LOCATION
The Thameside village of South Stoke situated between Reading and Oxford, lies on the East bank of the river, set between the Berkshire Downlands and the Chilterns in Oxfordshire in the wide River valley opposite the village of Moulsford, surrounded by scenic rural countryside designated as an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”.

Largely unspoilt having only a limited amount of modern development, the village has a fine main street with many interesting period properties, some dating from the 16th century. Historically the village retains a close connection with Christchurch College in Oxford who were given land and property by Henry VIII at the time of the Reformation in the Middle Ages and as a result of this the timeless country way of life survives even today. Local amenities include a highly regarded traditional Inn “The Perch & Pike”, a C. of E. Primary School, a village hall, shop and recreation ground, and regular bus services to Wallingford and Reading. The bus service also connects with train services to Reading and Paddington. The River Thames is within easy walking distance at each end of the village offering recreational facilities including walks along the Tow Path to Goring and Wallingford.

The historic Ridgeway Path also runs through the village, having crossed the river at Goring on Thames from Streatley, continuing along the riverbank to North Stoke where it leaves the Thames and continues up onto the Chilterns and the Icknield Way.

The nearby village of Goring on Thames offers more comprehensive shopping facilities, a modern health centre, a dentist, library, a veterinary centre, several “Olde Worlde” Inns, a Boutique Hotel, range of restaurants, a fabulous Riverside Bistro/Café, and a mainline railway station providing fast commuter services to Reading and London (Paddington) in well under an hour. There are excellent road communications with easy access to Henley, Wallingford, Reading and Oxford as well as the M4 and M40 Motorways.
