SITUATION
Believed to have Saxon origins, the small village of Tidmarsh lies astride the A340 Pangbourne to Theale road and is very conveniently located just to the west of Reading in delightful open countryside. The River Pang flows through the village along the east side from its source high up in the Berkshire Downlands, on its way to meet the Thames at Pangbourne and historically the long straight road between Pangbourne and Theale is attributed to the Romans being a direct route from Silchester (Calleva) to the nearest crossing point on the Thames. 

The Parish Church of Saint Laurence has Norman origins notably with a superb carved doorway and one of the few apses found in the County, The 12th century Greyhound Inn, which has been serving ale since 1625, is of cruck timber frame construction with a thatched roof which sweeps down almost to the ground at the rear. In the centre of the village is the Millennium Recreation Ground. The countryside surrounding the village is particularly scenic and designated an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’.

There are excellent road links to the M4 motorway and Reading and for rail commuters there are mainline stations at Pangbourne and Theale providing excellent services to Reading and London (Paddington) in under the hour.

In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and secondary schooling, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular note; Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.

Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Built in the Mid 1990’s by Bewley Homes, 8 Strachey Close is a recently extended immaculate house with pretty brick and flint elevations under a clay tile roof.  Entrance is under an oak frame porch into the hallway.  The glazed front door and fixed panel allow for much natural light and tiled flooring runs all the way through from the hall to the kitchen, dining, utility and sitting room.  At the front of the house are both the family room and study.  The study has a cupboard and then integral door leads into the double garage.  Next to the family room is the cloakroom and then a door takes you into the kitchen / dining room.  The kitchen has grey shaker style units and a corner larder.   The island incorporates a breakfast bar and naturally separates the kitchen from the dining area.  Bi-fold doors give direct access onto the terrace and garden views beyond.  The sitting room also looks over the garden.  There is a separate utility room with back door for side access. Upstairs is a galleried landing with airing cupboard and loft access.  The main bedroom is a larger than average suite with views across to the fields.  There is a walk in wardrobe and separate ensuite with bath and tiled shower cubicle.  The second bedroom suite has double wardrobes and an ensuite shower room.  There are 2 further bedrooms with built in wardrobes and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower.  Immaculately presented throughout, the property is a wonderful family home. 

OUTSIDE
Sitting privately behind a hedged boundary, the property is approached across a wide paved driveway leading up to the double garage and offering parking for 4 cars. There is a large lawned area with shrubs and a pathway leading to the front door.  The double garage has an up and over electric door.  There is a gate to the right hand side leading to the main West facing garden at the rear, which is open and sunny.  A large paved terrace spans the back of the property offering a wonderful “al fresco” dining and entertaining opportunity.  Bricked planters and wide borders adjoin a large lawned area and are a mass with shrubs, greenery and flowers.  Adjoining fields behind, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.16 of an Acre.
