Built in 2010, Beech House offers circa 6,000 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation over three floors. The impressive reception hall leads to four spacious reception rooms, which include a drawing room which is centred around a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove and has French doors providing a link to the garden. Further reception areas comprise a flexible-use family room, a snug and a light-filled garden room. With its vaulted ceiling and exposed rafters, the recently installed kitchen contains shaker style cabinetry with stone work surfaces, a Belfast sink, integrated appliances and large central island and breakfast bar. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs with front and rear bi-folding doors, plus a more formal dining room situated next to the kitchen. An indoor swimming pool with adjoining wet room provides a splendid leisure facility with direct access out to the paved terrace, a new cinema room situated on the floor above the double garage.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the two upper floors, with the principal room offering a fitted dressing room and an en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms with access to a Jackand- Jill bathroom, and on the landing is a library setting within the curved bay window. At the top of the house there are two, almost identical, en suite bedrooms. Additional accommodation is available with a newly constructed detached studio annexe which can function as a home office or a gym and is complete with a kitchenette and bathroom.

Some noteworthy technological features exist including fibre internet with speeds up to 900 mbps and further bolstered by a 5G WIFI network covering the entire house and garden. The indoor pool has air heating, there are solar panels and a new 2000 litre pressurised water tank system. For electric vehicles there is a Tesla charger.

The house also benifits from recently approved planning permission for a triple storey rear extension with internal alterations. Plans are available on the West Berkshire Planning Portal or we can supply upon request.

With a plot measuring a little over an acre, the garden backs onto open countryside. Laid mostly to lawn, there are mature borders and specimen trees but notably a very spacious paved terrace linking the pool to all main reception rooms; perfect for outdoor entertaining.

There is also a children's treehouse as well as a breeze house with seating. To the front there is further garden and a shingle driveway leading to the double garage, accessed via electric gates.

The picturesque, semi-rural village of Upper Basildon is encircled by the Berkshire countryside with amenities including a church with striking architecture, a village hall, a recreational ground, football and tennis clubs, as well as a popular public house.

The nearby Thameside village of Pangbourne provides an excellent range of local shops and services and a mainline rail link to London Paddington. The more comprehensive amenities of Reading are approximately nine miles distant, with the M4 offering convenient road links. Well-regarded schooling in the vicinity includes St Andrews Berkshire, Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, Oratory Prep and the Oratory School.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 11, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 11, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
