Detached house for sale in Reading RG7, 4 Bedroom

Spinney Cottage is an idyllic cottage property which benefits from a light and airy feel to the interior and has been decorated in a neutral colour scheme.

The reception hall leads through into the spacious sitting room which features a vaulted ceiling, hardwood flooring and attractive exposed timber beams with glazed double doors opening to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and countryside beyond. The kitchen and breakfast room features cream shaker-style units, and an Esse range oven housed in a traditional tiled recess. The room features terracotta tiled flooring which also flows into the adjacent utility room. Glazed double doors by the breakfast area open up the space to the garden, creating the ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Also on the ground floor, the good-sized dining room and TV Room, sharing a log burner in a recess in the wall between the two rooms. On the first floor, the master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with skylights and a Juliet balcony with excellent views, as well as a large shower room.

Two further bedrooms on this floor, in addition to one on the second floor, are serviced by a generously-sized family bathroom with separate shower.

Situated on the edge of Mortimer village, the property enjoys a very rural feel to its location yet is close to good everyday amenities including a small supermarket with post office, bakery/café, hairdressers, doctor's surgery and three public houses. The village has a vibrant, friendly and inclusive community with many societies and clubs. Livery stables can be found a very short walk away down the lane, and the surrounding area is wonderful for riding and walking. For a wide variety of shopping, leisure, cultural and dining options, the city of Reading is just a few miles away (and can be reached in under 15 minutes from Mortimer mainline station). The property also benefits from excellent road links thanks to the proximity of the M4, and there is a great selection of educational facilities in the area in both the state
and independent sectors.

Spinney Cottage occupies a wonderful position down a very quiet lane, and has ample parking space for 3 to 4 cars. The current owners have converted the double garage into a storage room, but it could easily be reinstated if required. Thanks to its elevated position, there are superb views of the surrounding farmland owned by the Englefield Estate, especially from the raised patio which leads from the kitchen/ breakfast room. The garden and surrounds are a haven for wildlife and for bird watching, while the outdoor space is also ideal for those wishing to keep chickens or bees. The garden is mostly laid to lawn and features apple trees and a plum tree, which are particularly stunning during Spring time.
