A beautifully remodelled four-bedroom period cottage occupying an idyllic semi-rural position, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

Apple Tree Cottages is a charming period home that has been thoughtfully renovated and extended to create beautifully appointed accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family living. Occupying an enviable position within the Green Belt, the property enjoys breathtaking views across Berkshire and neighbouring counties, with Forestry Commission-owned woodland to the front and land belonging to Berkshire College of Agriculture to the rear, providing an attractive and distinctly rural setting.

Comprehensively remodelled in 2014, the property has been finished with meticulous attention to detail, successfully combining the character and charm of the original cottage with contemporary design, generous natural light and a high standard of finish throughout.

Accommodation

The ground-floor accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to create a wonderful balance of open-plan living and more intimate spaces. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen and dining area, centred around a substantial oak island with informal seating, providing an ideal space for everyday family life and entertaining.

Large glazed bi-folding doors and rooflights flood the principal living spaces with natural light, while perfectly framing the spectacular countryside views. Steps lead down to a delightful garden room, where further bi-folding doors open directly onto the terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and gardens.

A separate sitting room offers a cosy retreat, featuring attractive oak flooring and provision for a wood-burning stove. The ground floor also benefits from a versatile fourth bedroom, ideal for young children or extended family, together with a separate study, perfectly suited to those working from home. A guest cloakroom and useful utility cupboard complete the ground-floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys magnificent far-reaching views and benefits from built-in wardrobes and a stylish en suite wet room with a separate WC. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, featuring a freestanding bath with shower over.

Outside

The property is approached from Honey Lane through electrically operated timber gates with an entry phone system, opening onto a generous gravel driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles.

The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to complement the property’s idyllic surroundings, with attractive raised beds providing colour and interest throughout the seasons. A substantial terrace adjoins the rear of the house, offering a wonderful setting for al fresco dining, summer entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful countryside outlook.

Beyond the terrace, the principal garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with the elevated position allowing the exceptional views to take centre stage.
