Positioned within this quintessential Thames-side village, the property enjoys a peaceful setting on a very quiet no-through lane, while remaining superbly connected, with Reading mainline station and excellent road links all within easy reach. The property is offered with no onward chain and is just a short, approximately three-minute walk from Sonning Golf Club.
The house has been thoughtfully evolved over time to create a highly adaptable layout, perfectly suited to modern living. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to a series of elegant yet practical living spaces, ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life.
At the heart of the home lies a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space — a beautifully designed environment that brings together scale, light and flow. With bespoke finishes and a strong connection to the gardens, this space forms the true hub of the house, equally suited to everyday living or hosting on a larger scale.
The accommodation is both extensive and versatile, with up to six bedrooms arranged to suit a variety of needs. The principal suite provides a calm and private retreat, while additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or home working. Guest suites and secondary accommodation further enhance the home’s appeal for multi-generational living.
A particularly valuable feature of Chestnut House is the substantial side wing, which currently integrates seamlessly with the main house but offers excellent potential. This space could be easily configured to create a self-contained annexe, providing private accommodation for extended family or an au pair. Alternatively, it can be enjoyed as it is — a highly versatile area ideal for a gym, games room, studio or additional living space.
Externally, the property is equally impressive. The gardens have been carefully landscaped to create a private and tranquil setting, enhanced by the presence of running water which brings both movement and a calming natural soundtrack to the space. A true wildlife haven, the grounds attract an array of birds and nature, offering a rare sense of escape and connection to the countryside.
The gardens seamlessly extend from the principal living areas, creating an exceptional environment for entertaining and relaxation. Notably, they were considered for a BBC Gardeners' World Awards — a reflection of their design, maturity and year-round appeal.
Chestnut House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly adaptable home in one of Berkshire’s most desirable villages — combining timeless setting, modern living and exceptional outdoor space in equal measure.
