4 bedroom detached house for sale

A Note from the Homeowners

We’ve loved raising our family here. With Silchester Common just across the road, the local school and village pub a short stroll away, it’s been the perfect place to bring up the kids. There’s a real sense of community here – and brilliant neighbours to match.

The garden has been a standout – ideal for entertaining or just letting the children run free. We added the large patio around the Japanese maple to catch the sun for most of the day in summer – it quickly became one of our favourite spots to relax.

The house has always felt spacious. It’s grown with us and still has room to evolve – especially with the loft offering a great opportunity for conversion.

Being 45 minutes from both Heathrow and the South Coast has also been a real bonus – whether for work trips or weekend escapes.

Now the children have flown the nest, we’re ready to downsize – but we’ll always carry the memories made in this much-loved home.

Alex’s Highlights

I’ve seen a lot of homes over the years – but this one really stands out. Step into history with this 1906 Victorian gem. Double-fronted, with beautiful brickwork and timeless character, it sits on a half-acre plot near the village of Silchester, directly opposite the peaceful expanse of Silchester Common, which leads onto Pamber Forest.

There’s something special about being able to open your front door and head straight out onto the common – whether it’s to clear your head in the morning, go exploring with the kids, or just soak up the stillness. That kind of setting is rare.

Inside, there’s 2,700 sq ft of versatile space – four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, three reception rooms, and a study. The two bay-fronted reception rooms each feature a fireplace and enjoy natural light throughout the day. The kitchen, centred around a classic Aga, links to the rear reception room, and (subject to building regs) could be opened up into a large kitchen-dining-family space – perfect for modern life and designed to connect with the garden for that ideal inside-outside flow.

And what a garden it is – a real standout. Mature trees give a calm sense of privacy at the back, creating the perfect setting whether you’re hosting, barbecuing, letting the kids run free, or enjoying garden games as a family.

There’s also potential to convert the loft (STPP), giving you even more flexibility as your needs evolve. An outbuilding adds further space – ideal as a home office, workshop, or a kids’ den – and the double garage with driveway parking comfortably fits four cars.
