4 bed detached house for sale

Pangbourne Road, Upper Basildon, Reading RG8

Welcome To Knappswood Lodge, Upper Basildon, Berkshire.

Knappswood Lodge isn't your average family home. For more than 20 years it's been the backdrop to birthdays, celebrations and countless family gatherings, and it's easy to understand why. With a heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, palm trees and even a bespoke cocktail bar at the heart of the house, there's a touch of Club Tropicana about this place, all tucked away in a peaceful Berkshire setting.

Set behind private gates on a plot of around 0.3 acres, the house offers far more than first meets the eye. There's plenty of gravelled parking, front and rear gardens to enjoy, and a detached former double garage that has been converted into a highly versatile space, ideal as an annexe, studio, gym, home office or somewhere to run a business.

Inside, the kitchen and dining room is every bit the social hub you'd expect, complete with a large island, separate utility room and adjoining store room. At the rear, an additional reception room provides plenty of extra living space, while the main lounge centres around a feature fireplace and even hides a cosy library area.

Connecting it all is the feature that really sets this home apart. Right in the middle of the house sits a custom-built bar, creating a unique entertaining space before friends and family spill out onto the patio, the pool and the garden beyond.

Upstairs are four genuine double bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite with en-suite bathroom, alongside a generous family bathroom. There's also a useful loft room that has served as everything from an occasional bedroom to a games room, hobby room and children's den over the years.

Upper Basildon enjoys a lovely semi-rural setting surrounded by beautiful countryside, while remaining within easy reach of Pangbourne and Reading. Excellent road and rail connections also make it well placed for commuting, with a number of highly regarded schools nearby.

If you enjoy entertaining, bringing people together or simply want a home that offers something a little different, Knappswood Lodge is one that's likely to stay in your memory long after you've left.
