Church Lane, Arborfield, Reading, Berkshire, RG2

Situated on an impressive plot of just over 0.3 acres, down the ever-desirable Church Lane, this family home has been intelligently and heavily extended twice by the current owners and provides opportunity for the next owner to continue to put their own stamp on it, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

As you enter the property, the feeling of space immediately becomes evident with high ceilings and a vast hallway and porch area greeting you. The downstairs accommodation includes a large utility, a downstairs cloakroom, an integral double garage and a private study to the rear. The double bay window living room lies on the left-hand side of the home and boasts over 20ft in length, with a modern style sandstone fireplace taking home in the centre of this space. This naturally light room creates the perfect space for entertaining friends and family all year round. This ideal entertaining space continues into the open plan dining room/kitchen which has ample storage and worktop space for any keen cooks. The current owners have also designated enough room to create a small snug in this space also. Bi-fold doors lead you out into the conservatory which has been kept in great order.

Upstairs, you can take full advantage of the double storey side extensions that have been performed on this already established home. As you reach the top of the staircase, immediately on your right there is a 23ft master bedroom that really reminds you that you are in a high-end home; as the views of lasting greenery can be appreciated from the Juliet balcony that has been incorporated, giving you an undisturbed view of the generous rear garden. The master suite includes a fitted dressing room area and a refurbished bathroom, which includes a large shower tray and has been finished neutrally. The further three bedrooms are all large doubles with plenty of space for furniture, the larger of the two have integrated wardrobes and ample eaves storage also. Speaking of storage, the lofts in the home offer a great opportunity for further conversion (STPP) and even the current owners, once considered doing a mezzanine in the secondary loft, which sits above the smallest bedroom. The family bathroom oozes character with a Victorian style suite being installed which includes an authentic cast iron bath.

Externally, the garden is the real ‘wow factor’ of this home. The south facing plot is tranquil and private, lined with mature shrubs and plants. Whilst the garden is mostly laid to lawn, there is still a large patio to host all-important BBQs. To the rear of the garden is a block-built workshop/storage shed and greenhouse. The south facing aspect of the garden really benefits the solar panels that have been installed. To the side of the property, there is a further covered private car port. The gravelled driveway to the front can comfortably park eight vehicles.

Phyllena is situated in the heart of the rural and desirable Church Lane. Although rural, this property has good public transport links with a nearby bus stop serving both Reading and Wokingham. There is a great selection of public and private schools on offer, including the Outstanding Bohunt School. For those who commute by car, the M4 can be found in just a couple of miles from this home.
