Property description
THE DOWNS SCHOOL CATCHMENT AREA.
A very pretty, modern character country house set in Yattendon village centre with its pretty school, pub, church, shop, Post Office and hairdressers.
The interior of the property is luxuriously fitted, beautifully presented, with lots of space and light, simple yet elegant decor. From the moment you enter the large reception hall with its galleried landing and lofty beamed ceiling, you are aware of the quality of Russett House; the flow of accommodation is fabulous. This is a very tranquil, sleepy rural area with a peaceful lane giving access to a long gravelled drive, which eventually leads into the property - so no passing traffic at all to invade privacy.
Special Features: Double doors entering from the reception hall to the drawing room with walk-through access to the large dining room, a wonderful double-sided large log fire framed in oak and enclosed by glazed doors. Hardwood French doors open onto the rear patio and gardens, and a further door gives access to the kitchen/breakfast room which is beautifully appointed, fully fitted with an attractive ceramic flag stone floor, French doors leading onto the garden, granite working surfaces, central island with hob with seating for at least four people, fitted with Siemens double oven and grill, microwave - all in stainless steel, under mounted stainless steel one and a half bowl sink unit with mixer taps, 5-ring gas hob to the central island unit/breakfast bar with stainless steel and glass extractor over, built-in fridge and freezer, and dishwasher. Glazed panelled doors give access to the family/television room with further French doors leading straight out into the conservatory. The first floor has a similar flow of accommodation with a graceful staircase rising to a galleried landing overlooking the large reception hall with exposed timber ceiling. The large master bedroom with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, en suite bathroom with separate shower. * Pretty views to both front and rear, lying adjacent to open farmland mainly owned by the Yattendon Estate.
Local Facilities: There is a first rate primary school which is highly regarded, the famous country house hotel and restaurant, The Royal Oak, a post office/general store, and a hairdressers. There is a thriving community here and there is a tennis club in Yattendon.
Within a short driving distance there is a first class sports complex at Bradfield with indoor tennis courts, squash, fabulous indoor swimming pool, and fitness areas open to public membership. It is also understood that the Bradfield 9-hole golf course still has opportunity for membership. For extra facilities for shopping, Pangbourne village which is only about 10 minutes away has a fabulous selection of specialist shops, restaurants, riverside pubs, and station giving a fast train service connection to London Paddington. There is the Sainsbury`s in Calcot and Waitrose in Thatcham and Newbury, all within reasonable driving distance. There are pretty footpaths and bridle ways, an excellent riding school in Upper Basildon and there are lots of facilities in the area for equestrian livery. Golf can be found at Streatley & Goring, as well as Bradfield. Newbury 9 miles, Pangbourne 4.8 miles, Reading 11 miles, M4 Junction 12 at Theale 5.7 miles (distances approximate).
Schools: Schools abound, apart from the village school, St Andrew`s Preparatory School is just up the road, as is Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, and Downe House to name but a few.
SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION: Large and imposing reception hall, drawing room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, family/television room, conservatory, study, cloakroom.
