5 bed detached house for sale

Ashmore Green Road, Thatcham RG18

Situated on a sought-after road leading south out of Ashmore Green, Springfields is an impressive family home surrounded by beautiful countryside. The detached house was built in 1992 and is deceptively large and secluded, with an unassuming appearance from the road that belies the substantial property and its fabulous garden to the rear. The house has been subject to a programme of renovations, including an extension, loft conversion, creating an open plan kitchen and the highlight, an oak-framed garden room to the rear which has a wonderfully green aspect.

The attractive interiors have been renovated to include a modern kitchen, updated bathrooms and cosmetic decoration throughout. The reception hall, with its feature staircase, sets a striking first impression, leading to the rest of the accommodation which comprises a reception room with wood-burning stove, a home office, open plan kitchen/dining room and the glazed garden room to the rear. There is also a laundry room, a cloakroom with WC and, ideal for multi-generational living, a large double bedroom with dressing room and en suite bath/shower room. The first floor has four sizeable bedrooms, two of which are en suite, plus a family bathroom and a study area. On the top floor there is a large attic bedroom/storage space which offers great scope for a number of different uses.

Outside

To the front, a gravel driveway and pretty front garden is enclosed by a wooden post and rail fence, with access to the ample off-road parking via a wooden five-bar gate. There is also a detached double garage. To the rear, the expansive gardens are impressively large and secluded, with mature trees around the boundary and an array of interesting greenery and flowerbeds bordering the good-size lawn. A large paved terrace adjoining the house provides a pleasant setting for outdoor entertaining, while to the rear of the garden there is a swimming pool, a further terrace and an outbuilding with a games room, storage space and sauna.
