Garden Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom detached home set in an expansive, private plot on the Hampshire/Berkshire border. Built in 2003 and finished to a high standard, the house offers generous family living spaces, a spacious basement, separate games room and useful secondary accommodation — ideal for multi-generational living or a home office. Bespoke oak joinery, underfloor heating and a high level of built-in automation give the property a comfortable, contemporary feel.
The house benefits from thoughtful technology including lighting control, electric curtains, Sonos and a concealed drawing-room projector for a private cinema experience. A south-facing loggia with overhead heating extends the living space outdoors and the large, mature gardens back onto open countryside, offering excellent privacy and safe play space for children. Nearby independent and state schools, plus easy road and rail links to Reading and Basingstoke, make the location practical for commuting families.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not a community system), and the advanced automation may need specialist maintenance or updating in future. Council tax banding is not provided and would need confirming. Overall, this is a rare, sizeable family home in a very affluent and peaceful rural setting, with strong schooling and commuting options.
