11 DAUNTLESS ROAD

Situated in a secluded cul-de-sac location is this beautifully presented ‘Charles Church’ five bedroom, three bathroom family home.

Boasting around 1900 sq ft of accommodation, the property has been skilfully extended to create a flexible, family living space.

STEP INSIDE Ground Floor This property is a fantastic family home and provides lots of options as to how you could utilise the space to suit your family needs. The 21ft lounge is bright and airy with direct access to the garden, there’s also a study and a dining room that could easily be used as additional ground floor bedroom, music room or playroom. The spacious kitchen diner really is the heart of the home and has been recently refitted.

It’s a very social space where the family can come together. Lastly, we have a separate utility room and a handy cloakroom, just off the hall.

First Floor On the first floor there are 5 good sized bedrooms, the principal having a contemporary en-suite and dressing area, a 2nd en-suite guest bedroom, 3 further bedrooms and the family bathroom.

SELLER INSIGHT We moved to Burghfield Common in the late 1980s. It was ideally located between our places of work and provided a great balance of semi-rural living and easy access to nearby towns and cities, along with excellent road and rail links. The property occupies a quiet, end of cul-de-sac position with no through traffic and is perfect for families and pets. Seclusion is offered by a conifer hedge and all the neighbouring houses have been thoughtfully orientated to maximise privacy,” say the owners.

“We were particularly attracted by the flint fronted design of the property, its plot size, the well-designed garden, and the clever layout and flexibility of the ground floor accommodation. It has been a superb home for us and during our time here we have redesigned the family room, refitted the kitchen and utility room, and modernised the en suite shower rooms.”

“The wrap around rear garden has matured over the years and the large patio, sunken wooden deck, and shingle platform provide a choice of places to sit and enjoy the shade or sun at different times of the day. The large lawned area is ideal for energetic children, and the wildflower bank and mature native trees attract birds and other wildlife to the garden.”

“Burghfield Common has everything you could possibly need from the point of view of provisions and health care. It benefits from a thriving village hall, local sports centre, and good access to a choice of highly regarded schools both locally and a little further afield.

The surrounding countryside is crossed by a network of footpaths and bridleways which is perfect for keen walkers and runners. Burghfield Sailing Club, the picturesque Kennet and Avon canal, and the nearby Thames also add to the recreational attractions.”

“We have lived in the property for over 30 years and would be very content to stay longer had it not been for a desire to relocate closer to our first grandchild. We are looking forward to being nearer to our family, although our move will be tinged with sadness; our home has served us well and Burghfield Common has provided us with all that we needed for a wonderful, active family life.”*
