5 bedroom detached house for sale

*NO ONWARD CHAIN*

Situated in a leafy enclave, this five bedroom detached property has served the current family since the property was first built, demonstrating perfectly how well-designed this home is for a growing family.

The downstairs accommodation is the perfect place for family and friends to gather for any occasion. To the left as you walk in, the living room spans the full depth of the property with an Inglenook fireplace at its heart. Ample natural lighting spills into this space, thanks to the dual aspect windows, and views of greenery can be appreciated from either, enhancing the welcoming feel of this space. A set of double doors from the hall will lead you onto the formal dining room, however this room has proven versatile over the years as both a playroom, music room and snug and again, benefits from plenty of natural light. On the estate, a couple of this design have incorporated this room into the kitchen so those who wish to do this can rest assured this is an easy task. The current kitchen is generous in size, with a six-seater dining table being already in situ here. There is plenty of cupboard space and several integrated appliances such as fridge/freezer, oven and dishwasher. There are double sliding patio doors to take you into the rear garden with ease. The kitchen flows into the all-important utility room. A practical study sits at the rear of this home adjacent to the downstairs cloakroom and a powered integral double garage, in which the current owners comfortably park two full-sized cars. Gigabit Ethernet cabling to 5 rooms allows simultaneous streaming, gaming and video conferencing for families with a modern lifestyle.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are well-proportioned and branch off a large landing, offering a fair degree of separation. The smallest two bedrooms are standard single bedrooms and can be easily utilised as a secondary office space, for those who require it. Bedroom three overlooks the rear garden and benefits from built-in wardrobes, providing a good amount of storage. Bedroom two is perfect for any overnight guests due to both the integrated wardrobe and the neutral three piece en-suite with shower. However, it is the master suite that is the real wow factor of this home, overlooking the sweeping driveway and well-manicured lawn, this bedroom spans over the entirety of the double garage. The large floor area extends further into a dressing area with integrated wardrobes and leads to the en-suite bathroom. The current owners have installed an impressive modern four-piece fully tiled en-suite with jet-powered shower tower and a large bath. The family bathroom with linen cupboard and a modern bathtub rounds up the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the brick block driveway can host up to five vehicles and is located about 40ft away from the main stretch of Payley Drive. To the rear, the allocated garden is wide and captures the sun for most of the day. The garden is mostly laid to lawn but the owners have incorporated a couple of patio areas to be enjoyed. During the summer months, the garden benefits from a good degree of privacy and tranquillity.

Payley Drive is conveniently located for several reasons including its proximity to some of the well-regarded schools in the local area, such as St Crispins and Keephatch Primary. Keephatch Nature Reserve is just around the corner, for those who enjoy their green spaces and the town centre, with train station servicing both Reading and London is only 30 minutes’ walk. Commuting by car is also easy as the A329M can be accessed in a matter of minutes. Last but not least, there are a number of pubs and eateries close by with The Three Frogs and The Foundry Bell being a locals favourite pick.
