Description
A beautiful 'turn-key' home on the edge of breath-taking National Trust Woodland ~ set near the Crowthorne border of Finchampstead.
This home promises a wonderful lifestyle with 376 acres of ancient woodland to explore, yet has plenty of amenities within a healthy walking distance (including station, schools, sports, local shops and restaurants).
Flint Lodge has been meticulously refurbished in recent years, and offers over 3,000 sq ft of versatile living space. The attention to detail is sublime, and thoughtful design has created a striking home with beautiful proportions, calming levels of natural light, and an easy flow (which lends itself to family life and entertaining alike).
The flow of the reception areas is pulled together with continuous lvt flooring in a tasteful oak, glazed internal doors, and some statement features (kitchen fireplace, wood-burning stove, and large squared bay windows) which give interest to these versatile spaces.
The centrepiece of this home is undoubtedly the open plan living, dining and kitchen which, although striking in its own right, immediately draws the eye to the garden through its handsome natural oak-framed 'orangery' dining area. This room is filled with natural light through its roof lantern and extensive glazing, but offers summer comfort from its sunny position with smart removable awnings. On a summer's day, with the doors open, there's only the sound of birdsong and the lovely water feature - so a perfect retreat from the fast pace of life (and an ideal place for morning coffee before the day starts!)
Although this space has grand proportions, it feels homely and welcoming with its timeless kitchen cabinetry, natural oiled oak frame structure, and lovely back-to-back fireplaces (with wood-burning stove in the formal living room).
Properties are often described as versatile, but Flint Lodge goes above and beyond if you're looking for a long-term home to carry the family through all life-stages. With five/six bedrooms and four bathrooms there's plenty of space for a large family but the layout also lends itself to welcome older relatives, live-in nannies, or anyone with mobility issues.
For remote workers, there's a dedicated study, but one of the downstairs bedrooms has bespoke fitted study furniture to give another option. There's also a hobby room upstairs which adjoins Bedroom Two, so ideal as a third work space, crafts (or teenager's homework). The layout of the Bedroom Two and the hobby room could also be converted to an upstairs sitting room (and potential kitchenette for long-term guests).
Please note, a number of upgrades have been made since the current Energy Performance Rating (2023, showing a D rating) - these include new windows, new doors, and lighting throughout, so its efficiency is likely to be C rated or above. Details on request,
A Few Words from Quarters
"Flint Lodge an exceptional find for so many reasons - mainly because this hidden gem is in an unbeatable setting, but also because it's presented in mint condition throughout. We love the contrast of under-stated décor (neutral floors, timeless kitchen, and classic white bathrooms), with some accent bold features to give this home a modern and fresh twist.
We've also mentioned the peacefulness, but peaceful doesn't mean remote or isolated. A short walk to the west entrance to Heath Ride you'll find the local shops, including post office, pharmacy, restaurants and doctors' surgery, and the highly popular Nine Mile Ride Primary School too. For fine dining, Xenuk Tandoori restaurant and the Chef Peking Chinese restaurant are both excellent choices. The wonderful Bob's Fish & Chip shop also needs a mention (as this is a firm tradition on moving day!)
In the opposite direction there are lovely woodland walks to the top of Dukes Ride, local shops (including coffee shop, bakery, and craft brewery), Crowthorne station, East Berkshire Golf Club, and Wellington College.
The Crowthorne train line has direct trains to Reading (linking to the fast Crossrail service), Farnborough, Guildford and Gatwick Airport. There is also good access to both the M3 and M4 motorways.
But lastly, we come back to the beauty of the woodland on the doorstep - in a world where green space is becoming more precious, this is an ideal choice for dog-walkers and nature-lovers, and anyone wanting to raise independent children with a healthy environment.
Please get in touch with Nick Harris or Teresa Ling at Quarters Estate Agents, Wokingham - we're looking forward to showing buyers around this unique (and move-in ready) home."
