6 bedroom detached house for sale

Prospect Homes of Distinction is pleased to market this incredibly unique detached property on one of the most sought after roads in Crowthorne. Located on Ravenswood Avenue, this family home, parts of which are believed to date back to the late 1890s, has retained many of its original character features and offers something for every member of the family.

As you enter the living room on the left of the entrance hall, you are struck by the vastness of the space. High ceilings add to the grandeur of the room, which is drenched in natural light from the beautiful bay window at the front of the house. The living room also has an Art Deco fireplace and a spiral staircase to the first floor, concealed by a regal curtain.

To the right of the main entrance hall is a spacious dining room with large windows, again allowing in plenty of natural light, and an additional feature fireplace, which gives a certain stateliness to family meals and entertaining. This formal dining area leads through to a generous kitchen and breakfast room which invites the family to gather in its homely atmosphere, especially with the wood burner ideally placed by the breakfast table. Perfect to brighten up miserable weekday mornings!

Also on the ground floor is a huge utility room that has retained some of the home’s original features with meat hooks and a ceiling drying rack. There's a cosy ‘snug’ room that could be used as an office or playroom for a growing family, a sizeable pantry that keeps cool all year long and a large cloakroom.

Reached by two different staircases, the first floor accommodates four sizeable bedrooms, two family bathrooms, one with an Aqualisa shower, an office space which has views over the rear garden and its beautiful mature trees, and a bright and airy master suite complete with dressing area/walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room with his and hers sinks. Bedroom two is divided into two sections, offering the perfect study area, play area, office or even walk-in wardrobe separate from the sleeping area – a great feature for any child or young adult in the household.

On the top floor is a spacious bedroom, configured to offer an excellent desk space by the window with a spectacular view of the treetops. There is also a large, bright living area on this floor, which would make a wonderful games room, and an additional room that is currently a study area, but as it is positioned is above the shower pump located in the eaves, the space could easily be converted into a bathroom to make the top floor a guest suite or space for older children. The beauty of this property is the space and flexibility that it offers to meet its owner’s particular requirements.

The property also benefits from an expansive rear garden with a well-kept lawn and patio - ideal for alfresco dining in the summer months. In fact, the garden is so large that the current owners have installed what they call a ‘catio’ – a big pen for their cats to play in which does not impede on the size of the garden at all! The mature shrubs and trees at the borders give a high degree of privacy and seclusion, and the garden receives sunlight all year round.

Additional features to this incredibly unique property are a detached double garage with internal bespoke workspace, and an attached wood store (for toasty mornings in front of the kitchen’s wood burner!), plumbing for a water softener, and a large driveway for multiple vehicles.

Located near the high-esteemed Edgbarrow School as well as leisure facilities like East Berkshire Golf Course, Wellington Heath and Fitness Centre, and the Lookout Discovery Centre, with easy access on foot to Crowthorne railway station, this beautiful home is perfectly positioned to raise a family and make lasting memories in.
