3 bedroom house

Grove Paddock was originally built as part of the neighbouring Grotto Estate between 1887 and 1910, in 1939 Grove Paddock and the neighbouring cottages were sold and separated from the estate.

Grove Paddock is a delightful cottage situated just off the A329 on a quiet no through road with parking for two cars at the front of the property. When entering the house you enter a spacious reception hall/sitting room that leads into a large dual aspect, open plan kitchen with Aga and freestanding units, a breakfast room/dining room with large picture windows overlooking the garden and views beyond. There are steps down into a reception area with a utility cupboard and cloakroom, and access to the rear door that opens out onto a terrace area. To the right of the front reception hall there is an additional reception room that is currently used as a library/study with steps into a spacious sitting room with a large fireplace that has a beautiful wooden surround and wood burning stove. There are double doors opening out on to the rear terrace.

Upstairs there is a small landing with access to the principal bedroom and a further double bedroom and single bedroom. There is also a family bathroom with separate WC and an airing cupboard.

There is a terrace to the rear of the property from which there are steps down into the large garden. The garden is approximately 0.74 acres with an abundance of mature trees, hedges, flowerbeds and lawns, a small orchard, vegetable garden and pond. There are a number of outbuildings and a wood store, and also vehicular right of way into the garden at the side of the property. At the bottom of the garden there is private access, via a large gate, to an attractive, grassed area that leads to the River Thames with beautiful, quiet river frontage.

Owing to our commitment to keep both our colleagues and clients safe during this period of recommended isolation, we have many self-serve viewing options available to you. These include video walkthroughs, 360 virtual reality viewings and enhanced comprehensive photography.

The property is situated in an elevated position with amazing views across the Chiltern countryside, and also has access to a quiet part of the River Thames opposite an island where otters are thought to be living. It is close to the picturesque villages of Streatley and Goring-on-Thames where you can find numerous shops, restaurants, pubs and railway station. The small village of Lower Basildon is also nearby (0.8 miles) and the wildlife garden at Beale Park. Reading is approximately 9 miles and provides major rail network connections and large shopping centre.
