The mainline train stations are at Newbury and Didcot with trains in London Paddington on a regular basis. There is a wonderful network of footpaths/bridle paths for walking and riding leading from the village. There is a good Primary school in the village of East Ilsley and both private and state schools in the locality close by including The Downs School in Compton, Bradfield College, Brockhurst and Marlston House School, St Gabriels School, Elstree, Cheam and Abingdon School to name a few.
To the front of the property there is a gravel area with 2 allocated parking spaces. The cottage has well-maintained flower beds and a cosy seating area.
