful walks, the Thames Path, a children's play area, tennis courts, football pitches, a bowling club and Pangbourne Adventure Dolphin centre for canoeing, kayaking, SUP tuition and a climbing wall. There is also plenty of on street parking in Thames Avenue.
