4 bed detached house for sale

New Lane Hill Tilehurst Reading, Berkshire RG30

Set behind a gated entrance within a select development of just four homes, The Walled Garden makes a striking first impression. Its handsome, Georgian-inspired façade combines balanced proportions with classical detailing, giving the house an elegant presence.

A spacious driveway provides ample parking and access to a detached double garage. Established brick walls and mature greenery frame the approach, while gardens extending around all four sides give the house an appealing sense of space.

Ground floor

Beyond the red front door, pale, polished floor tiles with a decorative inset contrast with the warm tones of the timber staircase. Panelled doors, timber joinery and ceiling cornicing carry this refined finish through the ground floor.

The principal family room is generously proportioned, with windows on three sides, including a projecting bay, bringing in natural light. An elegant fireplace surround forms a focal point, complemented by fitted cabinetry and open shelving for books and treasured pieces. There is room to arrange distinct seating areas, creating a welcoming setting for entertaining or a quieter afternoon.

Across the hall, a separate sitting room offers a more intimate atmosphere. A contemporary media wall with an inset fire makes this an inviting retreat for film nights and relaxed evenings, giving family members space to enjoy their own pursuits.

To the rear, the kitchen combines traditional cabinetry with a bright, refined finish. White panelled cupboards, curved corner units and decorative cornicing are complemented by brass-toned handles and pale, veined marble worktops. A range cooker sits beneath a substantial mantel-style canopy, while a plate rack and an under-counter drinks cooler add practical detail.

The kitchen opens into a distinctive dining area, where a curved sweep of windows fills the room with light and frames views of the walled garden. Equally suited to leisurely breakfasts and dinner with friends, it has a glazed door opening directly onto the terrace, making outdoor dining an easy part of summer life.

A separate utility area, storage beneath the stairs and a fully tiled shower room with an enclosed shower, vanity basin and WC complete the ground floor.

First floor

The staircase rises to a central landing serving four double bedrooms. Panelled doors and ceiling cornicing continue upstairs, where each room has its own character.

The principal bedroom pairs a soft neutral palette with fitted wardrobes and broad windows, creating a light, restful retreat. Its en suite combines pale, veined wall tiles with warm-toned flooring, a glass-screened shower with a rainfall head, a vanity basin and WC.

From the en suite, a private staircase leads to a dedicated dressing room on the second floor, extending the principal suite over two levels. Velux roof windows bring in natural light, making this additional space equally appealing as a private home office.

Three further double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests. One is particularly spacious, with extensive fitted wardrobes and an integrated dressing table, while the remaining two also benefit from fitted storage.

The family bathroom makes a striking design statement. Dramatically veined wall and floor tiles form a rich backdrop to a freestanding bath with a gold-toned exterior. Twin basins on an elegant console, traditional-style fittings and coordinated wall lights bring a touch of indulgence to the everyday.

Outside

The gardens wrap around all four sides of the house, creating places to gather or enjoy a quieter moment outdoors. Established brick walls give the setting character and a sense of enclosure, softened by clipped hedging, mature shrubs and sculptural planting.

To the rear, generous, paved terraces extend around the curved dining room, inviting an easy transition from breakfast indoors to coffee outside. Brick edging and a circular paved feature bring definition to the landscaping, with ample space to arrange outdoor dining and seating areas.

Overlooking the garden, a substantial detached outbuilding offers a contemporary contrast to the house. Its charcoal exterior, full-height glazing and wide bifold doors connect the interior with the terrace. With the doors folded back, the room opens to the garden, creating an inviting setting for summer afternoons and evenings with friends.

Currently arranged for entertaining, the interior includes a kitchenette and its own separate shower room. The generous main room could become an inspiring home office, a creative studio or a private space for exercise. The garden outlook and separation from the household make it particularly appealing for home working, with the shower room adding everyday practicality.
