An individual detached waterside home with impressive accommodation, situated in an idyllic and enviable position along the River Kennet.
Situated at the end of a quiet lane, Chapelle is neatly tucked away and positioned in the most enviable of locations, backing onto the picturesque River Kennet.
A sweeping gravel driveway leads to a large private drive providing plenty of off road parking in front of the house and converted garage/studio.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, the hallway flows through the centre of the property with a central staircase. A spacious and stylish kitchen with breakfast bar is positioned at the front of the house overlooking the driveway and front garden, benefiting from a walk-in pantry and a separate utility room, connected by a modern dining room which has a lantern roof and full width bi-fold doors to the garden. The sitting room is positioned at the back of the house overlooking the beautiful garden and the Kennet River, as does the drawing room which has an inglenook fireplace and bi-fold doors leading to the terrace, garden and river.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a walk-in dressing room, large en suite and bi-fold double doors opening onto the balcony with views across the garden and canal. The guest bedroom has a shower en suite, there are two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside, the garage has been converted into a studio/annexe over two floors, upstairs there are 2 rooms, one open space that could be used as a bedroom/study, and another which has a wc and basin with room for a shower if desired. Downstairs is a large open area, currently used as a games room with a built in bar. There is CAT5
cabling built into the walls upstairs and down. There is planning permission currently in place to extend this outbuilding, adding a double garage and separate room to the ground floor, and another bedroom and en suite to the first floor.
The garden faces south west, is mostly laid to lawn with a variety of well established trees and planting creating a wonderful tranquil space overlooking the river, and there are fishing rights in place. There is a second garden to the other side of the house providing privacy and security.
Woolhampton, West Berkshire
Chapelle is situated in the heart of Woolhampton, an attractive village well known for its former coaching inns. The Kennet River runs alongside the property with a scenic tow path and reed beds which form a Site of Special Interest. To the north of the village are fields and woods leading to the Berkshire Downs, and to the south are many scenic walks along the river/canal and lakes, perfect for walking a dog. Woolhampton has a few shops, village school, two village pubs - including the popular and renowned Rowbarge - and a village hall.
Midgham station is within walking distance and offers train lines into Newbury and the West and into Reading. London Paddington can be reached via Reading station in 25 minutes, allowing passengers to travel through to central London in less than an hour from the property.
There are a wide range of schools in the area, including Woolhampton Primary school, Harriet House Montessori, Elstree, St Andrew’s, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Cheam, Bradfield College, Downe House and Pangbourne College.
