Set behind electronic gates on roughly three acres, this Edwardian five-bedroom detached home combines period proportions with modern family living. The ground floor centres on generous reception rooms and a contemporary Beckermann kitchen that opens via bifold doors to an Indian sandstone terrace and south-facing lawns — ideal for children and large-scale entertaining. The indoor pool complex with steam room and mezzanine gym is a standout leisure amenity for all-weather use.
Sleeping accommodation is arranged across the first floor with five double bedrooms, three en suites and a principal suite with dressing room. High ceilings, box bay windows and a series of large windows deliver strong natural light throughout. There is useful attic storage and outbuildings, with the potential to extend or reconfigure subject to planning and building consents.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the home’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated as built, so upgrading insulation may be required; the indoor pool and pool plant will carry ongoing maintenance costs; and the property sits in the highest council tax band. Any conversion of attic or further alterations will require the usual consents.
Well placed for a range of highly regarded schools and with easy road and rail links to Reading, Farnborough and London, the house will suit an established family seeking privacy, generous reception space and substantial grounds with formal and productive garden areas. The combination of period character and contemporary fittings offers immediate comfort with clear potential to tailor the house to long-term family needs.
