SITUATION The quiet yet thriving English village of Harwell lies just a few miles outside of Didcot, affording an array of shops and eateries, including the village pub, The Hart Of Harwell, the village butchers, newsagents / convenience store, and community based amenities such as a village hall which now re-developed runs exercise classes to note, and has tiered seating for performances, the church, playground and sports facilities, and the village primary school. The village was first noted in 985, before the Doomsday Book, and Rose Cottage itself, is believed to date back to 1604. Many walking and bike paths lie surrounding the village, leading to the Ridgeway National Trail, being very popular with walkers, cyclists, and horse riders. The village hosts the annual ‘Harwell Feast’ high street parade and fair, which runs past the cottage itself. The nearby town of Didcot boasts an extensive array of high street shops, and a pedestrianized shopping precinct, including Marks & Spencer’s and Starbucks, to name but a few, a multiplex cinema, and a mainline railway station with multi-storey car park providing regular direct access to London in approximately 40 minutes. Recent bicycle routes lead from Harwell village to the station at Didcot as well, in addition to regular bus routes. There are good road communications nearby, with the A34 just a few miles away, and the M4 just 12 miles away, both serving to provide easy access across the country. In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and secondary schooling, including a primary school within the village 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. Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, with the full service scheduled to commence in 2021/22, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.
