Built in the early 1990s and since extended, 5 Oak Drive is a spacious four-bedroom family home already offering well-proportioned living space across two floors but with the potential to be further developed given now lapsed planning permission to convert the space above the garage into habitable accommodation.
A number of reception rooms exist downstairs including a formal, front-facing drawing room with a bay window and feature fireplace with a gas fire. A smart conservatory was added by the current owners, further enhancing the family room and is now utilised as a dining area overlooking the garden. The kitchen includes modern units with a granite work top, integrated appliances, space for an American fridge/ freezer, an impressive black AGA range cooker and air conditioning. Off the kitchen is a further extension which has created a study space with door leading out to the garden. Finally, the downstairs guest toilet was always quite generous in size and as such, the current owner has installed a downstairs shower cubicle.
The first-floor offers four, well-sized double bedrooms all of which have fitted wardrobes and two benefit from en suite bathrooms with the other two served by a spacious family bathroom. From the landing there is access to a partially boarded loft with a pull-down ladder allowing for useful storage.
The rear garden faces directly south-east and therefore enjoys a large proportion of the day’s sun and is laid mostly to lawn in addition to paved patio space, allowing for plenty of outdoor seating and furniture. It includes a number of mature specimen trees which creates a feeling of privacy and subtly tucked away in one corner, is a large storage shed. To the front is a grassed area with two large trees and bushes, a block paved driveway allowing parking for a couple of vehicles in addition to a modern double garage with an electric, up and over door.
Situated on the outskirts of the village of Burghfield Common and near Mortimer Common, the area is well-served by a range of local shops and facilities such as a pharmacy, village store, bakery, a Tesco Express and the Willink leisure centre. London bound railway services are provided by either Mortimer or Theale stations and motorway access via junctions 11 & 12 on the M4 for Newbury to the west and Reading and London to the east.
The area offers a good range of local state and secondary schooling together with a number of independent schools including St. Andrews, Elstree, Bradfield College, Crossfields, Pangbourne College, Downe House and Ludgrove.
