Chapel Drive, Reading

The Property

This unique property offers a bespoke design, constructed by the current owner to create ideal executive and family living, with optimal versatility.
Merging character elements and modern spaces with classic styles, the home is finished to a high specification, with good quality fixtures and fittings. Substantial reception spaces feature, with great choice for entertaining guests, whilst there is plenty of room for time to oneself.
An ideal hub is presented by a spacious open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, with a focal point chimney breast and wood burner, space for a variety of furnishings and an integrated kitchen, well equipped with appliances, including a convection oven. A useful study and a good sized utility/boot room conveniently link to the open plan space.
A triple aspect living room extends in excess of 22ft by 23ft, with both a bi-folding door and French-style doors to the garden. A further separate dining room offers plentiful space, whilst a generous reception hall gives access to the main living areas, a cloakroom and the staircase, rising to a galleried landing.
Upstairs, five great sized double bedrooms feature a notable master suite offering remarkable countryside views from a private balcony. A four-piece en suite complements the master, including a separate bath and shower, whilst a dressing room benefits from a skylight.
The option for a home office or annexe style space is presented by the second bedroom. Offering a sense of seclusion, the bedroom/office is tucked away, accessed via a separate staircase to the other bedrooms, offering a three-piece, en suite bath.
A two-piece en suite serves the third bedroom, a family bathroom benefitting the remaining two rooms. Fibre broadband further features to the accommodation.

The Grounds

Enjoy the countryside backdrop from the south easterly aspect rear gardens, largely laid to lawn and established, whilst studded with mature trees. A courtyard-style setting wraps the rear of the house, offering plenty of space for social events. To the front of the property, ample parking is provided, with a double garage and driveway.

Location

This residence combines a quiet rural parish setting with excellent road links. Scenic countryside views extend to the rear of the property, well-positioned along a no-through road, with connections to the A33, directly linking to the M4.
A cluster of local villages offer convenient facilities and the chance to explore. Modern shopping experiences, along with train services to London Waterloo and Paddington are provided in the towns of Reading and Basingstoke. Mortimer Station also provides good branch services. Attractions within easy reach of the property include De Vere Wokefield Estate Golf Club and Wellington Country Park. Independent schools such as Sherfield School, Crosfields, Ludgrove, St. Neots, Daneshill, Bradfield and Elstree also meet your children's educational needs.

Agent's Comments

"A wonderful family home, designed and built by the current owner. One particular feature of note is the balcony leading from the master bedroom which makes the most of beautiful, far-reaching views over the neighbouring countryside."

Vendor Comments

"We designed and built our house in 1990, so we could stay in the village with a growing family. We chose the nearest active brickworks at Selborne for the walls, hence the name of the house. The children are now all settled and moved away, so it’s time for a new chapter in the life of this home. We hope someone will love Selborne House as much as we have for the last 30 years."
