Church Road, Farley Hill

Virginia Cottage is a home that has been loved by the current owners who have extensively modernised and extended the property resulting in a finished article that is seriously impressive.

This fabulous home, which now blends a cosy cottage feeling with modern, open living spaces, boasts an accommodation approaching 2500sqft offering an entrance hall, modern cloakroom, large exquisite formal sitting room with brick inglenook fireplace and exposed timber beams, large second sitting room/family room with bi-folding doors to the garden, study/snug, large breathtaking kitchen/breakfast/diner with doors to the garden, and a utility room.

The first floor offers a large, particularly impressive main bedroom with en suite shower room, entered via a dressing room with a high vaulted ceiling exposing the original timbers, three further great sized bedrooms, and a large modern family bathroom.

The frontage is beautifully presented with a driveway on both sides of the house providing parking with access to the garage. To the rear of the property is a pretty garden with stunning countryside views and enjoys an enhanced feeling of space with the ground level gradually dropping away beyond the perimeter fence. There is a detached summer house, access to the garage and side access to the front driveway.

The property offers double glazed windows and oil-fired central heating to radiators

LOCATION

The setting is simply one of the most desirable in the area, rural and quiet surrounded by woodland and fields, whilst being great for commuter links to Wokingham and Fleet mainline railway stations (Waterloo) and the major road links of the M3 & M4. There are several additional mainline railway stations to hand including Crowthorne, Twyford, Reading and Winchfield, all giving easy access to London.The area is well served by highly regarded state and independent schools including Farley Hill Primary School, Finchampstead Village Primary School, Charles Kingsley C of E, Bohunt, Eagle House, St. Neots, Ludgrove, Wellington and Redam House. This area is well catered for in terms of leisure and shopping facilities together with high-quality restaurants and public houses and is home to Farley Castle, a Gothic revival two-storey house in red brick with battlements and round turrets and was built by Martin-Atkins and Woodbury circa 1810 and was the former home of Benjamin Brodie. Farley Hill is well known locally as a delightful village community with plenty of green space and woodland walks.
