Chiltern Road, Peppard Common, RG9

Property

Greenmarch has been much improved in recent years by the current owners and offers a particularly appealing combination of well-presented accommodation, mature south-facing gardens and further potential.

The house sits comfortably back within its south facing plot of just under 0.5 acre, with the principal rooms looking out across the surrounding garden. From the moment you step into the hallway there is an immediate sense of light and space, something that continues throughout the house.

The sitting room is a particularly attractive room, with a wood-burning stove providing a natural focal point and full-width bi-fold doors opening directly onto the terrace and south-facing garden beyond. There is a separate dining room, while the generous kitchen leads through to a garden room, creating a pleasant sequence of spaces across the rear of the house.

A separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom add useful everyday practicality.

Upstairs are three generous bedrooms arranged around a particularly spacious landing, which is large enough to incorporate a study or reading area at one end.

The principal bedroom benefits from fitted his-and-hers wardrobes together with an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

The house has clearly benefited from the improvements made by the current owners, while still offering scope for a future owner to adapt or develop the accommodation further to suit their own needs.

Outside

The south-facing gardens are a particular feature of Greenmarch and create a lovely sense of space and privacy around the house.

The property is approached from Chiltern Road, an attractive unmade lane where the houses are set well back from the road, giving the setting a quiet and almost rural feel.

The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a broad terrace running along the house and providing an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Its southerly aspect allows the garden to enjoy plenty of sunlight throughout the day, while mature trees and well-established planted borders add structure and character.

A recently built garden cabin sits within the grounds and benefits from power and lighting. It is currently used as a fitness studio, although it could equally suit a home office, hobby room or creative space.

Location

Greenmarch is situated in Peppard Common, a highly regarded village approximately five miles south-west of Henley-on-Thames, surrounded by the attractive countryside of the Chilterns.

The village has a strong rural character, with open common land, woodland and a network of footpaths and trails creating excellent opportunities for walking and enjoying the surrounding countryside. The popular Unicorn pub sits at the heart of the village, while the village green and cricket club add to the established local community feel.

The neighbouring villages of Stoke Row and Sonning Common provide a broader range of shops, public houses, schools and everyday amenities, while Henley-on-Thames is within easy reach for a wider selection of independent shops, restaurants, riverside walks and leisure facilities.

For commuters, Reading is readily accessible and provides fast rail services to London, while regular bus services run through the village.

The combination of a peaceful village setting, mature surroundings and convenient access to Henley and Reading makes Peppard Common a particularly attractive place to live.
