Beechfield Lane, Frilsham, Thatcham, Berkshire, RG18

Excellent detached home offering versatile accommodation, largely on the ground floor, with swimming pool and garaging, set within this popular village surrounded by incredible countryside.

Description

A beautifully presented detached property, idyllically set down a quiet lane in the beautiful village of Frilsham with a myriad of country walks and fabulous countryside on the doorstep.

The accommodation offers a high degree of flexibility, with a good number of rooms that could be utilised in different ways.

The ground floor offers excellent reception space with a sitting room which leads into the dining room through double doors that can be left open to create one large room or closed to create two separate rooms, both with bay windows, a study and a conservatory which overlooks the gardens and heated swimming pool. The kitchen is stylishly fitted with a central island and adjoins a useful utility room which in turn gives access to both a shower room and the garage. The main bedroom (currently used as a Media room) is linked via a walkway, being of generous proportions, with double doors to the garden and an en suite bathroom.

There are two additional double bedrooms on the ground floor, served by a shower room, with two further bedrooms on the first floor.

OUTSIDE

The house and gardens are very private, bordering fields to one side and not overlooked. To the front of the house is a gravelled driveway with space for three to four cars and an electric car charger. The garden wraps around from the front to a large lawn at the rear surrounded by hedges, trees and shrubs with a further screened area housing two garden sheds.

The heated swimming pool is ideally situated adjacent to the house, surrounded by a large paved terrace suitable for entertaining and al fresco dining and leading to a decking area with summer house and hot tub, from which there are wonderful views of the garden.

Location

Situated within the sought after village of Frilsham, the surrounding countryside is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the Berkshire Downs, with a network of footpaths and bridleways. Frilsham and its neighbouring village of Yattendon (1.4 miles away) have an active local community with some excellent facilities, including a primary school, church, village shop, café and hairdresser. The renowned Pot Kiln gastro pub/restaurant is less than a mile away (or less if walking over the fields), and the Royal Oak is located in Yattendon.

The larger towns of Newbury (8.6 miles), Reading (13.3 miles) and Pangbourne (6.8 miles) provide a more comprehensive range of facilities. There are many sporting facilities in the area including golf courses at Donnington Valley and Donnington Grove (9 miles) and Theale Golf Club (8.4 miles). Newbury Racecourse offers many race days (9.7 miles) and there is a tennis club at Cold Ash (5 miles).
The area boasts a good range of well regarded schools, both primary and secondary, private and state. Independent schools include Brockhurst & Marlsdon House, Elstree, Cheam, Downe House, St. Gabriel's, Horris Hill and Bradfield College.

Local Communications are excellent with trains from Pangbourne to London Paddington from 45 minutes, or from Reading via the Elizabeth Line, to London Paddington in as little as 23 minutes (or beyond to the east side of London). The M4 J12 and the A34 are accessible. Reading Station (13.2 miles) is a hub for both the Heathrow and Gatwick Express coach service.
