The Hatchgate is an attractive double-fronted red brick residence, encompassing approximately 4,100 sq ft of adaptable living space across four levels. Currently, it has been partially reimagined to house two front-facing maisonettes and two rear apartments, with ongoing renovations aimed at uncovering and enhancing its period character—featuring striking high ceilings and original fireplaces.
The first maisonette welcomes you through the original front door into a spacious entrance hall leading to a drawing room and family room, both showcasing charming cast iron open fireplaces. The ground floor also includes a dining area and a principal bedroom with en suite facilities. A unique spiral staircase descends to a sizeable kitchen/dining space complete with flagstone floors and access to an en suite shower room. Separately, the ground floor apartment features an entrance hall, open-plan kitchen/living area, comfortable double bedroom with storage, and a modern bathroom.
Upstairs, the communal hallway leads to distinct private entrances for two apartments. One rear apartment presents a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (one of which could be repurposed as a reception), and a contemporary bathroom; while the front maisonette offers another drawing room with fireplace, an office (which could also serve as an additional bedroom), fitted kitchen, double bedroom, sleek shower room, and stairs to vaulted second-floor spaces that include another double bedroom and stylish bathroom.
Outside, the property boasts considerable kerb appeal with parking available at the front and side. Access through elegant twin brick pillars leads down a private driveway to additional parking spaces and a detached garage with garden shed. The generous outdoor space features well-maintained lawns and a paved terrace that benefits from mature tree screening.
Nestled on the outskirts of the Chilterns National Landscape escarpment in the peaceful village of Whitchurch Hill—complete with local green spaces, church, and pub—the home is conveniently near Whitchurch on Thames offering local amenities alongside broader options in nearby Reading. With exceptional recreational opportunities in surrounding areas for walking, cycling or sports activities, this property is well connected by road via the M4 for easy access to London or by rail through Pangbourne mainline station reaching London Paddington in about 45 minutes.
