Northfield Avenue, Lower Shiplake

Tucked away in the village up a long drive, a comfortable and spacious family home with light and bright accommodation of over 2800 sq ft.

Northcote Lodge - This fine family home was built about 10 years ago and lies in a very private location in the centre of the village. All the rooms are light and bright and well-proportioned with five reception rooms. There are polished oak floors and high ceilings throughout adding to the light and airy feel.

The well-fitted kitchen has fitted appliances, a large central island and a utility room with back door. The conservatory doubles as a daytime sitting room and breakfast room with views over the garden. The sitting room has an open fireplace and doors to the terrace and dining room. Library shelves line the walls of the study and there is also a music room to the front.

Upstairs, each of the four bedrooms are of good size with the main bedroom having lovely views over the garden and an en-suite shower room. There is a second en-suite and a well-fitted family bathroom.

Garden - The long driveway leads to electric gates and into the spacious driveway. The double garage has an electric door and plenty of room for two cars. The gravel drive is edged with mature trees and shrubs giving privacy and seclusion. A path leads round to the South-facing rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with trees and hedging providing screening. There is a generous paved terrace ideal for summer entertaining.

Location - Lower Shiplake is a very popular Thameside village with local amenities including a village shop/post office, butcher, garage and The Baskerville, an award-winning pub and restaurant.
