Knight Frank are delighted to offer this detached family home that offers bright, spacious and flexible accommodation designed for modern-day living and situated in the popular village of Shiplake with a railway station, Post Office, garage, butchers and a public house within a short distance.
The property comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms, three reception rooms, a kitchen and a utility.
Manor Croft is an excellent, five bedroom family house that occupies an enviable position on Northfield Avenue in Shiplake. The house benefits from a spacious living room and bedroom accommodation on two floors and a large garden that is approximately 0.5 acres in size.
The property is entered via a spacious reception hall. To the left is a study and WC, and to the right is a large living room spanning the house's full depth with a lovely stone fire surround and sliding doors opening on to the patio and rear garden beyond. From the living room, double doors open into the family/games room, with its large bay window providing views and access to the rear garden. The well-equipped kitchen/dining room lies adjacent to the family room. It has a range of eye and base level units, granite work surfaces, a central island and a pantry cupboard. There is a separate utility room with a sink, storage cupboards and access to the garden. A door from the kitchen opens into the integral double garage, which completes the accommodation on the ground floor.
Upstairs there are five double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite has fitted wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom with a separate shower and double sinks. The guest bedroom has fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room. There are a further three double bedrooms, all have fitted wardrobes and are served by the stylish family bathroom with a rolltop bath, double sinks and a separate shower cubicle.
There is scope and space to extend the property, subject to the usual planning regulations.
To the front of the property is a driveway with parking for several cars and access to the double garage. The front garden is laid mainly to lawn with mature hedging providing great privacy. The rear garden is also laid mainly to lawn with a lovely paved terrace across the length of the house and accessed from the games room, living room and kitchen, providing a wonderful space for al fresco entertaining. To one side of the terrace is a gravelled area with a BBQ. The garden is bordered by a mixture of wooden fencing and mature hedging, and to the far side of the property is a garden shed.
Northfield Avenue is a private no through road accessed from the heart of the village.
Shiplake is a very popular Thames-side village. Local amenities include a village shop/post office, butcher, garage, and The Baskerville, a pub and restaurant.
The railway station gives mainline access (via Twyford) in 8 minutes or Reading (18 minutes) with a fast service to London, Paddington (from 25 minutes), and also connection to the Elizabeth Line. Henley-on-Thames, Marlow and Reading are all within easy reach and offer a more comprehensive range of shopping, cafes, restaurants and recreational facilities.
The area is well served by schools, including Reading Blue Coat, Shiplake College, The Abbey School for Girls, and Queen Anne's in Caversham. Manor Croft is also in the catchment area of Shiplake Primary School.
There are boating activities on the River Thames, and Henley has the world-famous annual Henley Royal Regatta and hosts the Henley Festival of Music & Arts, Henley Literary Festival and regional farmers markets.
There are excellent walks beside the river into Henley and in the nearby Chiltern Hills.
