Woodley

A very individual, 4-bedroom, family home sitting in pretty gardens extending to about just under one acre leading down to the River Loddon.
Being sold with no onward chain

Rundale is thought to have once served as the powerhouse and laundry for the neighbouring Sandford Manor. Converted into a residence in the early 1970s, it has since been extended and tastefully updated. The current owners have recently replaced the windows, bathrooms, and selected flooring, creating a stylish and comfortable family home.
Approached via a private lane shared with four other properties, the gravelled driveway¿bordered by lawns and mature hedging¿leads to the front entrance and an adjacent double garage.
Inside, a generous triple-aspect living room features oak flooring with underfloor heating, a wood-burning stove, and an open-tread staircase to the first floor. The kitchen offers two runs of base units with extensive work surfaces, an integrated oven, hob and extractor, plus a sink beneath a window. Quarry-tiled flooring continues into a useful rear area with garden access and a cupboard housing the oil-fired boiler for heating and hot water. A further reception room, currently arranged as a library, connects to a ground-floor bedroom and a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding bath, large shower enclosure, and stylish floor-to-ceiling tiling. A separate utility room provides sinks, laundry space, and additional storage.


Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a contemporary shower room with a walk-in enclosure, vanity unit, and contrasting wall and floor tiles.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens slope gently down to the River Loddon, offering direct river access. Mature trees and established hedging ensure privacy and shade; Please note that one of the trees is subject to a preservation order.


Within the garden stands a generously sized studio¿ideal as a home office, games room, or gym¿complete with power, a wood-burning stove, and a gardener¿s WC outside. The double garage also benefits from internal power and lighting, and its roof has been recently renewed.
