LOCATION
SITUATION
The village of Upper Basildon sits on the edge of the Berkshire Downlands in an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ with far reaching scenic countryside surrounding it on all sides.

The village itself offers a range of amenities including a parish church, community Post Office, highly regarded C of E primary school, and a traditional Public House serving local ale and food. A splendid new village hall which has become the centre for a variety of community sports and activities utilising its adjoining sports field and tennis courts exists also. A local bus company runs a limited service from the village to Pangbourne on Thames, where a mainline railway station with fast commuter services up to London (Paddington) in well under the hour (25 minutes from Reading) can be found.

Bradfield College, the well-known Public School located some three miles from Upper Basildon, has excellent leisure, fitness and sports facilities including a large indoor swimming pool all of which are available for use by members of the public.  The facilities also include squash, badminton and tennis courts, hockey and a 9-hole golf course.

In addition to having its own well revered primary school, locally the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of both state and private schooling, of particular note; St Andrews Prep School, Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, Downe House, Cranford House, Moulsford Preparatory, Abingdon Boys and The School of St Helen & Katharine.

The village enjoys excellent road communications with easy access to surrounding  major  towns and for the M.4 at Theale ( J.12 )

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Built in 2005 and forming one half of a pair of semi detached cottages, Caius Cottage is a beautifully presented property.  Entrance is into a porch with further door leading into the entrance hall. The hall has a double coats cupboard and cloakroom.  Beautiful limestone flooring flows all the way through into the kitchen breakfast room.  The study and family room sit at the front of the house and the sitting room overlooks the garden. The kitchen breakfast room is the heart of the house, with Neptune units and quartz worktops as well as a large island.  It is a lovely social space.  A roof lantern above the dining area allows for masses of natural light and French doors lead directly into the garden, giving a wonderful connection between the two and a feeling of “inside outside” living.  Upstairs, the landing has a large airing cupboard and gives access to all rooms.  The main bedroom has built in double wardrobes and ensuite shower room.  There are 3 further double bedrooms all with built in wardrobes and a family bathroom.  The property offers a huge amount of appeal  and  is finished to a very high standard.    An early viewing is advised

OUTSIDE
Approached behind hedging and trees, the shared driveway sweeps round to Caius Cottage at the further end.  There is parking for 3 cars and additional parking could be created, if required.  There is a garage with up and over door.  The front aspect is a wooded copse and provides total seclusion.  The main garden is at the back of the property and is a beautifully designed cottage garden providing lovely seating areas.  There is box hedging amongst bountiful borders, pretty planting and lush lawn.  A dining area under a pergola provides a wonderful opportunity for “al fresco” dining and entertaining.  The gardens are a private peaceful place and truly compliment this cottage.
