Inside, a striking entrance hall and feature spiral staircase set the tone for the home, leading to a series of elegant yet practical living spaces designed for modern family life.
At the heart of the home is a superbly appointed kitchen and breakfast room overlooking the gardens, complemented by generous reception rooms, a family room, utility room and cloakroom.
Every aspect of Brockendene has been carefully considered to create a home that is both stylish and welcoming.

The village green and nearby walking trails provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, while the surrounding area is dotted with bridleways and scenic routes ideal for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers.
Though Farley Hill enjoys a rural feel, transport links are convenient, with nearby train stations offering direct services to Reading and London, and bus routes connecting to local towns. The M3 and M4 motorways are also within easy reach, commuting straightforward. making For leisure, residents can take advantage of the cultural, shopping and dining offerings in Reading, while still enjoying the tranquillity and charm of village life.
SELLERS VIEW “This house has a lovely setting with far-reaching views and has been an enjoyable place to live! A great space for equestrian activities with that real countryside feel but not too far from conveniences.
NB There is a public footpath that crosses the rear paddock.
