The property sits in a generous plot of 1.1 acres and located in this popular rural location just outside the village of Mortimer and Burghfield Common.

Description:
Five Oaken is a pretty, detached house, now in need of modernisation, offering an exciting opportunity to create a home tailored to individual tastes. An entrance porch leads into the dining room, which features a fireplace, while the substantial dual-aspect sitting room has a wood-burning stove and French doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall and base units, with a door leading to an inner hall, a utility room and access to the garage and workshop. Two bedrooms and a shower room occupy the first floor, complemented by a family bathroom on the ground floor.

Outside:
The property is approached through double wooden gates opening onto a generous parking area with a triple carport. A further carport lies behind the house, along with a large open barn. Extending to just over 1.1 acres, the grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by a combination of fencing and mature hedging. A large outbuilding, timber shed and greenhouse provide additional space for a variety of uses.
