Description
Nestled behind St James’s Church in Finchampstead, this truly special country home is set in grounds approaching 9.7 acres and occupies an enviable private position with far reaching views over open Finchampstead countryside and beyond.
The property is approached via a long driveway and is surrounded by open countryside. It has been extended and remodelled by the current owners to offer generous living accommodation for the family with 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 3-4 reception rooms.
As you enter Lower Cottage you are welcomed through a lovely light and airy sun room into the entrance hall, with more than enough room to take off your shoes and coats. Leading from the entrance hall is the formal dining room and spacious kitchen which enjoys a breakfast area and an Aga. The other side of the hallway provides you with a grand home office overlooking the front courtyard with plenty of light coming through the south facing window. Further along you’ll find the 20”6’ x 16”7 living room with double doors opening onto the formal gardens with views over countryside and a feature fire place. Rounding off the ground floor accommodation is the utility room, pantry, cloakroom and boot room.
Making your way upstairs to the first floor, you’ll find yourself on a spacious landing servicing the 6 bedrooms and family bathroom. The light and airy master bedroom suite has a plethora of storage with built in wardrobes and its own modern fitted 4 piece en suite with ‘His and Her’ sinks and a bidet. Bedroom 2 is also equipped with an en suite and built in wardrobes. The family bathroom services the other 4 bedrooms, 2 of which also have built in storage.
Outside the extensive grounds include well maintained formal gardens, patio areas, tennis court, orchard and paddocks with stabling. There is ample off road parking with a double garage and outside storage.
Situated in a quiet country lane in the heart of Finchampstead Lower Cottage nestles alongside rolling countryside and just a short walk from Finchampstead Church and the Queens Oak public house. Local shops and amenities are close by with more comprehensive facilities available in Crowthorne village and Wokingham a quaint market town with an eclectic range of shops, bars and restaurants. Both M3 and M4 motorways are easily accessible and the mainline station at Wokingham provides an efficient service to London, Gatwick airport and Reading the third largest interchange station outside of London. Heathrow is also accesable via the M4 and M3 in 46 minutes.
