House For Sale £1,950,000
Redwoods is a substantial detached period house, set in the centre of the desirable village of Mortimer Common. With its handsome red brick elevations outside and elegant styling inside, this splendid family home, formerly a vicarage, features plenty of character and spacious, flexible accommodation, including a two-bedroom annexe.
The main house has a welcoming reception hall and three ground-floor reception rooms, including the stylish drawing room, which welcomes plenty of natural light and features an open fireplace. There is also a well-proportioned family room and a formal dining room for family meals or entertaining guests. The kitchen and breakfast room has bespoke wooden units to base and wall level, a central island with a breakfast bar and a stainless steel range cooker.
The first floor has four comfortable and well-presented double bedrooms, as well as a dressing room, which could be used as a fifth bedroom if required. There is a family bathroom and shower room on the first floor, while the ground floor provides a further shower room. A second-floor attic room provides valuable storage space. The house offers potential for development, with planning permission in place to extend the kitchen with an orangery, and to add double doors and a balcony to the attic room. Additionally, the main bedroom has drainage in place for an en-suite if required.
The self-contained annexe provides useful additional accommodation, including a sitting room, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, two bedrooms and two shower rooms, one of which is a wet room designed for disabled access.
The property lies in the heart of the popular village of Mortimer Common, eight miles south of Reading. A peaceful location, eight miles from Reading and surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. Mortimer Common provides a number of everyday amenities, including a post office, local shops, a pharmacy and local pubs and restaurants. Reading, with its excellent selection of shops, leisure and cultural facilities, is easily accessible. The village has infants and junior schools, with the nearest secondary in Burghfield Common. The independent Daneshill School, Padworth College and Alder Bridge School are all within the surrounding area. The area is well connected by road, with the M4 just five miles away, while Mortimer mainline station, a mile away, offers services to London Paddington via Reading, and Waterloo via Basingstoke.
The property is approached via a gravel driveway, which provides plenty of parking at the front of the house and access to the garaging blocks, for further parking, as well as storage and workshop space. The garden surrounding the house is mostly laid to lawn, with borders of mature trees and established hedgerow. The sunny, south-facing area to the rear of the house has paved terracing, which is ideal for al fresco dining.
