“Meticulously crafted to the highest standard by multi-award-winning Shanly Homes, each property blends timeless architecture with high-spec interiors, energy efficiency and thoughtful touches that make all the difference to everyday life.
“A village rooted in aviation history, White Waltham surrounds De Havilland Place with character, community and enduring beauty.
“The village has flourished from a medieval farming hamlet into one of Berkshire’s most cherished villages. Its Norman-arched church, cricket green and thatched cottages paint an idyllic backdrop for a long history of innovation.
“Most notable was the role the village played in the Second World War. It all began in the Thirties, when Fairey Aviation chose grassland on the outskirts of the village for test flights.
“Establishing the airfield paved the way for the site to be chosen as the Air Transport Auxiliary Headquarters when the war began. This essential team co-ordinated men and women from around the world as they ferried thousands of aircraft between factories and frontline squadrons, playing an invaluable role in the war effort.
“Today the West London Aero Club rules the skies, offering leisure flights above the Thames Valley, but the important heritage of the site continues to be remembered.” White Waltham is situated 3.5 miles west of Maidenhead and approximately 9.4 miles to the south-east of Henley. In addition to White Waltham Airfield and Pondwood Fisheries, there is a primary school, the Beehive gastropub, a farm shop, St Mary’s Church and the village’s own cricket pitch.
Nearby hamlet Shottesbrooke has a Grade I listed 14th century church, St John the Baptist.
The next village of Waltham St Lawrence has a parish church and is home to 15th century pub the Bell, bequeathed to the village in 1608 by Sir Ralph Newbery. There are walks, cycle routes and horse-riding paths in the area.
