Description

Brockendene has been thoughtfully transformed by its current owners into a beautifully appointed family home, where contemporary design sits effortlessly within a peaceful countryside setting.

Approached through electric gates, a sweeping gravel driveway provides an impressive arrival, generous parking and access to the detached double garage. 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.

To the ground floor, there is a spacious hallway with feature spiral staircase leading to the first floor. From the hallway, you have access to the family room, utility room, cloakroom and sitting room. You also have access to the wonderful, refitted kitchen/breakfast room, with doors to and views over the beautiful rear garden. Off the kitchen is the dining room, which also leads through to the sitting room. To the first floor, the master bedroom has an en-suite. There are four further good- sized bedrooms, and en-suite to bedroom two and a family bathroom. Outside, the grounds extend around the side and the rear of the property and is mainly laid to lawn with stunning views. This wonderful plot is around 1.5 acres.

Farley Hill is a picturesque village on the outskirts of Reading, set within the rural parish of Swallowfield. Surrounded by open countryside, mature woodland and historic properties like Farley Hall and Farley Court, the village offers a peaceful, community- oriented lifestyle. At its heart is the Victory Hall, a historic community hub that hosts local events and activities throughout the year. 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.
