Pithers Cottage is a lovely family home set in about 1.7 acres of extensive gardens and grounds, including some woodland which gives a high degree of privacy. The property is approached down a quiet, single track lane with a nature reserve one side and The Ridges the other. It is approached through an electric gate into a spacious parking area.

The front door leads into the sitting room that has a wood burner and stairs leading up to the front first floor. It is a light, bright room with windows on both sides. French doors lead out to the terrace and there is also a WC cloakroom off it. Double doors lead through to the drawing room that has an open fire and two bay windows. There are windows on three sides which create another light, bright and airy reception room. Double doors lead through to the study or dog room that also has French doors leading out to the terrace and lawn, and rear stairs leading up to the first floor.

To the other side of the sitting room is the dining room that has an inset “Stuv” wood burner. Beyond this is the lovely open-plan Poggenpohl kitchen/breakfast room that has electric underfloor heating and a lantern light above the sitting area. A spiral wine cellar has been sunk into the floor with an electric glass door, LED lights and space for over 1,000 bottles. Two sets of bi-fold doors lead out to the terrace and garden beyond.

The central Island has a Gaggenau induction hob and a Wolf extractor fan. There are further Gaggenau appliances comprising a steam oven, main oven, two warming drawers and coffee machine. In addition, there is a full height fridge, under-counter freezer and dishwasher by Siemens. A Quooker hot water system is installed. There is also a useful drying room beside the oil-fired Rayburn that provides the heating and hot water to the house. To the rear of the kitchen is a snug area with a TV and a sliding glass door leading through to the utility room which has Clive Christian units with a double oven, microwave, fridge freezer and space for two washing machines. A back door leads out on to a side patio and the vegetable garden.

Stairs from the sitting room lead up to the first-floor landing off which are five bedrooms and a family bathroom. In addition to the family bathroom is a “Jack and Jill” bathroom (with both a bath and shower) between two double bedrooms. The principal bedroom (with lovely wallpaper) has a dressing room and an en suite bathroom. There is access to two lofts, both which are partially boarded.

Pithers Cottage is situated off Lower Sandhurst Road which is considered one of the prime roads in the area due to the sizeable and attractive homes that are each set on large private plots.

The village of Finchampstead is highly coveted, being popular for families with a well-regarded primary school, playing fields and outstanding countryside on the doorstep.

The property is conveniently located for the commuters with the M3 and M4 motorways easily accessible. Schooling is well served both by state and public schools, most notable amongst them Wellington College, Eagle House and Yateley Manor.
