House For Sale £500,000
Parkers - 360' virtual tour available - Probably one of the most unique and charming properties that we have had the pleasure selling in recent years. Surrounded by miles of countryside, yet within a couple of miles of all amenities and benefiting from its own tower is this three bedroom character home.
Built in 1803 the property forms part of the Maidenhatch estate, formerly owned by the Tate & Lyle family, the property was originally stabling for horses before being converted into residential accommodation incorporating a water tower in the Victorian era.
Favourably positioned, the property is surrounded by countryside and woodland which offers tranquillity but not isolation. The villages of Pangbourne and Theale are both close with their bustling high streets containing shops and restaurants along with mainline stations serving London Paddington. Excellent private and state schools are within a short drive and junction 12 of the M4 is close.
Accessed via a tree lined private road with cattle grazing in adjacent fields, the property is nestled in woodland and has a peaceful feel. Grade II listed, the property is full of character and retains many original features – high ceilings, stone mullion windows, a feature fireplace and the impressive and unusual tower.
Entering the property accommodation feels peaceful, light and airy and is of generous proportions. Ground floor accommodation is comprised of a porch which leads in to a dual aspect kitchen / dining room with more than enough space for a dining table. Leading off from the kitchen is a good sized living room that benefits again from a dual aspect, an open hearth and French doors to the courtyard at the rear.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms, one front aspect and one rear, there is also a family bathroom. The second floor located in the tower contains the master bedroom which is dual aspect, enjoys far reaching country views and is of generous proportions. The master bedroom benefits from en-suite facilities, which include a rolltop bath. A staircase leads to the third floor which consists of a large space that currently houses two water tanks, one of which is redundant and could be removed to create an additional bedroom.
The property benefits from courtyard parking, an adjacent garage and use of communal grounds and orchard. It also benefits from its own small, yet private, garden situated 30 seconds walk from the property.
This property represents a truly unique opportunity to acquire a property full of character in a unique and exclusive setting.
