Bath Road, Newbury, RG14

Cheadle Cottage is tucked away in a quiet yet well connected residential setting, within easy reach of plentiful amenities including Waitrose supermarket just half a mile east, and the A34 half a mile to the west. The house is set back from the road behind its own private driveway, and further benefits from a garage, outside storage, a car port and attractive gardens. The detached bungalow was initially built in 1966 and later fully updated by the vendor, with updates including full cosmetic redecoration internally, external rendering, a new kitchen and utility room and redeveloping the
outside spaces.

Though arranged over one floor, the accommodation is generously proportioned and offers plenty of space for living and entertaining, with the house well suited to professionals or retirees. The largely open plan living space is bright and airy, with excellent natural light throughout and good flow through the living and dining areas provided by engineered wood floors and a pretty colour scheme. Large windows look out over the delightful gardens which are wonderfully secluded and provide a fabulously green backdrop. A long reception hallway leads through to a 28ft reception/dining room, with two sets of sliding glazed doors leading out to the garden. The kitchen is also open plan, with gloss units and granite work surfaces, as well as a range of integrated appliances; there is a separate utility room with plenty of extra storage and space for laundry machines. The two bedrooms are both double size with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and en suite bath/shower room. There is a further cloakroom with WC. The property further benefits from having the footings in place following its recent renovation for the potential of a loft conversion and further expansion.

Outside

The bungalow is accessed via a communal lane leading to a private, gated entrance. The gravel driveway wraps around the front and side of the property, providing ample off-road parking, an EV charger, access to the car port, garage/workshop both with electricity and garden. The garden is beautifully landscaped with a level lawn surrounded by mature greenery: tall hedges provide a high degree of privacy, and there are a number of exotic additions including palms and a fern garden, the latter providing a secluded seating area to the side of the house. A number of terraces afford space for alfresco dining, including two patios and a covered seating area under a pergola.
