Hillside, Burghfield Common, Reading, Berkshire, RG7

noir by david cliff – A Substantial Village Home with Versatile Outbuildings

Set in the heart of Burghfield Common, this impressive six bedroom detached home offers over 3,400 sq ft of beautifully arranged and highly versatile living space, incorporating the main house, a collection of outbuildings and a detached double garage. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced by its current owners, Hillside has been designed to offer flexibility in abundance, catering perfectly for evolving family needs, multi-generational living or those looking for space to work from home without compromise.

The ground floor strikes a fine balance between modern practicality and characterful charm. At its centre, the open plan kitchen and dining room provides a bright and sociable hub, reconfigured with Building Regulations approval to create a seamless flow between spaces. Modern cabinetry and integrated appliances sit alongside generous dining and entertaining areas, with doors leading directly out to the garden. A more traditional sitting room offers a cosy retreat, featuring exposed beams and a striking brick fireplace housing a log burning stove, while French doors open onto the terrace and gardens beyond. Four well-proportioned double bedrooms complete the ground floor, one of which the current owners use as a snug, highlighting the flexibility of this space. A dedicated study further enhances the layout, making the home ideally suited to modern family life.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two outstanding principal suites. Each benefits from its own beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom, combining comfort and style, while the larger suite also enjoys the addition of a walk-through wardrobe. This arrangement ensures the first floor is as private as it is luxurious, creating a wonderful retreat away from the main living areas.

Burghfield Common itself is a thriving and sought after village, offering a wealth of amenities including shops, cafés, a bakery, pharmacy, health centre, leisure centre and both primary and secondary schools. The property enjoys excellent connectivity, with Mortimer and Theale train stations close by and the M4 at Junctions 11 and 12 providing straightforward access to London, Reading and beyond. Beautiful woodland walks and surrounding countryside are only moments from the doorstep, giving this home the rare combination of village convenience and rural charm.
