Ashmore Green, RG18 9HE

Salix House Salix House is a substantial and highly versatile seven bedroom family home, offering five bedrooms in the main house together with a separate two-bedroom annexe, generous reception accommodation, a heated outdoor swimming pool measuring approximately 11.8 metres by 4 metres and private established gardens. Situated in Ashmore Green, close to the sought-after village of Cold Ash, the property is exceptionally well suited to family life, multigenerational living, home working and entertaining. The welcoming entrance hall leads to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms. The principal sitting room is an elegant yet comfortable room, featuring a stone fireplace and a large picture window overlooking the front of the property. At the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen and family area. The kitchen is fitted with solid wood cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a range cooker, and opens into a bright garden room offering generous space for informal dining and relaxed family living. Views across the rear garden and direct access to the patio create an easy connection between the house and its outdoor spaces. The remainder of the ground floor provides considerable flexibility, with further reception rooms suitable for formal dining, family relaxation, children’s space or home working. A separate utility room, ground floor shower room and 5th bedroom add further practicality. Upstairs, the main house provides four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principle bedroom features extensive built-in cabinetry and a generous en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower, as well as attractive views over the rear garden. The remaining bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for children, guests or home working and are served by a family bathroom, while one further bedroom also benefits from its own shower. The Annexe A particular strength of Salix House is its spacious and genuinely self-contained two-bedroom annexe. Arranged at first-floor level and independently accessed, it comprises an open-plan kitchen and living room, a separate dining area, two bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a private balcony. The annexe offers exceptional flexibility and is ideally suited to extended family, adult children, guests, an au pair, live-in support or independent home working. It also has a proven history as successful short-term rental accommodation, generating more than £50,000 in gross booking revenue since 2023, including £19,274 during 2025 and £9,108 between January and July 2026. Bookings have been secured through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, as well as through direct reservations. The entire contents of the annexe can be included in the sale by separate agreement, enabling a purchaser to continue operating it as furnished short-term accommodation with minimal interruption or to use it immediately as fully equipped accommodation for family and guests. Its independent access and separation from the principal accommodation allow the annexe to function privately while remaining conveniently connected to the wider property. This makes Salix House particularly appealing to purchasers seeking multigenerational living, flexible guest accommodation or an established supplementary revenue opportunity.

Gardens and Grounds To the front, a generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and access to the garage. Mature planting creates an attractive approach, while gated access leads through to the rear garden. The private and established rear garden has been designed for both everyday family use and entertaining. Immediately behind the house is a broad paved patio with ample room for outdoor dining and relaxed seating. The heated outdoor swimming pool, measuring approximately 11.8 metres by 4 metres, forms a striking focal point within the garden and is surrounded by a generous paved area for loungers and summer entertaining. Areas of lawn, mature fruit trees, established hedging and ornamental planting provide privacy and an attractive outlook throughout the year. A substantial garden outbuilding, with water, electricity and gas connected, provides excellent storage and considerable flexibility for use as a workshop, studio, gym or hobby space, subject to any necessary consents. A further large shed, measuring approximately 17 ft 9 in by 9 ft 3 in, is positioned at the rear of the garden. Together, the pool, patio, outbuilding and established gardens provide an exceptional outdoor environment for entertaining, relaxation and family life.
