noir by david cliff - PEACE & PRIVACEY AMONGST THE PINES

Nestled within the prestigious and highly sought-after enclave of Heath Ride in Finchampstead, Audere Pines stands as a testament to grand-scale luxury. The estate’s presence has been significantly enhanced by the strategic purchase of an additional plot, resulting in a sprawling 2.2 acre grounds that offer a rare level of privacy and tranquility. This expansive outdoor space provides a majestic backdrop to a home that is equally impressive internally, boasting high-specification finishes and vast living areas designed for both sophisticated entertaining and comfortable family life.

The sense of exclusivity is established immediately upon arrival, as the home is situated securely behind private gates. A large, rising driveway sweeps toward the residence, offering a grand approach and providing ample space to host multiple cars for guests or family members. This impressive entrance leads to a substantial triple garage, ensuring that the property is as practical as it is prestigious.

The ground floor is characterized by an exceptional sense of space, with rooms that flow effortlessly into one another. The heart of the home is an enormous kitchen and dining area, which serves as a spectacular central hub for daily life. Adjoining this is a formal dining room, perfect for hosting elegant evening meals, and a truly substantial primary reception room that offers a grand yet inviting space for relaxation. Connecting these primary living areas is a remarkably long, glass-walled conservatory that acts as a light-filled gallery, offering panoramic views of the estate and creating a seamless connection between the indoors and the lush gardens.

Further enhancing the ground floor's versatility is a dedicated wing containing three well-proportioned bedrooms. One of these serves as a luxurious guest suite, complete with its own private dressing room and a modern bathroom. The layout is rounded out by practical features such as a utility room and a welcoming entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the residence. This thoughtful configuration ensures that the ground floor is not only a place of grand proportions but also one of functional, high-spec living.

The theme continues upstairs, where the principal suite occupies a vast area, featuring a private balcony that overlooks the expansive grounds. Across the landing, another large bedroom suite provides ample space and elevated comfort for family or guests. A separate shower room services this area with a further vast eaves storage area giving even more potential. Beyond the main house, the property’s extensive offerings are completed by a separate, self-contained annexe located above the garaging. This additional living space, featuring its own kitchen and lounge area and bathroom offers the perfect solution for multi-generational living or a high-end home office.

The location of Audere Pines is as exceptional as the home itself, offering access to some of the region's finest amenities. The area is renowned for its exceptional schools, including highly-regarded state options like Finchampstead CoE and Nine Mile Ride Primary, as well as the award-winning Waverley Preparatory School, which is consistently ranked among the best in the UK. For leisure and recreation, residents are minutes away from the vast woodland trails of California Country Park, the championship fairways of Downshire Golf Complex, and the state-of-the-art facilities at Wokingham and Bracknell Leisure Centres. Furthermore, transport links are excellent; Crowthorne station is just a 13 minute walk away, providing easy rail access, while the nearby M3 and M4 motorways ensure that London and the wider south-east remain effortlessly within reach.

All of this and we back directly onto the much desired Simons Wood National Trust Land which deserves its own mention, a truly outstanding added extra.
