Beechfield Lane, Frilsham, Berkshire, RG18

This beautifully appointed detached home offers an exceptional level of flexibility, with the majority of the accommodation thoughtfully arranged across the ground floor. Nestled along a quiet lane in the highly regarded village of Frilsham, the property enjoys an enviable setting, surrounded by rolling countryside and miles of picturesque walking routes right on the doorstep.

From the moment you arrive, the sense of privacy is immediate. The house is discreetly set back behind a gravelled driveway, with mature hedging and trees framing the front approach. The property unfolds to reveal a series of light-filled and generously proportioned spaces that cater equally well to entertaining and day-to-day family life.

At the heart of the home lies the main reception area: a beautifully balanced sitting room that flows into the dining room via double doors. These can be left open to create one expansive space or closed for a more intimate setting. Both rooms feature elegant bay windows, adding character and natural light. A separate study provides a quiet spot for working from home, while the conservatory opens out to views of the garden and the inviting, heated swimming pool beyond.

The kitchen is a standout feature – smartly designed with a central island, quality fittings, and a seamless connection to the utility room, which links through to a ground-floor shower room and the integral garage. A particularly striking room sits to one end of the house – currently configured as a media room, this expansive space could easily serve as the principal bedroom, complete with its own en suite and French doors that open directly to the garden.

In addition, the ground floor offers two further double bedrooms and a stylish shower room, while upstairs, two more bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family or guests.

Outside, the grounds are a true extension of the living space. The rear garden enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion, bordered by open fields on one side and established planting throughout. The heated swimming pool sits adjacent to the house, with a broad terrace offering plenty of room for outdoor entertaining. A decked area to the rear features a summer house and hot tub – the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy long summer evenings or peaceful mornings.

There’s also excellent practical provision, with parking for several vehicles, an EV charging point, and a screened section housing two garden sheds. The layout, both inside and out, offers a remarkable combination of style, versatility, and tranquillity – a home that adapts effortlessly to changing needs and makes the most of its idyllic countryside surroundings.
