Knight Frank is delighted to offer this excellent detached three bedroom bungalow that has been sympathetically extended and modernised to a high standard. The property was constructed in the 1920s and has a beautiful, mature garden with a fantastic home office and benefits from being situated in a quiet setting on a private no through road.

Leeside is entered via a hallway with doors radiating to the dining room, bedrooms and bathroom. The sitting room is accessed through the dining room, has a gas fire and a wonderful vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and uplighting. This room leads into the conservatory that spans the rear of the property, overlooks the garden, and has underfloor heating. The kitchen is accessed from the conservatory; the kitchen is fitted with cherry wood units and has a built-in dishwasher, washer-dryer, ceramic hob, twin oven/grill, fridge, freezer and a cupboard housing the gas boiler. The dining room is also accessed from the kitchen, with a gas fire and window to the side of the property.
The principal bedroom has an en suite shower. A well-fitted family bathroom with a bath, separate shower and an excellent built-in sauna serves the further two bedrooms. Loft access is from the hallway; this area has been converted into a fantastic hobby room with Velux windows and significant eaves storage. The property has solar panels, providing a feed-in tariff of approximately £500 p.a. There is a substantial outbuilding with a two-room office with electric radiator heating and an adjacent storage room. There are two telephone lines to the property with broadband.

The front of the property has a gravelled parking area for four cars and an attractive trellis arbour with established climbing plants and paving leading to the front door. The conservatory looks on to a very private, well established rear garden, and opens onto a sunken brick patio next to a raised lawn with shaded arbour seat. A serpentine gravel path leads to a separate sandstone flagged seating area surrounded by acers and evergreens, adjacent to a wooden summer house/shed. Further steps lead to a dining area of wooden decking.
Shiplake Cross is equidistant to Shiplake, a Thames-side village with a village shop/post office, butcher, garage and an award-winning public house and restaurant, and Binfield Heath with a village shop/post office and pub. Orwell's gourmet restaurant is within walking distance of the property. Shiplake railway station gives mainline access (via Twyford) to Reading with a fast service to London, Paddington (from 25 minutes). Henley-on-Thames, Marlow and Reading are all within easy reach and offer comprehensive shopping, leisure, and recreational facilities. Henley is famous for the Henley Royal Regatta, the Henley Festival of Music & Arts and the Henley Literary Festival. The property gives immediate access to numerous walks beside the river and in the nearby Chiltern Hills. The area is well served by schools, including Reading Blue Coat, Shiplake College, The Abbey School for Girls, and Queen Anne's in Caversham. It is also in the catchment area of Shiplake Primary School.
