Description

Owners Comments…

From the moment you arrive, this home feels like your own private Mediterranean retreat. Although nestled in the heart of Shinfield, we set out to create a lifestyle inspired by the relaxed elegance of Greece and the Mediterranean — a vision we have lovingly crafted, extended, and refined over the past 19 years since owning the property from new.

At its heart lies the heated swimming pool, complete with hydro-jet swim system, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, whitewashed walls, and mature olive trees that instantly transport you to a sun-drenched coastal escape. Whether enjoying a morning swim, relaxing poolside with your favourite cocktail, or unwinding beneath the glow of the evening garden lights while the patio heaters flicker into life, every day here feels like a permanent holiday away from the pace of everyday life.

For car enthusiasts, the bespoke Ferrari-inspired garage is a true sanctuary — an exceptional space designed not only for practicality but pure enjoyment. Featuring smart LED lighting, integrated sound system, television, and extensive storage, it’s the perfect place to indulge your passion and lose track of time.

During the summer months, we just love opening the dual-aspect bi-fold doors completely, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living into one luxurious entertaining space. It’s easy to spend entire afternoons by the pool, enjoying great food, music, and watching live sport on the big screen with friends and family. Nature lovers will appreciate the unique setting backing directly onto woodland, with private gated access leading straight into the trees for peaceful walks and quiet moments immersed in nature. We often joke that we’re not sure who will miss this home more — us or the cats.
Practicality has always matched the lifestyle this home offers. With excellent access to the M4 and close proximity to many of the most highly regarded schools in Reading and Wokingham, the location has been ideal for family life. The generous driveway parking for up to six cars has also proved invaluable when hosting gatherings and celebrations.

This is far more than simply a house — it’s a home filled with unforgettable memories, designed to be enjoyed, shared, and truly lived in. We have loved every moment here and know whoever becomes its next owner will fall in love with it just as deeply as we have. Leaving it behind will be incredibly difficult.
Dan & Neil Estate Agents’ comments…

Welcome to one of the most impressive homes on the most desirable road in Shinfield, a property with serious wow factor from the moment you arrive. With fantastic curb appeal, electric gates, a double garage and beautifully landscaped surroundings, this is a home that makes an impression before you’ve even stepped inside.

The entrance hall is simply stunning; bright, spacious and instantly inviting, setting the tone for the rest of this amazing family home. Downstairs has been thoughtfully designed for modern living, with underfloor heating throughout, a handy downstairs W.C. and two large storage cupboards tucked neatly beneath the staircase.

One side of the home is dedicated to a beautiful front-to-back lounge, offering the perfect balance of cosy evenings and stylish entertaining space. But the real showstopper is across the rear of the property, where the home has been opened up and extended to create an incredible social hub. This breathtaking space is flooded with natural light and features dual-aspect bifold doors that completely transform the connection between inside and out.

Step into the landscaped garden and you’ll immediately see why this home stands out from the crowd. Backing directly onto woodland, the garden feels wonderfully private and peaceful. There’s a heated swim-against pool for year-round enjoyment, outdoor electrics and sockets, and even an outside speaker system to make entertaining effortless.

Upstairs, the property offers five spacious bedrooms, including two fantastic en suites and an impressive five-piece family bathroom finished to a high standard. Every inch of the home has been designed with comfort and practicality in mind, including a full speaker and lighting system inside and a water softener running throughout the house.

You have a gated driveway with plenty of parking and the double garage has also been fully renovated with plaster-boarded walls, electric garage door access and excellent boarded storage in the eaves complete with ladder and lighting, perfect for your pride of joy car or a workshop. And if you’re looking for even more flexibility, the summerhouse currently works perfectly as a gym, alongside separate storage for bikes and gardening equipment.

This is more than just a house, it’s an amazing lifestyle home with space, style and standout features in every direction.
