5 bed detached house for sale

Attwood Drive, Arborfield, Reading, Berkshire RG2

Elegant living - This fabulous detached family home is brilliantly positioned in a cosy close within the spectacular Penrose Park development and comes to the market with no onward chain complications.

As you approach, you can't help but be impressed by the design of these houses. It's incredibly striking, and the great thing here is just how private this particular position feels. The house faces onto well-kept, mature hedges and trees, giving it a wonderfully leafy feel. Directly next to the property is a play park, plus the end of the street links to large playing fields, which adds to the obvious family-friendly appeal of the location.
The development itself boasts a tremendous street scene and has been very well maintained, while the location gives you a choice of scenic running routes and walks accessible straight from the doorstep. There is easy access to the Co-op convenience store and the new Sainsbury's in Arborfield, as well as straightforward connections into Wokingham and Reading and, of course, the motorway network. It's a terrific spot for schools too, with the property falling into catchment for Farley Hill and Bohunt schools, both within a short walk.

Internally, the property presents very well throughout and offers an impressive amount of space arranged over three floors. The layout is particularly well thought out, giving you a really good balance of space and versatility. On the ground floor, there is a generous kitchen/breakfast room, recently refitted and including integrated appliances. Usefully there is a separate utility room, including practical storage. There is a cosy living room with wired surround sound speakers and in-wall ducting to allow a wall-mounted TV for a cinema-like feel. Further to this is a separate TV/family room, which flows through into a lovely conservatory-style space in an open-plan layout. This has historically been used as a dining area all year round, creating a really versatile space for both everyday family life and entertaining, with cosy underfloor heating. There is also a downstairs cloakroom and a sizeable integral garage, with a loft space above that has shelving, lights, and power supply.

The first floor provides four bedrooms (one with ensuite) and the family bathroom, while the entire second floor is dedicated to an impressive principal bedroom with its own ensuite. All of the bedrooms benefit from inbuilt wardrobes, maximising practicality. All of the bathrooms have been recently refitted.

The house benefits from a FTTP broadband connection, to allow the highest broadband speed; there is also wired ethernet connections to all of the bedrooms, so the whole family can enjoy high-speed streaming, gaming, and working at the same time. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,928 sq ft, excluding the 288 sq ft garage.

It really is a blank canvas where you can come in and add your own stamp. It's a home that has clearly been designed with family life in mind, giving you the space to entertain, plenty of room for everyone to have their own privacy, but equally lots of obvious spaces where you can come together and enjoy the house as a family.

Outside, the garden has been beautifully landscaped, with a lovely level lawn that sits slightly elevated and is surrounded by mature shrubs and hedging, creating a really good sense of privacy. There is also a delightful patio, newly laid with Indian sandstone, which captures the sunlight beautifully and gives you a great spot for sitting out and entertaining. There is side access through to the front, where you'll find a sizeable driveway providing plenty of parking for several cars.

All in all, this is a sizeable, well-presented and welcoming family home that really is an absolute must-see. Viewings can be arranged immediately and are strictly by appointment only.
