Rotten Row, Bradfield, Berkshire

Rose Cottage is a charming detached period property, set in the small and peaceful village of Tutts Clump in the heart of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape.

The property features three bedrooms, three reception rooms and a wealth of attractive
original details throughout. The main reception room is the well-proportioned drawing room, which has a dual aspect welcoming plenty of natural light and affording views across the
beautiful garden. There is space for two discreet seating areas, or a seating area plus a study area or dining table, and the room features a splendid brick-built open fireplace. Additional reception rooms include the formal dining room, also with a dual aspect, and towards the rear, the snug room, which has a door providing access to the rear garden. There is also a well-equipped kitchen with storage units to base and wall level, an Everhot range and space for a breakfast table for informal dining, while the adjoining utility room offers further storage and space for home appliances.

Upstairs there are three well-presented double bedrooms of similar proportions, all of which benefit from built-in storage. The first floor also has a family bathroom with an over-bath shower, and an additional shower room with a heated chrome towel rail and plenty of bathroom storage in fitted low-level cupboards.

The house occupies a corner plot on a peaceful residential lane, with open field and woodland just moments away. The plot is bordered by established hedgerow, with the house surrounded by the well-tended country garden. At the front, a gate opens onto a brick pathway leading to the entrance, with the pathway continuing around the house to the patio area at the rear, which is an ideal space for al fresco dining. The patio is bordered by colourful border flowerbeds, while beyond there is an elevated lawn, which wraps around to the rear, side and front of the cottage and is dotted and bordered with mature trees, established shrubs and flowering perennials, as well as topiary hedges. Outbuildings include the timber framed workshop and log store at the rear, while at the front there is a double open garage providing covered parking and floor-boarded above with storage, with a driveway in front providing further parking space.

The property is located on the edge of the small village of Tutts Clump, close to Bradfield and nine miles west of the bustling town of Reading. The village is surrounded by the stunning countryside of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while nearby, Bradfield provides a variety of everyday amenities, including a village store, a local pub, a primary school and Bradfield College, an independent secondary school. Reading provides for any additional requirements, including a choice of large supermarkets and leisure facilities, while the town is an excellent
shopping destination.
