Summary - SHIRE COTTAGE, HILLFIELDS FARM, PARK WALL LANE, READING, LOWER BASILDON RG8 9PE
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Luxury five-bedroom country home on a large secluded plot, ready to personalise.
Private elevated plot with far-reaching Thames Valley views
Set within an exceptionally private rural setting overlooking the Thames Valley, this five-bedroom detached new-build combines high-spec, modern-rustic design with generous outdoor space. Shire Cottage is one of seven luxury homes on Hillview — groundwork and footings are complete, so the build can progress quickly and buyers can personalise finishes and layouts. The completed homes on the development show the intended quality: high ceilings, timber cladding, brickwork and expansive landscaped grounds.
The plot is unusually large for a new build in the area and sits in a very low-crime, affluent hamlet with excellent mobile and fast broadband — practical for remote working. The main house offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, garage parking and multi-storey living across approximately 2,454 sq ft. There is no flood risk and the property is freehold.
Planning permission is already in place for the 5-bedroom house; a Section 73 application to enlarge the ground-floor living space is in progress. Buyers may choose to add the larger extension shown in the promotional images, but this will incur an additional cost and depends on the amendment being approved. The sale suits buyers who want a near turn-key new home yet value the chance to select internal finishes and layouts.
This is a strong opportunity for families or executive buyers seeking privacy, countryside views and modern rural living close to well-regarded schools. Note that while the development is high specification, the house is offered at the planning/build stage rather than as a completed, furnished property — some specification choices remain to be made by the purchaser.
