Set in a secluded hamlet with direct access to Crookham Common and Greenham Common, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers peaceful country living a short drive from Newbury. The single-storey layout is practical now and has approved planning permission to add a full second storey and ground-floor extension — an unusual opportunity to create a much larger family home.
Inside, the property feels comfortable and well-proportioned with a bright living room centred on a woodburner, an orangery/dining room with French doors to the garden, a functional kitchen, utility room and generous built-in storage. Two bathrooms (plus a separate WC) and three bedrooms give ready-made flexibility for family life, home working or guest space.
Externally the plot is a major asset: a large, multi-layered garden with decking, sheds and greenhouse backs onto woodland and offers scope for landscaping or extending outdoor living. Off-street parking is provided and the location benefits from fast broadband and straightforward road and rail commutes to Reading, Oxford and London.
Important practical facts: heating is oil-fired with a septic tank on site, council tax is above average (Band E) and the local crime rate is higher than average. The property is chain free, double-glazed and has good potential for enlargement under the granted planning permission, but buyers should allow for costs to build the approved second storey and any modernisation required.
