Hermitage Road, Cold Ash, Thatcham, Berkshire

Mole End is a truly individual and beautifully appointed detached home, offering an exceptional blend of character, generous proportions and flexible living. Remodelled to a high standard in 2016 and thoughtfully redecorated over the years, this is a property that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.

From the outset, the home impresses with its spacious and welcoming entrance, setting the tone for the light-filled and versatile accommodation beyond. The ground floor flows effortlessly, combining open-plan elements with defined living spaces, ideal for both family life and entertaining.

The kitchen has shaker-style fitted units, wooden worktops and space for a range cooker, as well as space for a family dining table. At the heart of the home lies a striking sitting room, enhanced by a vaulted ceiling, skylights and a dramatic gable-end window that floods the space with natural light. Wooden flooring and a log burner create warmth and sophistication, while the seamless connection to the reception hall and kitchen/dining area provides a wonderful sense of continuity.

The property offers four generously proportioned double bedrooms, a rare and highly desirable feature. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, offering flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or home working.
A particularly unique aspect of the home is its two separate staircases, each leading to an individual first-floor bedroom, creating a sense of privacy and character rarely found in modern homes.

There are three large, well-appointed bathrooms, all finished to a generous scale; one features a full-sized bath, ideal for relaxation, two are designed with spacious shower rooms, offering both practicality and style.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the rear, a substantial double garage provides excellent storage and secure parking, complemented by additional parking for two vehicles on a paved area.
To the front, the home is framed by a large, mature garden, beautifully landscaped with established trees and shrubs, offering both privacy and charm. A newly decorated, expansive patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A short distence behind the property lies woodland with scenic walking paths.

The property is situated in the small village of Cold Ash, two miles north of the bustling market town of Thatcham. The village has a village store and post office, plus two local pubs, while there are also two primary schools in the village.
