This Westbuild "Shire Cottage" is a spacious, well-presented four-bedroom detached home on a large, secluded plot in Emmer Green. The house combines Tudor Revival character—exposed beams, leadlight windows and a brick fireplace—with contemporary fittings including a granite-finished kitchen, quality bathrooms and an insulated, heated 19ft external home office.
Ground floor living is versatile: a 23ft living room linking to a vaulted garden room, dining room, study and a 19ft kitchen/breakfast area. Upstairs offers a galleried landing, four bedrooms (ensuites to bedrooms one and two) and a family bathroom. The property benefits from a double garage with electric door and a block-paved driveway behind electrically operated double gates.
Gardens are level, private and south-westerly, with a large paved patio and mature planting. The house is presented to a high standard and ready for immediate occupation, while the outside office adds substantial home-working or leisure potential. Transport links are strong for commuters, with Reading station and fast connections to London (Paddington c.25 minutes).
Practical points to note: the property is Council Tax Band G, which is relatively costly. The plot and finished fittings will suit families or buyers seeking a character home with modern conveniences; those seeking a low-maintenance apartment or single-level living may find the house larger than required.
