A Charming Family Home in a Delightful Rural Setting

Lime Trees is a beautifully presented family home, thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners to create superb living and entertaining spaces.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan Neptune kitchen/breakfast room flows seamlessly into the garden room, creating a wonderful space for everyday living. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and floor cabinets by Neptune and electric Aga, while the adjoining garden room features a stunning lantern roof light, a wood-burning stove, and bi-fold doors opening to the terrace — all complemented by underfloor heating.

In addition, there is a separate sitting room with an open fireplace and doors leading directly to the terrace, and a formal dining room with its own fireplace and a charming bay window offering far-reaching views.

On the first floor, there are five double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. The entire top
floor is dedicated to an impressive Principal suite, complete with a Neville Johnson dressing area with fitted wardrobes, an en suite bathroom, and glorious countryside views.

Gardens and Grounds
Lime Trees sits within approximately 0.5 acres of private, secluded gardens. Accessed via electric timber gates, a large gravel driveway provides ample parking.

The gardens wrap around the house and are predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by mature hedges and shrubs, creating a tranquil and enclosed setting. A delightful terrace at the rear of the house, featuring a vine-covered pergola, provides the perfect spot for dining while enjoying stunning views across the rolling countryside.

A few steps lead down to the lower lawn, which stretches to the southern boundary. In addition, there is a productive kitchen garden with raised beds and a greenhouse, ideal for those with a passion for gardening.

Location
Lime Trees is situated on the outskirts of the grounds of St Andrew’s Preparatory School in the peaceful hamlet of Buckhold, just three miles from the vibrant Thameside village of Pangbourne.

Pangbourne offers a fantastic range of amenities, including an award-winning butcher, a specialist cheese shop, a delicatessen, and various independent stores. The village benefits from a mainline railway station, providing regular services to London Paddington in under an hour.

Nearby Reading offers a comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, with excellent rail connections to London Paddington and Waterloo, and the added convenience of Crossrail services. The M4 motorway (Junction 12) is approximately six miles away, offering easy access to London, Heathrow Airport (around 40 minutes by car), and the wider motorway network.

The area is well served by a wide selection of highly regarded schools, both state and independent, and offers abundant opportunities for outdoor pursuits, with extensive countryside walks and riding available nearby — including Cullinghood livery and riding stables across the fields.
