**The Pinnacle of Country Living** Noir by David Cliff are proud to offer to the market this beautiful detached family home located in rural Swallowfield. This home oozes potential and sits on approximately 2.4 acres. It is positioned behind gates down a quiet lane and offers fantastic views of the countryside from the front. The property was developed in 1938 initially for an army major and his wife. On his return from the second world war it was enjoyed as a family home until being sold to the village Doctor in 1954. There have been four owners throughout the lifetime of the property and was purchased by our seller in 1999 who has looked after it well ever since.
As you would expect with a property of this era, it is full of character and is very spacious throughout. There is a warm and homely feel to the property and it really is a fantastic opportunity for anyone that is looking for their forever home.
There are two entrances to the property accessed via the front. Our seller tends to primarily use the front door to the right which takes you into a boot room with a store room to the right and access to the kitchen on the left which is gorgeous. It is very well sized, it has beautiful wooden beams on the ceiling, hardwood floors, a Rayburn stove and a log burner. It overlooks the rear garden which really is a beautiful sight to behold.
The downstairs accommodation also boasts a long hallway, a porch, WC, a cosy living room, a sitting room and a large room with storage which is currently being used as a bedroom but could also be used as another living room, a child`s play area or an additional home working area. The area at the back of this room which is currently a dressing area could also be used for other things. It really is very versatile.
As you go upstairs you come to a large window that offers stunning country views. The first room that you come to as you walk down the landing is a generously sized double room currently being used as the master bedroom. It offers the same outlook and has storage. The room found at the back is also of a good size with plenty of storage, it certainly offers enough space for a double bed but our seller has looked into using this area to put in an En Suite and it`s definitely a possibility. The upstairs accommodation also boasts two bathrooms and a separate WC and two additional double bedrooms. A large linen store and separate airing cupboard are also accessed from the landing.
The rear garden is breathtaking. As mentioned before it sits on approximately 2.4 acres and has woodland to the right which is self-planted by the owner. There is also a large patio area and a kitchen garden bordered by outhouses, the garage and a log store. There is access to the front where there is a very good sized driveway that can accommodate parking for a number of vehicles. A paddock and small mature woodland complete the grounds.
This is definitely the sort of property that you really have to view to get an appreciation of what`s on offer here. It is well positioned being equidistant between the M3 & M4 offering good links to London, Wokingham and falls into catchment for popular schools. The property is located within walking distance of Swallowfield village which has a medical practice, two pubs and a post office and village shop. Viewings are available immediately and arranged by appointment only.**
