Kintbury and Inkpen

Once a busy industrial canal wharf, Kintbury is now a picture of tranquillity.

It’s just the place to start exploring the beautiful Kennet & Avon Canal.

It has fantastic local amenities and is surrounded by beautiful countryside offering wonderful walking, riding and cycling opportunities.

There is a thriving local community and the facilities in the village include a village shop, doctors’ surgery, primary school, popular gastropub, village hall and a very active sports and indoor leisure centre including tennis and lawn bowls clubs as well as a station providing a direct train service into London Paddington.

Nearby Hungerford offers excellent further facilities including a Tesco’s supermarket, and there is a good choice of cafes, pubs and shops in both Hungerford and Marlborough.

Newbury caters for most other everyday needs, and also offers a good choice of leisure activities including racing at Newbury racecourse, several nearby golf courses and the popular Watermill Theatre.

Road and rail connections are very good, with easy access to the A34 and M4 linking with London and the West Country, and excellent commuting options by train from Kintbury.

There are a wide range of highly regarded schools in the area including Kintbury St Mary’s Primary School in the village itself, Cheam, Elstree, Horris Hill, Thorngrove, Brockhurst and Marlston House, Bradfield College, Downe House, St Gabriel’s and Marlborough College
