Davis Street, Hurst, Reading, Berkshire, RG10

This picturesque, three bedroom detached cottage has original parts, we believe, dating from the 17th Century and offers a wealth of character and charm, with its rendered elevations under a thatched roof, and a contemporary feel internally. The property has vaulted ceilings to some of the rooms to create a feeling of space, and features a stylish fitted kitchen with solid oak work tops and cream faced cabinetry. The sitting room has a stove style, living flame gas fire and exposed beams. There is also a separate dining room and a useful utility room. The three double bedrooms all have fitted wardrobes and the shower room has been refitted with a low-profile shower tray with glass enclosure and tiled walls and floor. The main bedroom has concealed plumbing to create and en-suite if required in the future.
The gardens surround the south side of the property featuring a variety of hard and soft landscaping with an attractive circular, paved terrace with brick, topped well and gravelled edging with brick insets. A level lawn runs along the front of the cottage, with mature hedging on the boundary providing good privacy. The garden also features a superb, circular reed hut with conical roof, multipaned windows, ceramic tiled flooring with power and lighting, creating a superb entertaining space, games room or even home office.
There is also a large double garage with pitched room above, twin up and over doors, light and power plus pedestrian door to the rear leading out to a further garden area. The gravelled driveway to the front of the garage provides parking for about 3 -4 cars, accessed from the lane to the back of the property.
