Property description
4/5 bedroom Victorian detached substantial family home sympathetically updated and extended whilst retaining many period features. There is a large garden and individually designed garden pavilion with heating and ideal uses such as gym, utility building or home office.
The property is positioned in a highly sought after location between Sandhurst and Crowthorne and is within walking distance of the local train station, village, popular public house, top-rated state and private schools, woods, heathland and lakes.
The 'Victorian villa charm' blends seamlessly with the graceful light and space of the contemporary extension. Beautifully presented throughout, the front porch features lovely Victorian tile and a traditional front door opening to the wood-floored reception hall and a total floor plan in excess of 2036 sq. ft. of wonderfully versatile accommodation. Some of the interesting features here include high ceilings, drawing room with fireplace (currently used as a double study), dining room also with a fireplace, vaulted living room featuring cathedral windows giving a show piece view of the large garden. There is a large, vaulted and well-appointed kitchen, which features a limestone heated floor and a charming and useful stable-door leading to a stone rear terrace and outside dining and barbeque area. Importantly here there is an interior door leading from utility room to the double garage. The first floor has five good sized bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suites, family bathroom and access to a large boarded loft space. To the rear of the house is a large and organically grown lawned garden with three productive heirloom variety apple trees, well-stocked borders and hedges, twelve varieties of roses, and bountiful spring bulbs bordering the private woodland copse at the bottom. On the other side of the copse are the playing fields of prestigious Eagle House School (contiguous with Wellington College).
To the front of the house there are two driveways, a hedge for privacy, and a generous double garage with an automatic overhead door.
Positioned close to the border of Sandhurst and Crowthorne the property is situated within catchment for the outstanding Uplands Primary School. There is a wide choice of independent and state schools locally including Edgbarrow (featured in Daily Telegraph's 2014 \"Britain's Best State Secondaries: Where to Buy a Home\"), Eagle House, Wellington College, Ludgrove, St Neots and Luckley Oakfield. The property is situated within easy walking distance of the train station which offers services to London via Reading. The villages of Crowthorne and Sandhurst provide for everyday needs whilst the larger centres of Wokingham, Camberley and Reading are easily accessible and offer a comprehensive range of shopping, business and recreational facilities.
