Rose Court, Reading Road, Berkshire

This highly attractive property is part of a small development of homes formed from a large country house and its connected outbuildings. The accommodation has been renovated by the current owners to a modern standard with a stylish yet understated look and feel throughout.

The main reception room is the sitting room, with its French doors opening onto the patio area and fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove, making it a comfortable space in which to relax. Adjoining the sitting room is the open-plan kitchen and dining area with its vaulted ceiling, skylights and bi-fold doors opening to the garden. This social space is ideal for entertaining and features sleek fitted units, wooden worktops, a central island, an American-style fridge/freezer and a range cooker with a gas hob and dual ovens.

There are two double bedrooms on the ground level, one of which benefits from an en suite shower room, while the main bedroom has extensive fitted wardrobes. The ground floor also has a family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate walk-in shower, while upstairs there is one further double bedroom, with an en suite cloakroom.

The property is set some way back from the road along a shared driveway, which leads to private parking and a double garage. At the front of the property there is a cobbled courtyard garden, while at the rear, the gardens extend to more than 100ft and include a patio area for al fresco dining, with steps down to an area of lawn, bordered by timber fencing and dotted with established shrubs and trees. At the end of the gardens, a timber-framed summerhouse provides further outside space in which to relax, with its second patio area in front.
