Situation
Crays Pond is a small rural hamlet community situated on high ground on the southern edge of the Chilterns in an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ to the north of Reading just above the scenic Thames Valley. Centred around an historic Pond, the village is ideally placed with excellent road communications for Reading, Wallingford, Henley and the M4 and M40 motorway networks.
The riverside villages of Pangbourne and Goring are both easily accessible, each offering established shopping centres and a range of facilities, including modern health centres, and, importantly, mainline commuter stations with regular fast services up to London (Paddington) in well under the hour. There are also a number of restaurants, hotels and olde worlde inns in the immediate local area.
The nearby village of Woodcote offers everyday shopping facilities including a Co-Op supermarket open seven days a week, convenience stores, modern health centre and highly rated primary and secondary schools.
In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state primary and secondary schooling, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular note; Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.
The major centres of Reading, Oxford, Newbury and Henley on Thames are all within easy driving distance as are the M4 and M40 Motorways.
Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.
Property description
Having been totally transformed from its original build, Conway Cottage is an extended, fully renovated 4 bedroom semi detached cottage. Much care and attention has been given, with new windows and doors, underfloor heating to the whole of downstairs with individual room thermostats and inset ceiling lights throughout. With rendered elevations under a tiled roof, the property is accessed via an open porch into the hallway. There is hard flooring to the whole of downstairs and the doors are all oak panelled. The study sits at the front of the house and then opposite glazed oak doors take you through to the sitting room with wood burner. Further along the hallway is the cloakroom and next door to this is the utility room with back door. The kitchen is fully fitted with two-toned units and island with inset induction hob. A lantern roof light offers an abundance of light into the kitchen which is replicated into the family room with another lantern roof light which along with 2 sets of bi-fold doors make for a fantastic bright space overlooking the garden. There is a separate dining room off the kitchen with french doors for outside access. Upstairs, the main bedroom has an ensuite shower room and there are 3 further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The views from upstairs are simply stunning, looking across the fields and beyond.
Outside
Set well back from the road, the property is approached through a pretty low picket fence onto a large gravelled driveway with ample parking. There is a detached oak car port with electric feed. The boundary is hedged to the right and fenced to the left, with tree screening at the garden end. The rear garden is approached via a path and there is a terrace coming off the family room offering a wonderful opportunity for “al-fresco” dining. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with some low planting and has total privacy.
General services
Services: Mains water, electricity, and gas are connected to the property. Central heating and hot water from gas fired boiler located in the utility room.
