Description

This property, with its roots tracing back to the 17th century, has been thoughtfully restored from a derelict pub into a modern family residence. The current owners acquired it in 2010 and have meticulously renovated it while preserving original elements like open fireplaces and beamed ceilings, which add character to the living space. Significant updates have been made, including the installation of new hardwood windows, essential electrical and plumbing systems, as well as kitchen and bathroom refurbishments. The attention to detail is evident throughout the home, making it an inviting space for families. Set on approximately 3 acres of land, the property boasts beautifully landscaped gardens with both formal and informal areas conducive to outdoor entertaining. An orchard accompanies the garden, alongside fenced paddocks that could serve various purposes such as a vegetable patch or additional livestock housing. There are also several outbuildings available for storage or potential conversion into useful spaces. The location is conveniently situated south of Reading, close to retail options and leisure amenities, with excellent transport links via Reading Station to London Paddington in under half an hour. Local schools are within walking distance, enhancing its appeal for families seeking community-oriented living.
