PARKERS - Nestled in a quiet, secluded plot at the end of a gravel drive in the desirable village of Upper Basildon, can be found this pretty, detached property. The Poppies offers over 2,000 square feet of light, airy and flexible accommodation with several rooms opening onto the delightful gardens which envelope the residence.

Favourably positioned, the property is well served by an excellent range of schooling, both state and private. Ideally situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Poppies is within walking distance of the popular local primary school, church, village hall, park and pub. A short, seven minute drive away can be found the bustling village of Pangbourne, with its shops, restaurants and doctors’ surgery, whilst its mainline station provides direct access to London Paddington within the hour. The residence is also conveniently located for the M4 motorway, with junction 12 being a journey of approximately 14 minutes. The attractive villages of Goring and Streatley along with the more comprehensive amenities of Reading and the market town of Newbury are also close by.

Built around 60 years ago, with a later extension in 2000, this attractively designed property has ample parking and tranquil wrap around gardens of approximately a third of an acre. At the entrance, the welcoming reception hall has a stairway rising to the first floor. The hall leads initially onto two of the property’s reception rooms, both with plenty of natural light. The smaller of the two rooms is currently used as a cosy snug for those Winter evenings, complete with fireplace. Meanwhile, the generously proportioned, triple aspect living room lies to the other side of the hallway, with a feature fireplace containing a wood burning stove and French doors leading out into the lovely side garden. The spacious sunroom enjoys a beautiful outlook over the rear garden and connects to the large living room as well as to the kitchen breakfast room. This handsome kitchen enjoys a range of contrasting coloured shaker-style cabinetry with a butler sink and range cooker. Currently the owners use the 3 remaining spacious ground floor reception rooms as further bedrooms, one of which is served by an en-suite shower room. There is also a pleasant family bathroom. The first floor gives access to a galleried landing with vaulted ceiling, which is used as an office and library but could equally be employed as a dressing area. The bright principle bedroom contains full length wardrobes, a vaulted ceiling and an attractive en-suite shower room.

The house is approached through a five bar gate with a large gravel driveway that benefits from an EV charging point. A private garden is found to the side of the property featuring a grey composite decking area. The main peaceful garden is at the rear of the house with a large sandstone patio,several pathways, one of which lies beneath a beautiful rose covered pergola and an array of planting plus herbaceous borders. Additional storage can also be found behind the Summer house and Tuin log cabin.

The Poppies represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, well maintained detached home, with potential to further extend on its secluded and generous plot, in this aspirational village.
