House For Sale £575,000
PARKERS - Unique opportunity exists to acquire a three bedroom, period, Canalside property which dates back to 1817 and that is finished to a high, contemporary standard.
Favourably positioned on the edge of the Kennet canal the property is well placed to take advantage of all the area has to offer. The mainline station, giving direct access to Reading, Newbury and Paddington, is within a short walk whilst the Butt Inn pub & restaurant is close by. Junction 12 of the M4 is a 7 minute drive. There are also miles of public footpaths and canal side walks on the properties doorstep along with the Aldermaston tea rooms.
Built in 1817 the property was once two separate cottages that were amalgamated into one property many years ago, the result of which is the creation of a character cottage with a generous amount of accommodation. The property has been in its current ownership for the last 6 years and has been the subject of much love and updating during this time. Improvements include, but are not limited to, a new kitchen, new bathroom, replastering and redecoration throughout.
Entering into the property there is a real not to the old with plenty of character features, whilst the decoration is modern and contemporary. Ground floor accommodation is comprised of an entrance hall which leads to a dual aspect dining room which benefits from an open hearth and canal views. Leading off from the dining room there is a separate front aspect living room which again benefits from a functioning hearth. At the rear of the property there is a well-appointed kitchen with more than enough space for a breakfast bar. Further accommodation is comprised of a utility room and downstairs cloakroom.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, two of which benefit from a pleasing dual aspect which provide canal views . There is also a refitted bathroom.
Outside and to the rear there is a courtyard, with space for alfresco seating and dining, which leads to a lawned garden containing herbaceous borders. Within the garden is a Shepherds hut which benefits from power, light and drainage and is perfect for guests. It could also have Air B&B potential.
There are plans for off road parking which can be explained verbally.
This property represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a character cottage with pleasing and interesting views in this much loved area of West Berkshire.
