Will & Mike's Comment...

Tucked away in one of Finchampstead's most sought-after locations, Heath Ride, this exceptional family home offers something quite special. Set within a wonderful plot approaching two acres and backing directly onto beautiful woodland, this is a home that combines space, privacy and versatility in a way that's rarely available.

From the moment you arrive, the sweeping driveway and mature trees create an immediate sense of arrival. There's ample parking for numerous vehicles, a garage and a feeling of seclusion that's hard to find. At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan living space designed for modern family life. The beautifully connected kitchen, dining and living areas create a sociable hub where everyone naturally comes together. Full-width bi-fold doors stretch across the rear of the property, flooding the space with natural light and opening seamlessly onto the patio and gardens beyond.

The ground floor offers incredible flexibility, with additional reception rooms including a family room, study and home office, allowing everyone to have their own space when needed. There's also a generous guest bedroom with an en-suite shower room, making it ideal for visiting family, older children or multi-generational living. A spacious utility room provides plenty of practical storage and direct access to the garage. One of the standout features of this home is the self-contained annexe. With its own entrance, open-plan living space, kitchen, shower room and double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, it offers endless possibilities. Upstairs, the principal bedroom feels like a private retreat, complete with a dressing area, fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are well-proportioned and served by a stylish family bathroom, while useful eaves storage provides additional practicality.

Step outside, and the true rarity of this home becomes clear. Set within a magnificent plot approaching two acres, the gardens are undoubtedly one of its most exceptional features. Expansive lawns stretch around the property, framed by mature trees and established planting that create a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Opportunities to acquire a plot of this size in such a sought-after location are incredibly rare, offering endless space for children to explore, keen gardeners to enjoy, or simply for relaxing and appreciating the peaceful surroundings. A large paved terrace provides the perfect spot for entertaining, dining al fresco or soaking up the sunshine, while a detached garden office with power, lighting and its own decking area offers an ideal work-from-home solution immersed in nature.

Beyond the formal gardens, the grounds blend seamlessly into the woodland setting, with direct access to Simons Wood from your own garden. This unique connection to nature creates a lifestyle that's hard to replicate, with beautiful walks quite literally on your doorstep. Whether you're a dog owner, outdoor enthusiast or simply someone who values space and tranquillity, this remarkable plot offers something truly special.

Offering over 3,200 sq. ft. of accommodation, a self-contained annexe, stunning gardens and an enviable woodland setting, this is a home that adapts beautifully to family life both now and for years to come.
