Lying at the foot of the Berkshire Downlands, close to the River Thames is the fair sized village of Cholsey situated approximately 2 miles southwest of Wallingford and surrounded by a pleasant rural landscape designated an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’.

The original settlement dates back to Saxon times but since 1950 the Village has grown considerably from its modest origins centred around a small green known as ‘The Forty’ and now boasts a good range of shops and amenities including a Tesco Express supermarket with a Post Office, a general stores and newsagents, a ladies and gents hairdresser, a highly regarded butcher together with a wide range of trade services including an electrical wholesaler and contractor, a long established building company, plumbing and garden maintenance contractors. There are 2 Restaurants in the Village as well as 2 Public Houses serving food, a Veterinary Practice and a playing field hosting a variety of sports activities including football, tennis and cricket. There is also a well supported Village Golf Society. The Village also has Scout, Cub and Guide packs and an excellent Village Primary School as well as a number of play, nursery and toddler groups for young mums.

Importantly the Village has a mainline railway station with fast, regular commuter services up to London (Paddington) in well under the hour via Reading (20 minutes) and up to Oxford. On the Southern edge of the Village is an impressive Viaduct designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1840. The late Poet Laureate John Masefield lived at Lollingdon House located just to the West of the Village. The Parish Church of St Mary’s, built in 1130, has some of the finest Norman work in the district, including an unspoilt early English chancel and in the church yard can be seen the grave of Agatha Christie.

In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and secondary schooling, including a primary school within Cholsey 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.

The historic old market town of Wallingford on Thames, granted a charter in 1155 by Henry II is within easy reach and offers a wider and more comprehensive range of shops and amenities, including a new large Waitrose Supermarket as well as a family owned departmental store.

Crossrail services have commenced from Reading, which together with the electrifying of the line has significantly improved travelling times to Paddington and central London destinations.
