4 bedroom detached house for sale

An exquisite detached Edwardian home with elegant and generous accommodation, set within beautiful grounds in a highly coveted position. Offering a rural feel with superb access to Oxford, Reading, and London.


Thames Lodge is an elegant Edwardian property which has been lovingly restored by its current owners with great care and attention given to period detail and overall finish. The house has a pretty double frontage featuring bay windows on either side of a charming porch, and is set behind a large, private drive. Immediately upon entering, it is clear the house has been carefully maintained, with classic, neutral decor and tiled floors providing access to the ground floor accommodation. The sitting room is beautifully proportioned and features a wealth of details, including a limestone open fireplace, corniced ceilings, fitted storage, and restored sash windows. The dining room also has an open fireplace and bay window with sashes, offering a wonderful space for intimate family meals and larger social gatherings. A neatly presented cloakroom is accessed off the hallway, and at the rear of the property is the hub of this home: a superb kitchen/breakfast room opening to a gorgeous private terrace. With a range of classic Shaker-style units, integrated appliances including a double oven and a five-ring gas hob, fridge, dishwasher, freezer and a peninsula unit with granite worktops, the kitchen flows into a breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling and French doors opening to the south facing terrace. There is a separate utility room with further storage and worktop space, along with plumbing for utilities.

On the first floor, a light and spacious galleried landing gives access to the bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a great size, with a range of fitted wardrobes and a smartly finished, contemporary ensuite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms, and the fourth bedroom has been opened into the adjacent room to create a fabulous suite with views over the garden. (This could easily be reversed) There is also a large family bathroom with a modern white suite and a separate shower room accessed from the landing.

Outside, the gardens complement the house perfectly, with a private terrace framed by mature trees and shrubs, providing the perfect space for al fresco dining. The garden features a large lawn interspersed with cherry trees and enclosed by mature hedges. Additionally, a detached double garage sits alongside the property.
