Tidmarsh Road, Pangbourne, Berkshire

Monks Rest has been thoughtfully extended, well-maintained and recently renovated in recent years during the current family’s 13 year ownership so that it now perfectly blends period features and charm with modern day, practical family living. Downstairs comprises an over 250 sq ft living room with thin strip wooden flooring, a well-positioned feature fireplace containing a log-burning stove which then links through the kitchen following an extension. The smart contemporary kitchen has light coloured units with wooden worktops, a breakfast bar, integrated appliances, a gas hob and space below a skylight for a breakfast table and two sets of double doors out to the garden. There are two further reception rooms with one currently used as a dining room and the second a rear facing study.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms of which the spacious 200 sq ft principal bedroom benefits from a sizeable en suite with large, walk-in shower, in-built cabinetry and access out onto a roof terrace overlooking the garden. The remaining three bedrooms are served by an attractive family bathroom with metro tiles and a bathtub with shower attachment.

In the garden what was formerly a double garage has been repurposed into a very smart 350 sq ft, garden, games room to further complement the living space in the house itself. The garden room has a very stylish bar, space for a sofa seating, storage cupboards and currently more than enough space for a pool table, but naturally could operate in many different ways depending on requirements.
The rear garden is west facing and laid to lawn with a raised paved terrace as well as a decked seating area and paved path from the terrace to the garden room. There are mature borders offering a good degree of privacy, a storage shed, rear gate leading to an additional parking space on Green Lane. To the immediate front of the property is an attractive, shingle driveway allowing parking for at least two vehicles, set behind a tall brick and flint wall and flowerbed with shaped hedging.

The property is conveniently situated just under half a mile from Pangbourne High Street. The pretty Thameside village provides an excellent range of local facilities including a surgery, Post Office, a number of independent traders such as a specialist cheese shop, bakery, butcher, pubs and a Co-Op. In addition to local state schools are a wide selection of nearby independent, junior and senior schools including Pangbourne College, Moulsford, St. Andrews, Cranford, The Oratory and Bradfield College. The mainline station offers regular quick services to London Paddington whilst also connecting to the highspeed Elizabeth Line and quick access to the M4 for Reading, Heathrow and London beyond.
