5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Croft Road, Shinfield, Reading RG2

Approached via a country lane in a village setting, The Mead forms part of an impressive country house which has been sympathetically divided to create a wonderful family home. Featuring black and white timbered elevations the property offers generously proportioned rooms that are complimented by a high standard of presentation and landscaped gardens.

The property retains many original features and you enter via an impressive reception hall that has been shelved and is used as a library. The 30' drawing room has a period fireplace with panelled walls and French doors, complimented by a study/5th bedroom with an adjacent shower room. The main hub of the house is the light and airy kitchen-dining room with a vaulted ceiling and direct access to the delightful glazed veranda that is ideal al-fresco dining.

Garden

The gardens are a particular feature and extend to the front and side of the house with a part-walled lawned frontage with box hedging. Shallow steps lead down to an area of enclosed landscaped garden enclosed to the rear by mature red robins. At the side of the house there is an rustic creeper clad archway to an area of paved patio with an impressive glazed veranda which is also accessed from the kitchen with raised planters and brick-paving that creates a wonderful al-fresco dining area with a door to the garage. There is also a small area at the rear of the property with a wood store.
