Wood Lane, Beech Hill, Berkshire

Wagtails is a handsome red brick and parttile- hung family home offering flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. It has exciting potential to further extend and re-configure, given the precedent set by neighbouring houses (subject to planning). There is an extremely spacious 400 square foot living room with a front and rear aspect, sliding door out to the garden and fitted bookcases and cabinetry. The kitchen is semi-open to the dining room with linked wooden flooring, modern units, striking black, Aga cooker, backed-up with an electric oven and hob and finally a door leading to the garden. Off the kitchen is a practical boot room with secondary, external side access for easy everyday use. Just beyond the kitchen is a single storey, outside room, which is currently plumbed to act as a utility and laundry room with potential to be integrated into the house.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms of which two are served by a generous family bathroom complete with a bath and separate shower. On the landing is a linen cupboard and access to a loft with a pull down ladder, currently utilised as storage space but we understand some neighbouring properties have extended into this space. The spacious, principal bedroom has a front and rear aspect with far-reaching, easterly views and an en-suite bathroom. The house has been freshly painted and new carpets fitted.

Set behind low-level walling and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a gravelled in-and-out, carriage, driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. The enclosed rear garden is laid mainly to lawn bordered by well-stocked flower beds, some specimen trees and a raised, south- easterly facing, paved terrace. Of note are an attached, brick-built garden store and wooden framed garden room with potential to be further developed.

Set on a small hill overlooking the Loddon Valley, the pretty village of Beech Hill has a duck pond and day-to-day amenities including a church, community hall and public house, the surrounding countryside renowned for its walking and riding routes. The nearby towns of Reading, Basingstoke, Bracknell and Newbury offer extensive shopping facilities including department stores, restaurants and comprehensive service, sporting and leisure amenities. Communications links are excellent with access to both the M4 & M3 motorways. Both Mortimer and in particular, Reading station offer regular services to central London.
The area offers a good range of state primary and secondary schooling together with a number of independent schools, including Crossfields, Ludgrove, St Neots, Daneshill, Bradfield College and Elstree.
