Reading Road, Darby Green, GU17

Set in grounds of approximately 3/4 acre in a conservation area at the end of a private lane, on Yateley Common, with a high degree of seclusion in a stunning rural setting. The thatch on this stunning cottage was replaced in 2018 and at the same time the kitchen was extended using traditional materials. The Cottage is steeped in history and is the birthplace of the local historian Sydney Loader. The immense charm runs throughout with many exposed timbers and open fireplaces. The front door opens into a large reception room with an exposed brick central fireplace which creates a perfect division between a sitting room and a formal dining area. Recent alterations to the cottage include a tremendous 30 foot kitchen family room creating a wonderful area for family living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke units under an expanse of granite work surfaces with space for a large range style cooker complemented with a central island unit. A door leads to the outside to the garden. There is a separate study and a utility room adjacent to a newly fitted downstairs cloakroom. The first floor is of equal merit providing four bedrooms. In the older part of the cottage there are two double bedrooms both served with a separate shower room. As part of the alterations carried out in 2018 a large principal suite and another bedroom were added above the kitchen providing an 18‘x 12‘ bedroom, fitted wardrobes and views out over the gardens. Both bedrooms on the side of the cottage are accompanied by a beautifully fitted family bathroom with a separate shower and a roll top bath.

Outside

The Cottage is approached via a private lane over Yateley Common leading to just three properties.
