5 bed detached house for sale

Ashmore Green Road, Thatcham RG18

Heatherdale has a delightful setting amongst mature gardens within the village of Ashmore Green, with excellent access to local amenities. The attractive family home was originally built in the late 1980s and has been well maintained, with recent updates including redecoration in the kitchen, a new conservatory and an added boot room. There is great potential to extend the house further, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions, by extending over the garage or to the rear. The layout is well planned and ideal for family life, including three generous reception rooms as well as the conservatory, plus five good-size bedrooms upstairs.
The house offers more than 2500 sq ft over two floors and has been decorated to a good standard, with attractive features including wood detailing in the main reception rooms. The open plan kitchen and breakfast room features modern cabinetry, a central island and premium Bosch appliances, with bifold doors opening to the rear garden providing lovely views over the outside space to the rear. The reception rooms are set around the central hallway and include a 22ft sitting room with wood-burning stove, which opens to the adjoining conservatory, a separate formal dining room, and a spacious study which would equally make a great family room, playroom or snug. Also downstairs is a cloakroom, laundry room and boot room with access from the rear. Upstairs all five bedrooms are a good size and can accommodate a double or king-size bed; the principal bedroom is en suite and has built-in storage, and there is a further en suite bedroom ideal for visiting guests. The remaining three bedrooms share a family bath and shower room.

Outside

Heatherdale is situated on the outskirts of Ashmore Green, in a generous plot with sizeable gardens of about 0.75 of an acre which back onto attractive countryside. The house is approached via a gravel driveway which leads up to a detached double garage and provides ample parking for a number of cars. The garden to the rear is wonderfully spacious and features a variety of mature trees around the boundary, making it feel very private. The planting is varied and offers a mix of colours and textures, including an impressive wisteria, and towards the rear there is a further area of orchard and raised planters. A terrace wraps around two sides of the house creating space for garden furniture and leading to the expansive lawn.
