Favourably positioned at the end of a non through road the property is well placed to take advantage of the surrounding countryside and is within walking distance (0.8 miles) of the local pub & restaurant, school and children’s park. The property is conveniently located for the M4, with junction 12 being a short 10 minute drive away, whilst the village of Pangbourne, with its shops, restaurants and its mainline station is only 2 miles away.

The property has been well looked after and improved by its current owners with improvements being too numerous to mention. Occupying a sensibly sized plot the property, inside and out, feels spacious and well thought out. Entering the property accommodation feels light and airy and flows well from room to room.

Ground floor accommodation is comprised of an entrance hall, benefitting from ceramic tiles, which leads to the living room, which benefits from patio doors leading to the outside kitchen, Karndean flooring and a new inset hearth. The entrance hall also leads to an open plan kitchen / diner which feels like the heart of this family home.

The property benefits further from a double garage which has power and light and which could offer conversion and extension potential (subject to the usual planning constraints) to the front there I off road parking for multiple cars.

It is also noteworthy that there has been a successful consultation with stakeholders about Basildon CoE Primary joining the Downland Federation. Basildon Primary has joined the federation as of the start of the Autumn term 2023. Families within the Federation who live outside the designated catchment area of The Downs School, will have higher preference in the admissions criteria than those families outside catchment from other schools.

This property represents a rarely available opportunity to acquire a three double bedroom property in this desirable village that is finished to the highest of standards.
