Description

An immaculately presented four bedroom detached family home built in 2014 by renowned builder Harley James Ltd set in approximately 0.57 acres.

Property Description
Grey Kite House is an individual detached property set behind gates built in 2014 by renowned local builder Don Wakefield. An oak covered porch and front door leads to a reception hall with doors to principal rooms and staircase to the first floor. The magnificent individually designed McCarron fully fitted kitchen/diner is the focal point of the ground floor, a generous open plan room, with superb views over fields to the rear. From the kitchen, glazed French doors open out onto a large terrace providing ample room for alfresco dining and providing stunning views across the garden to the Chiltern hills beyond. The sitting room features a wood burning stove with limestone surround, and French doors leading to the rear garden. The study/playroom also has a rear aspect with French doors leading out onto the rear terrace. To complete the ground floor accommodation there is a cloakroom, and a utility room with matching wall and base units, granite work surfaces and glazed door to the side.
On the first floor the main bedroom has a rear aspect over open fields with a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. There is a rear aspect guest bedroom with an ensuite shower room, and two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The house is approached through electric iron gates with entry control to a private block paved driveway, with ample parking and access to the double garage garage. Access at the side leads to the rear garden. The rear garden benefits from a large terrace which opens onto a garden laid mainly to lawn, with shrub beds and borders. Beyond the lawned garden is a separate paddock and a small parcel of woodland. There is a newly built home office with electric heating. In 2019 the heat pump was completely reinstalled and so benefits from RHI payments which run until August 2026.

Lower Basildon, West Berkshire
Situated in scenic countryside designated an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’, the small village of Lower Basildon lies approximately midway between Pangbourne and Streatley on Thames at the foot of the Berkshire Downlands overlooking the Thames Valley and across to the Chilterns on the Oxfordshire side of the river.
Comprehensive everyday amenities and facilities including shops, post office, health centres, libraries and excellent primary schools are available at Goring on Thames and Pangbourne with both villages also having mainline stations providing fast commuter services to Reading and up to London Paddington in well under the hour, as well as the Elizabeth Line to Canary Wharf and beyond. Road communications are also excellent with Reading and the M4 motorway being easily accessible.
On the edge of Lower Basildon stands the historic Basildon House, now owned by the National Trust and open to the public as is Beale Park, which extends along the banks of the river where can be seen many exotic varieties of animals and birds as well as a miniature railway. Near the river, at the bottom of Church Lane is the historic 13th century Parish Church of St Bartholomews. A footpath along the Thames is accessible a short distance from the house.
In addition to nearby villages having their own primary and secondary schools, locally the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of both state and private schooling, of particular note; St Andrews and Elstree Preparatory Schools, The Oratory Preparatory and Secondary Schools, Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, Downe House, Cranford House, Moulsford Preparatory, The Manor, Abingdon Boys and The School of St Helen & Katharine. A variety of secondary school buses run through Lower Basildon.
