Set 300m back from the main road, Gardeners Cottage is an impressive family home, that offers light and airy accommodation, with elegant styling and exposed timber and brickwork throughout.

The ground floor is entered via a welcoming reception/dining hall, with mellow Quick-Step laminate flooring, and a double-sided brick-built fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove, shared with the neighbouring sitting room. The sitting room is well-proportioned and benefits from a dual south and west-facing aspect, which welcomes plenty of natural light. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is the heart of the home and is ideal for entertaining; there is also a useful study. The kitchen itself offers plenty of storage space, integrated appliances and an Esse range cooker, while the adjoining boot room and utility room provide further space for storage and household appliances.

The first floor is arranged to provide four well-presented bedrooms, all of which have built-in wardrobes and two of which are en suite. This includes the principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom. Also on this level is the family bathroom, with its separate shower unit, whilst the second floor is host to a further bedroom with eaves storage, a games room, and a shower room.

Situation

The property enjoys a peaceful rural position, in the Berkshire village of Finchampstead with its amenities including a village hall, a local pub and a primary school. There are three public houses just minutes from the property: The Greyhound, The Queens Oak and The Tally Ho. Nearby Wokingham, Crowthorne, Sandhurst and Yateley provide access to further facilities whilst a greater selection of shops and leisure facilities are available in Guildford, Windsor, Bracknell and Reading.

There are extensive areas of unspoilt countryside including the National Trust Finchampstead Ridges that are noted for their fine walks and rides, and there is a local footpath network, accessible from the main drive. Sporting and social amenities are well catered for: The East Berkshire Golf Club is close to hand and there are several other courses in the vicinity, and horse racing may be enjoyed at Ascot, Windsor and Newbury.

There is good schooling in the area including St. Neot’s School, Hurst Lodge School, Yateley Manor School, Holme Grange, The White House, Ludgrove, and Wellington College.

The area is well connected by road, with the M3 and M4 within easy reach. Regular rail services are available from Crowthorne Station, which offers services to London Paddington, changing at Reading, and Fleet station with services to Waterloo.
