Summary - WARREN FARM RECTORY ROAD STREATLEY READING RG8 9QE
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Iconic five-bedroom farmhouse with 2.24-acre grounds and outbuildings near the Ridgeway.
Thatched Arts & Crafts farmhouse re-roofed with Ukrainian reed in 2021
An exceptional Arts and Crafts thatched farmhouse set within about 2.24 acres, The Warren combines strong period character with contemporary upgrades. The house offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms and extensive reception space, with original oak panelling, exposed beams and a recent reed thatch re-roof (2021) alongside new Cotswold casement windows and large 5m bifolds to maximise the view and connection to the garden and paddocks.
The grounds are a major asset: paddocks currently grazed by sheep, a natural swimming pond, productive vegetable and fruit gardens with a Rhino greenhouse, espalier apple trees, and multiple outbuildings including a barn, gym/studio, garden store and potting shed. Practical eco and utility features include solar panels, biofuel heating (wood pellets) with plantroom currently in the detached double garage, and bore hole water — all of which reduce running costs but require ongoing maintenance and specialist servicing.
This is a rare semi-rural family home for buyers wanting space, privacy and high-quality local schooling within commuting distance of Reading, Oxford and London. Note a few important practical points: the property uses a shared sewerage system; mains electricity but no mobile signal on site; oil remains listed as the main fuel source despite the biofuel system; and the gravel forecourt and outbuildings reflect working smallholding use. The house sits at the end of a private drive shared with four other properties, so while private and secluded it is not wholly isolated.
Overall The Warren will suit a buyer seeking a character-filled country home with versatile land and outbuildings, who is comfortable with the maintenance and operational requirements of thatch, biofuel plant and a large rural estate.
