Known in the 1800s as 'The Barracks', local tradition says that Oliver Cromwell billeted his soldiers here during the English Civil War.
The property is entered via a spacious reception hall with exposed timbers, original brick floors and an open fireplace. The main reception room lies adjacent to the hall with a beautiful inglenook fireplace with bread oven, and windows front and back providing lovely views over the gardens and a glazed door to the rear garden. Doors from the living room lead to the well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room and to a dual aspect dining room with views over the rear garden. The kitchen contains a range of wall and base units, granite work surfaces and a door out to the side of the house. At the other end of the house a further hallway leads to the study with French windows opening onto the garden, to a downstairs WC with shower, and provides access to the patio and rear garden.
Upstairs the principal bedroom suite is a well-proportioned, dual aspect room enjoying views over the garden and countryside beyond. This room has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. There are a further two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all of which are served by the family bathroom with a door leading through to a useful storage room.
The property sits centrally in a plot of 0.67 acre with wonderful cottage gardens both front and back. Brick paths from the sunny patio meander through herbaceous borders and lead to mown paths through what was once part of an old orchard. A variety of mature shrubs and trees provide a high degree of privacy. The driveway provides off street parking and access to the double garage. A wood store and potting shed are to the rear of the garage.
The picturesque village of Kidmore End has a popular pub/restaurant, a highly regarded Church of England primary school, and a 19th century church overlooking the village pond. The area has many beautiful footpaths and bridleways into the Chiltern Hills and the property lies within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Extensive leisure, shopping facilities and restaurants/cafes are available in nearby Henley-on-Thames and Reading, and there are several good independent schools in the area including Reading Blue Coat School, The Oratory, Queen Anne's in Caversham and Shiplake College.
