An attractive 5 bedroom detached modern country house situated on Cedar Drive, which has long been noted as one of the most sought after and exclusive no-through roads in Pangbourne, within easy walking distance of the village centre and station.

Winterbourne House was built to very high standards by the present owner some 30 years ago, and is offered to the market for the first time. This is a first-class family house with large windows giving lots of light, and a wonderful flow of accommodation.

The property enjoys a peaceful, secluded, and secure location in spacious gardens, and has been well-maintained. The décor is simple and elegant and the bathrooms have all been updated of recent times, with good quality fittings.

Cedar Drive is a short walk to riverside pubs and restaurants, the River Thames, a highly regarded primary school, church, specialist shops, amenities and the train station with fast commuter links to London Paddington.

Special features:
• The accommodation is very flexible with 2 bedrooms on the ground floor, one with a bathroom and shower, one with an ensuite shower room
• Sitting room overlooking the rear gardens has an open fireplace and has sliding doors opening onto the terrace and rear gardens
• Kitchen is fully fitted with an extensive range of cupboards, Siemens electric oven, fitted fridge, fitted Panasonic microwave, a seating area to hold a breakfast table and sliding doors opening onto the terrace and rear gardens. It would be simple to extend the kitchen/breakfast room into one of the adjoining rooms
• All 5 bedrooms are doubles. One is extremely large and presently used as a study/sitting room but could make a fabulous principal bedroom
• The principal bedroom lies over the downstairs cloakroom, so introducing an ensuite would not be difficult
• Pretty views from all the windows
• Large utility/laundry room, well fitted and includes a Bosch and Beko washing machine and tumble dryer with cupboards, sink, free standing Zanussi freezer and Hotpoint fridge, and door to garage
• Large double garage with windows overlooking the garden and electric double doors
