The village of Upper Basildon sits on the edge of the Berkshire Downlands in an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ with far reaching scenic countryside surrounding it on all sides.

The village itself offers a range of amenities including a parish church, community Post Office, highly regarded C of E primary school, and a traditional Public House serving local ale and food. A splendid new village hall which has become the centre for a variety of community sports and activities utilising its adjoining sports field and tennis courts exists also. A local bus company runs a limited service from the village to Pangbourne on Thames, where a mainline railway station with fast commuter services up to London (Paddington) in well under the hour (25 minutes from Reading) can be found.

Bradfield College, the well-known Public School located some three miles from Upper Basildon, has excellent leisure, fitness and sports facilities including a large indoor swimming pool all of which are available for use by members of the public. The facilities also include squash, badminton and tennis courts, hockey and a 9-hole golf course.

In addition to having its own well revered primary school, locally the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of both state and private schooling, of particular note; St Andrews Prep School, Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, Downe House, Cranford House, Moulsford Preparatory, Abingdon Boys and The School of St Helen & Katharine.
Property description


Built in the 1950’s, Tiled Cottage has been totally renovated and extended in recent years to provide a well appointed, contemporary home, including a vaulted reception room coming off the beautifully crafted kitchen and 4 luxurious bathrooms. With black painted boards and rendered elevations under a tiled roof, it sits very attractively within its boundaries. Entrance is into a large hall with wood flooring, which runs through into the reception rooms and the oak panelled doors compliment the look. The sitting room is at the front of the property and has a wood burner. An inner hall leading into the kitchen has 2 built in cupboards and a spacious utility room. The room then opens into the kitchen which has grey fitted units with quartz worktops. A large island naturally separates the room from the stunning vaulted sitting dining room. There are bi-fold doors allowing for masses of natural light and with views of the terrace and garden it offers a most appealing connection to outside and that of an “al fresco” lifestyle. The main bedroom has wall to wall built in wardrobes and French doors provide garden access. There is an ensuite with bath and overhead shower. There are 3 further bedrooms, 2 with ensuites and fitted wardrobes. Additionally there is a family shower room. Tiled Cottage provides versatile and sophisticated accommodation with an open plan element. An early viewing is recommended.
Outside


Sitting privately behind hedging, Tiled Cottage is set well back from the road with gates leading onto the gravelled driveway offering parking for several cars to the front.
