DESCRIPTION: Set on the exclusive Green Lane, on high ground, minutes walking distance of the village centre, station, shops and schools, a superb modern architect individually designed, split level country house of character offering very spacious family accommodation, well set back from the lane. Tastefully presented, Green Meadow House will be especially attractive for a purchaser requiring a unique property that has both quality and distinction. The two sides of the property separate casual family living from the sophistication and elegance of the main reception rooms. The electric gates, designed and built for Green Meadow House, open onto a spacious Cotswold stone-chipping forecourt which surrounds an imposing 3-tier fountain, floodlit at night, bringing the soothing element of falling water audible within the house and in most areas of the garden. Above the garage block a clock tower and a cupola with dolphin weather vane fits comfortably on the ridge of the roof, illuminated at night. All the five bathrooms and shower rooms are en suite to the bedrooms and have been individually designed and created in ceramics, granite, glass and marble brought in from all over the world, all bathrooms have natural light, all the fittings are of top quality with a powerful, high capacity, direct main water heating and hot water system making sure that baths and showers pound out water.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
The large reception hall is entered by way of a pair of substantial and important antique oak panelled doors, solid golden oak suspended flooring will be found in the dining room and drawing room with a pretty feature open partition created in oak between the dining room and drawing room allowing views of rolling countryside and the wooded hillsides of Sulham. There is a fine open fireplace with antique marble mantle and surround within the drawing room. A magnificent conservatory has been individually designed and created especially for Green Meadow House with the granite flagstone floor of the kitchen giving way to the green slate flagstone floor of the conservatory and with doors opening on two sides to the rear garden. The conservatory, at the highest point, rises to some 12’, set on the north side of the property it is warm in winter with high insulation and in summer the conservatory avoids the harshest of a day’s effects of the summer sun. The luxury kitchen was custom designed and built for the property with the natural elegance of square cut golden oak panelled doors, seaweed green granite and stainless steel harmonising in the best of traditional and modern influence with top quality cupboard fittings, pot drawers and swing out larder unit. The kitchen is open planned to the conservatory so the main family dining or breakfast area has been created within the conservatory. Each room has been individually lit featuring a different design in lighting fittings in chrome or stainless steel, with polished chrome power points and lighting points with dimmer switches, Italian stainless steel door furniture and the opulence of American golden oak panelled doors throughout. Satellite TV is connected to all reception rooms and bedrooms, other than the dining room. All the main internal corridors have natural light.
GARDENS & GROUNDS: Perhaps the most important single feature is the beauty of the plot enjoying total seclusion and privacy both front and rear. All the hedges to the boundary are owned by the property and are planted with a myriad of flowering and ornamental shrubs and trees, including lilac, yew, laurel, cherry, beech, horse chestnut and oak and a number of very beautiful specimen trees. The gardens have been landscaped to both front and rear but with an emphasis on ease of maintenance with large York stone terraces for summer entertaining and barbeques immediately adjacent to the conservatory. Sweeping lawns reach down to the rear of the property divided by a brick laid path, a circular fountain and arbour area arriving eventually at a stone Norman arch, which gives access to a natural wooded copse and bank of trees lying the width of the rear boundary, full of seasonal wild flowers, including bluebells, daffodils, violets and primroses in Spring. All manner of wild birds find sanctuary in the tall pines and nest in the yew hedging, and yet all this only six miles from Reading.
