Flowers Hill, Pangbourne, Reading, RG8

A impressive and substantial property in popular Pangbourne.

Description

Built a little over twenty years ago, Chestnuts is a substantial, contemporary three-storey residence offering exceptionally spacious living accommodation. The property is set well back within its generous plot, positioned behind secure electric gates on a desirable residential road, close to both the village high street and the mainline station with direct services to London.
A striking entrance hallway features high ceilings, with a galleried landing above. The kitchen enjoys views over the rear garden and includes two sets of French doors opening onto the terrace. This space comfortably accommodates both a dining area and informal family dining. The kitchen is fitted with excellent cabinetry, stone worktops, integrated appliances, and a generous central island.
A useful utility/laundry room is at the far end of the kitchen with a door to outside. The formal dining room is accessible from both the hallway and the kitchen, therefore being ideal for entertaining. At the opposite end of the kitchen, a spacious family room features a fireplace and wide bi-fold doors leading directly to the garden.
The ground floor also includes a study with double doors, a magnificent drawing room, and a guest cloakroom.
The property’s solid concrete floors provide excellent sound insulation, complemented by individually zoned underfloor heating throughout the ground and first floors, radiators on the top floor, carpeting in the bedrooms, and a stylish mix of stone and wooden flooring on the ground level.
A sweeping wooden staircase leads up to the first floor and the galleried landing. There are five double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. The standout principal suite includes a large en-suite with both a bath and a separate shower, and opens through to an elegant dressing room with fitted wardrobes.
The top floor offers three further bedrooms, served by a family bathroom. This floor offers excellent versatility, with potential for all manner of uses such as a gym, games room, or home cinema.

Outside

The beautifully maintained south-facing rear garden is largely laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedges and specimen trees, offering excellent privacy. A wide paved terrace spans the rear of the property, accessible from both the kitchen and the family room, and features a wooden pergola with fittings for a canvas roof or drapes, ideal for shade or climbing plants. A productive apple tree provides seasonal fruit.
Set within approximately 0.7 acres, the property is framed by attractive brick and flint boundary walls and mature trees. The secure electric gates open onto a sweeping shingle driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles.
The detached double garage benefits from a room over which can be used either as overflow accommodation, a home office or a gym - all manner of uses. There is also a shower.
