This is a property that has been thoughtfully and skillfully designed to create a truly fabulous home. The current owners moved from South Africa and have recreated the wonderful lateral space that is so popular there. The property has great curb appeal, with a large shingle drive giving ample parking for residents and guests, and also adding to the secluded feel of the property. On entry, the high standards of finish are immediately on show, with oversized tiled floors, a vaulted ceiling, and a pair of crittall style glazed doors opening to the hub of this home, a magnificent open-plan kitchen/living space. The ceilings here have also been vaulted, adding volume to the space and creating a light, airy, and luxurious atmosphere. Underfloor heating runs through this space into the sitting room, entrance hall, utility and principal suite. Three sets of glazed patio doors lead to the surrounding terraces and garden, linking the inside to the outside and flooding the space with natural light. A gallery above the kitchen adds architectural interest, and a central island unit creates a sociable feel. The kitchen boasts an impressive range of integrated appliances, ideal for family mealtimes and larger gatherings, and a good-sized utility room leads off, with outside access (perfect for muddy boots and paws) and a further range of wall and base units, a basin, and plumbing for utilities�ideal for busy family life. There is a separate lounge/TV room leading of, with it's own set of patio doors, making a perfect snug. Double crittall doors open from the kitchen/living area into a gorgeous formal dining room with a pair of full-height windows and ample space for large gatherings. The principal suite lies beyond, where there is a useful study and beautifully finished shower room opening into a splendid bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and its own private access to the outside deck, giving a luxury boutique feel. There is also access through to a useful store, with its own up-and-over door access to the drive - ideal for bikes, etc.
All other bedrooms are on the opposite side of the property, making the principal suite a quiet, private space. Within the main house, there are four further bedrooms, all doubles, including a lovely guest bedroom with ensuite and access to the terrace. There is a family bathroom and separate shower room servicing this part of the house, all finished to a meticulous standard, with metro-style tiles, elegant tiled floors, and high-quality fittings.
There is further accommodation provided by a brilliant studio (added under ermitted evelopment), currently used as two bedrooms, a contemporary shower room, and a kitchenette - adding versatility and flexibility to the property.
Outside, the gardens are designed for enjoyment and relaxation rather than heavy-duty maintenance, with a pair of terraces, neatly bordered lawns, and shingle seating areas�gated, private, and secure with a lovely wooded backdrop.
Makins Road is a quiet residential street of detached properties located within 1 mile of the town center and just 1/2 mile from Valley Road Primary and Gillotts Secondary schools. A local shop for essentials, along with a Chinese and pizza takeaway, is conveniently located within 1/4 mile, and all the town's amenities are a short drive or a 20-minute walk away. The property provides easy access to two supermarkets, a cinema, a theatre, various shops, pubs, and restaurants. The railway station, offering a 45-minute commute to London Paddington and a connection to Crossrail at Twyford, is also nearby. The area is well served by state schools, being within the catchment for Valley Road and Gillotts schools, and several private schools, including Rupert House, Cranford House, Reading Blue Coat, The Oratory, The Abbey School for Girls, and Queen Anne's in Caversham.
