Set in a highly sought after position on the western fringes of Tilehurst, neighbouring the desirable villages of Purley on Thames and Sulham, this exceptional home occupies a wonderfully secluded setting at the end of a long private driveway. Tucked away from passing traffic, the property immediately impresses with its sense of privacy, scale and versatility, offering generous accommodation that can be configured as five to seven bedrooms or, alternatively, five bedrooms complemented by up to five reception rooms to suit modern family living or multi-generational needs.

The location is superb, combining semi rural tranquillity with everyday convenience. Reputable schools, miles of open countryside, scenic riverside walks and the charm of Pangbourne village with its wide range of independent shops, cafés and amenities are all close at hand. Tilehurst railway station provides direct links to Reading and onward connections to central London, while the local community barn and sports and social club offer excellent recreational facilities nearby.

Internally, the property is thoughtfully arranged and beautifully proportioned. A welcoming hallway leads to a ground floor WC, a comfortable living room and a study, while the heart of the home is undoubtedly the magnificent open plan, fully fitted kitchen and dining space. Complete with a substantial central island, this area flows seamlessly into a family room, both enjoying direct access onto the rear garden and creating an ideal setting for entertaining and everyday living. A utility room adds practicality and two further reception rooms provide excellent flexibility, equally suited as additional living spaces, home offices or ground floor bedrooms if required.

A contemporary staircase rises to the first floor, where a spacious landing gives access to five well appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a generous four-piece en suite bathroom with separate shower, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, ensuring comfort and convenience for all.
