Description

Knappswood Lodge isn't your average family home. For more than 20 years it's been the backdrop to birthdays, celebrations and countless family gatherings, and it's easy to understand why. With a heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, palm trees and even a bespoke cocktail bar at the heart of the house, there's a touch of Club Tropicana about this place, all tucked away in a peaceful Berkshire setting.

Set behind private gates on a plot of around 0.3 acres, the house offers far more than first meets the eye. There's plenty of gravelled parking, front and rear gardens to enjoy, and a detached former double garage that has been converted into a highly versatile space, ideal as an annexe, studio, gym, home office or somewhere to run a business.

Inside, the kitchen and dining room is every bit the social hub you'd expect, complete with a large island, separate utility room and adjoining store room. At the rear, an additional reception room provides plenty of extra living space, while the main lounge centres around a feature fireplace and even hides a cosy library area.

Connecting it all is the feature that really sets this home apart. Right in the middle of the house sits a custom-built bar, creating a unique entertaining space before friends and family spill out onto the patio, the pool and the garden beyond.

Upstairs are four genuine double bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite with en-suite bathroom, alongside a generous family bathroom. There's also a useful loft room that has served as everything from an occasional bedroom to a games room, hobby room and children's den over the years.

Upper Basildon enjoys a lovely semi-rural setting surrounded by beautiful countryside, while remaining within easy reach of Pangbourne and Reading. Excellent road and rail connections also make it well placed for commuting, with a number of highly regarded schools nearby.

If you enjoy entertaining, bringing people together or simply want a home that offers something a little different, Knappswood Lodge is one that's likely to stay in your memory long after you've left.

Secure Sale & Buyer Information Pack Disclosure

This property is being marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to help speed up the transaction and provide greater certainty for both buyers and sellers.
As part of this process, key legal searches are ordered at the point the property is listed, rather than after a sale is agreed. This work, which can typically take several weeks in a standard transaction, is prepared upfront and made available to the successful buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

To proceed with an offer, the successful buyer will be required to purchase the Buyer Information Pack at a cost of £325 + VAT. This pack includes the searches and supporting legal information that a buyer would usually need to obtain separately after agreeing a purchase.
In addition, and in line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks. These checks are payable separately and are required before the transaction can progress.

This upfront approach helps:
Reduce delays once an offer is agreed
Improve transparency for all parties
Support a smoother and more reliable sales process

Disclaimer Statement:
These property particulars are issued in good faith but do not form part of any offer or contract. All descriptions, floorplans, photographs and other information are provided as a guide only and may not be exact. Buyers are advised to verify key facts such as tenure, planning permissions, fixtures and fittings, lease length, ground rent, service charges, council tax band and energy performance rating through their legal representative.

In line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all named purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks.
The cost of AML checks is £20 + VAT per person (£24 including VAT) and is payable separately. All required AML checks must be completed before the transaction can progress.

We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of this information. Material information is provided in line with current National Trading Standards guidance and relevant consumer protection legislation. Please contact us if you require clarification on any point before making a transactional decision.
