About
Primely placed in The Ridges, oozing with period charm, this cottage has been reimagined over time to become a large family home with expansive views over Finchampstead's farmland.
With a striking exterior surrounded by landscaped multi-level gardens coming to approximately an acre, including a pond, patio and fruit trees.
Internally, there is a series of rooms to explore which have the potential to be opened up, the already generous living room has triple aspect views over the gardens and further afield.
Available to buy with no onward chain. Approaching the home from the road, there's a long gated driveway leading to the parking area and garage.
Through another gate you arrive at the rear of the property, with a glorious garden space leading to the door.
If you access the property from the rear you enter a hall which has the potential to become a fantastic "bootility".
There's a study to the left hand side, with feature fire place and a handy cloakroom.
A further family snug, the kitchen and dining room follow from the main hall, further leading to the large living room with the triple aspect views.
Upstairs, there are five bedrooms in total, with a family bathroom and additional shower room.
The impressive primary suite with shower room, fitted wardrobes and balcony offers fantastic countryside views, perfect for a morning cup of coffee.
As you walk round to the front of the property, there's a large garden with mature planting, fruit trees and wraps around to a sunken patio, perfect for hosting which can also be accessed via the living room's patio doors.
Further quirky features of this property include the two cellars for storage, a decked platform to take in the views and nearly 3,000sqft of internal space to make your own.
The home really offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a truly unique home in a prime Finchampstead location.
As the property is not listed, you have creative freedom subject to usual planning permissions to make this home your own.
