Location

Farley Hill is a picturesque village on the outskirts of Reading, set within the rural parish of Swallowfield. Surrounded by open countryside, mature woodland and historic properties like Farley Hall and Farley Court, the village offers a peaceful, community-oriented lifestyle. At its heart is the Victory Hall, a historic community hub that hosts local events and activities throughout the year. The village green and nearby walking trails provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, while the surrounding area is dotted with bridleways and scenic routes ideal for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers.
Families are well-served by the local Farley Hill Primary School, a welcoming and well-rated school known for its strong community feel. Secondary schools, including Bohunt Wokingham and Oakbank, are located in neighbouring areas and are easily accessible. Though Farley Hill enjoys a rural feel, transport links are convenient, with nearby train stations offering direct services to Reading and London, and bus routes connecting to local towns. The M3 and M4 motorways are also within easy reach, making commuting straightforward. For leisure, residents can take advantage of the cultural, shopping and dining offerings in Reading, while still enjoying the tranquillity and charm of village life.

Sellers view

"We originally purchased Brockendene, because it's a quiet village location but still very central to Wokingham, Reading and Hartley Wintney. The house is very secluded, but has great views. The layout of the house is ideal for family life with a lot of natural light."
