House For Sale £800,000
Luxury Rural Lifestyle - peaceful views and an irresistible twist of character and modern styling.
The old farm buildings of James Farm were carefully converted in recent years, and now offer a peaceful setting with quirky and unique charm. Set in a country lane with surrounding farmland, this is an ideal find for those wanting to escape from stress and urban living.
Known as Rupert's Barn, this spacious home overlooks green space, and is beautifully proportioned to meet the needs of most life-stages. It's also fully equipped for comfort throughout the changing seasons (and has a B energy performance rating).
When the winter starts to bite, there's efficient central heating (including under floor heating downstairs), a wood-burning stove and high-performance double glazing throughout. In the summer, the living room French doors open to the garden (over a stream), and there's a lovely Juliet balcony in one of the bedrooms.
The open plan kitchen features a large central island, two sinks (one with a 'Quooker' boiling water tap), gas hob, breakfast bar, integrated appliances and a high roof window. The laundry room is fitted in tasteful grey units, a utility sink, and has underfloor heating to help with the drying process.
Whether you're a homebody or an avid host, the sociable space downstairs flows and flexes for all occasions. With bifold doors between the lounge and dining room, there's instant entertaining space or a quick switch to a cosier setting. The kitchen is also large enough for entertaining, and there's a handy cloakroom downstairs.
Upstairs is a family bathroom and four individual bedrooms (each has different rural view). The master bedroom has bespoke wardrobes and luxury bathroom with bath / shower.
For fitness, teens or working from home, there's a versatile garden cabin with blow heater and cooling system. A natural stream runs between the garden and house, and the two delightful timber footbridges make the most of this feature . The garden, which is completely secluded, features a barbecue area, automated lighting and a hot tub station.
Unusually for the countryside, there's Ultrafast Broadband availability (download speeds up to 1000Mpbs, and upload speeds up to 1000Mbps). The sellers inform us this property is on the Gigaclear network.
Outside, there are two parking bays alongside the property, with additional parking within the James Farm community.
A Few Words from Quarters
"As practical as it is pretty, Rupert's Barn may look 'cottagey' but internally it has more living space than the average four bedroom home. We think this will appeal to anyone who's looking for low-maintenance and who wants to breathe the country air.
Although it's certainly rural, James Farm is part of a small community, and the nearby Old Bell pub is a healthy walk away. The nearest train station is Mortimer (just under two miles) and the newly built Reading Green Park Station is just over two miles away.
The new owners can look forward to living 'in the sticks' but easily reach the M4 by car in around 5 minutes. Both Basingstoke and Reading are within easy reach too.
We know this home is pretty special, so we're looking forward to viewings. Please get in touch with Nick or Teresa for more details or to book your 'tour'!"
