Chandlers Cottage, constructed in 2015, is an individual detached residence that sits on a delightful plot of just under 3 acres which wrap around the house. Located in Wick Hill Lane that is a much sought after, non-estate rural area of Finchampstead and is a short walk away from the National Trust woodland whilst still having easy access to both M3 and M4.

The property offers well over 5,000 sq ft of flexible living space across two floors, each of which have underfloor heating, concrete floors and double skinned interior walls securing excellent sound insulation. After entering through the double front doors, the ground floor features a grand and spacious entrance hall which acts as both a room to welcome guests but is also ample enough for relaxation and reflection. This triple height space at the heart of the property provides access to the formal reception rooms that are currently being utilised as a large living room with a feature brick and oak chimney housing a wide modern log burner; a snug, which is the perfect room to unwind in the evenings with a glass of wine and a book; and a study, with multiple built in desks and storage is perfect for working from home, and schooling. All of these rooms are well proportioned and bay fronted making them light and airy.

With multiple charging ports, plenty of storage space and speakers installed in the ceiling the area you will want to spend more time cooking and relaxing together.
