Casa, Bere Court Road, Pangbourne, Berkshire

Originally built in the 1930s as the gardener’s cottage for an adjacent estate, Jesmond Cottage has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded over time to become a generous, well proportioned family residence.

The layout centres around a welcoming reception hall with an open fireplace, from which all principal ground-floor rooms radiate. The kitchen/dining room stands as the heart of the home - a bright, substantial space featuring exposed beams and bespoke cabinetry, designed for everyday living and relaxed entertaining, with the utility room and boot room providing essential practical support. The sitting room is a bright and comfortable space for entertaining, and flows seamlessly to the generous drawing room, both with patio door access to the garden. There is also an adjoining study, providing a series of well connected reception spaces.

On the first floor, the spacious principal bedroom offers exceptional rural views, with a private balcony and charming corner window seating area, creating a wonderful spot to enjoy the countryside outlook. The room also benefits from ample built-in storage and a well appointed en suite. A second guest bedroom is also complimented by an adjoining en suite bathroom. There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, served by a family bathroom, offering excellent flexibility for family members, guests or home working. All bathrooms have been recently modernised/refitted. Above the barn-style garaging, comprising of a double garage, car port and garden store, lies a versatile studio space with a shower room - ideal as an annexe, home office, playroom, or guest accommodation, adding considerable scope for multi generational living or separate use.
