The Property
Nestled in the desirable village of Gallowstree Common, this attractive four-bedroom semi-detached Victorian cottage offers an ideal blend of period charm and modern convenience. Thoughtfully extended and well-presented, the home also provides scope for further enhancement (subject to planning permission).
The accommodation comprises a welcoming recessed porch, cosy living room with a log burner, and a generous 17ft kitchen/breakfast room. A standout feature is the 21ft triple-aspect sitting room with bi-fold doors opening to the rear garden, complemented by an open fireplace. A separate study fitted with bespoke cupboards and bookcases provides an ideal home office.
Upstairs, the dual-aspect principal bedroom benefits from a spacious en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Period details are found throughout, including stripped wooden floors, solid wood doors with cast iron latches, and original fireplaces. Further features include aluminium double glazing, gas central heating, a detached garage, ample off-road parking, and two versatile outbuildings.
Outside
The property is accessed via double wooden five-bar gates leading to a gravel driveway with granite edging. The beautifully maintained gardens offer privacy and tranquillity, bordered by mature hedging and laid mainly to lawn. The garage and outbuildings offer excellent storage or conversion potential.
Location
Gallowstree Common is a charming rural hamlet positioned approximately 6 miles from both Henley-on-Thames and Reading. The area offers superb transport links, with fast trains to London Paddington and easy access to the M4/M40. The Crossrail connection from Reading provides seamless access through central London. Local amenities, including shops, schools, healthcare and more, are available nearby in Sonning Common (under 1.5 miles). The property falls within the catchment for the highly regarded Kidmore End Primary School.
