Woolton Hill is an extremely sought after village and there is a thriving community, which benefits from very good local facilities including a shop/post office, church, doctors’ surgery, a pub, a tennis club, a monthly village market and excellent local schools. Further afield there are independent schools such as Downe House, Cheam and Horris Hill to name a few. Newbury itself is just 6 miles away and provides an excellent wider range of amenities including Waitrose, Marks & Spencer, numerous gyms, golf clubs and Newbury racecourse.
