Owners comments...
We moved into the house in 2006 and have loved living here. Over the years we have transformed the whole house, installing a high quality parapan kitchen, fitting sash windows and shutters throughout, more recently installing a luxurious shower room with double sinks and underfloor heating. It’s a game changer having separate sinks! And we’ve done so much more to it!.
The downstairs space is so versatile. In the summer months we love opening up the bifold doors and use the kitchen/dining space combined with the patio for entertaining family and friends. In the winter months, the log burner in the front lounge creates a cosy space to relax in. The garden room has been used as an office, a Pilates Studio and an extra space for entertaining.
The location is great for walking our dog, having Langley Mead right on our doorstep, it’s a friendly neighbourhood and it’s handy having the Co-op a 5 minute walk away. The Shinfield Arms is within walking distance and there’s easy access to the M4, Reading and Wokingham.
A great location all round. We will miss living here, but we’re ready for the next chapter and our next project.

There really is more than meets the eye with this home and we're super excited to show you around this one. Originally built in the early 1900s and retains much of that charm in the beautiful big entrance hall with high ceilings, the bay-fronted lounge with a wood burner as well as the charming frontage with driveway parking for three cars. Beyond the entrance hall, you've got a huge 26" kitchen/dining room that opens into the garden via Bi-fold doors. Off the kitchen you'll find a snug, leading into an office, WC, and a utility room with a shower - perfect for hosing off the dogs after a muddy walk around Langley Mead! The garden has been tastefully landscaped with a large patio area perfect for BBQs ,a fire pit and plenty of lawn to enjoy the sunny south-facing aspect. There's also a huge shed that's perfect in lieu of a garage, and a garden room ideal as a home office, gym, art studio... whatever suits your needs.
Upstairs are three great sized bedrooms, all with high-end fitted storage and modern sash windows with shutters. The family bathroom is exquisite with two sinks, vanity units, walk-in shower, and some gorgeous styling choices.
This could be part of a closed onward chain, so get in touch ASAP if you're interested to have a look.
Area comments...
Shinfield itself is a trendy location, very central to everything with plenty of local green space. Just a few minutes walk you will find the popular Langley Mead nature reserve, which is great for walks and has various play parks and further green space close by. Within a short walk or drive you have plenty of amenities including Dobbies Garden Centre which now has a small Waitrose, along with a great butcher's in there. Then within Shinfield Village, you have Co-Op, post office, and a few popular pubs including The Shinfield Arms, which we also enjoy from time to time! You have the new addition of Alder Grove Primary School within Shinfield Meadows, along with plenty of other schools in the area, again making this a great location for growing families. There are main bus routes close by taking you into Reading or Wokingham towns and you are just a few minutes from Mereoak Park and Ride or junction 11 of the M4, or Green Park business district which now has the new addition of the train station, giving you great connections into Reading and onto London from here.
