This handsome brick-built property was designed in 1926 by the Oxford architect Thomas Rayson in the Arts & Crafts tradition. It offers more than 5,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation. Original features include a butler's pantry, distinctive fireplaces and narrow strip oak floorboards. The main entrance is via a large, brick columned storm porch, through a smart vestibule and then into a wide entrance hallway with double doors and a fireplace. The impressive drawing room measures over 350 sq ft with high wooden beams and a striking feature fireplace with a log burner. Double doors enter into the garden room with wooden panelling. The spacious dining room has a bay window and corner fireplace. Off the dining room is a further reception room currently utilised as a study with French doors to the garden. The kitchen is bright with modern painted units and wooden worktops, with a recessed Lacanche range cooker, complete with a sleek extractor and glass splashback, in addition to a separate gas hob and oven. There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs. Finally, the butler’s pantry features original shelved cabinetry for crockery and a sink. Along a back corridor are two spacious storerooms, a secondary, everyday entrance to the house, a toilet and a laundry/ utility room. The original wide staircase with a tall landing window goes up to the 1st floor which contains five, good-sized, double bedrooms, of which four have en-suite bathrooms. The fifth is served by a family bathroom, directly opposite. The principal bedroom has a wide bay window with commanding views over the gardens and bedroom four has access to a pretty balcony. The upstairs landing leads around to an extended part of the house where there is a changing room with shower and toilet for the indoor swimming pool, which is accessed via a flexible space which is currently used as a gym, overlooking the pool. A few steps lead down from this room past a hot tub to the indoor pool area. Sliding doors from the pool lead out to the garden and an inviting south-westerly facing paved terrace.

Planning permission Planning permission was granted in November 2025 for internal reconfiguration including removing and filling the swimming pool and Jacuzzi to convert the space into a gym, games room and winter garden reception room. Other proposed changes include removing the wall between the kitchen and study to create an open plan kitchen/ diner and repurposing former storage rooms to functional accommodation. The permission also includes consent for solar panels, air source heat pump and battery storage. All relevant reports and surveys have been completed. Full details can be found under West Berkshire Council planning reference 25/02142/HOUSE Prospective purchasers are advised that they should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority.
