Charming period house in a peaceful setting within Silchester Common.
Cherry Tree Cottage originates from the mid-19th century and in its time has been the village dairy and nursery school. Over the past 5 years it has undergone a substantial programme of improvements to create what is a wonderful family home in a very special setting. The accommodation provides an imaginative blend of open plan living combined with the charm and character of a period home with just over 2,700 sq ft of accommodation within the main house and a very useful room above the double garage, ideal as a home office. There are too many features to mention but those of note include fireplaces, fitted kitchen with Aga, an amazing basement and an incredible feeling of light and space throughout the property, which is typified by the open plan drawing room and spacious landing on the first floor.Cherry Tree Cottage is approached over a single-track lane with prescriptive right of access over the common and therefore enjoys an incredibly safe and quiet location. The garden surrounds the property and has been redesigned to minimise garden maintenance. There is also a greenhouse and summerhouse/shed. There is a large driveway with ample parking and turning and double garage with room above. Owing to our commitment to keep both our colleagues and clients safe during this period of recommended isolation, we also have many self-serve viewing options available to you. These include video walkthroughs, 360 virtual reality viewings and enhanced comprehensive photography.
