5 bed detached house for sale

West End, Waltham St. Lawrence, Reading, Berkshire RG10

Oak Trees is a very good detached family house with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three reception rooms; all have a lovely outlook over the south-facing garden. The house is well presented and laid out, with attractive wooden floors in some ground-floor reception rooms. The kitchen/breakfast room has an oven, hob, and black granite worktops. It opens into a lovely dining room with a library recess. The principal reception room, with a handsome fireplace, has three sets of double doors opening on to the terrace. There is internal access to the utility room, a boot/dog room and integral double garage with a workshop. All rooms are well decorated, and the house is ready for occupation.

The principal bedroom suite has an en suite bathroom and a range of fitted wardrobes. There are four further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and all with fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Oaktrees is approached over a gravel drive with generous parking to the front and side of the house and with space for a potential extension. To the rear and South of the house is a paved terrace opening on to lawns with mature hedging on the boundaries providing privacy. The gardens are a lovely feature of the property. A horse chestnut and a cherry tree separate the lawn from the area which is being left to rewild for the local flora and fauna. This has the potential to be a paddock or possibly a tennis court.

Oaktrees occupies a superb setting within a mile of the centre of Waltham St Laurence village but in a quiet lane. The property is situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Waltham St. Lawrence. The village has many beautiful houses, a parish church, a village hall, a 15th-century public house, and an outstanding-rated primary school. Nearby, Twyford has a selection of everyday amenities, including several shops and supermarkets. Henley-on-Thames and Marlow also offer a good selection of local shopping facilities, restaurants and cafes. More extensive shopping facilities can be found in Maidenhead, Windsor, Camberley and Bracknell.

The area is well connected by road and rail. Twyford's mainline station (part of the Crossrail/Elizabeth Line) provides services to London Paddington and central London, taking approximately 30 minutes. The M40 and M4 provide good road links to the western country and central London, and via the M25, they connect to Heathrow and Gatwick international airports.

The area offers an excellent range of schools, including Waltham St and Lawrence Primary School in the village (rated Outstanding by Ofsted). Notable independent schools include Dolphin, Shiplake College, Reading Blue Coat, Papplewick, Lambrook and Ludgrove.
