Description

Romans are delighted to present to the market this unique property which is the wing of a country home believed to have been separated from the main house after World War II.

The property is beautifully presented throughout and designed with modern finishes as well as character features such as high ceilings and sash windows, creating an inviting and welcoming home. As you enter the property through the spacious entrance hall with cloakroom, you enter the formal living room to the front with wood burning stove. To the rear of the property is the stunning fitted kitchen/dining room that has the added benefit of underfloor heating and generous sized pantry. There is also rear access and views over the garden. On the first floor there are two good sized double bedrooms, further single bedroom/study, library room, and a well-appointed family bathroom with stand-alone rolled top bath. A further two good sized bedrooms can be found on the second floor along with ample storage space and an additional bathroom with shower. There is also a lower ground floor cellar, accessed via the rear garden and ideal for storage.

Outside, the property features a stunning garden with a patio area perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining in the warmer months. The large gardens are surrounded by mature planting of shrubs, bushes and trees, giving it a secluded and private feel and has a summer house nestled down the garden overlooking the River Loddon. The property benefits from a large sweeping driveway alongside a double garage with carport. Above the garage is an ideal home office with w/c.

Set towards the end of a private driveway on the borders of Woodley and Hurst, this tranquil location offers a peaceful and country feel with the benefits of being close to all local amenities including Dinton Pastures country park, Woodley precinct including shops, cafes, and restaurants. Transport links are excellent including the M4 & A329M. With good access to Twyford station (which includes Crossrail) and close to array of excellent schools including Blue Coat as well as The Abbey and Kendrick.

Whether you're looking to relax in the idyllic surroundings or entertain in style, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Low risk

Not at the pin: mapped about 20 metres away.

Planning map: Flood Zone 2, about 20 metres away.
