Vicarage Road, Yateley

Outside
The one acre plot offers privacy and seclusion whilst there are mature conifers and other specimen trees provide great screening from neighbours. Set to one side there are a number of ‘outbuildings’ comprising garage, old coach house and stables that have been converted/re-built into storage and workshop. Subject to the relevant regulations these buildings could be developed into secondary accommodation, home office etc.

Description
Tucked away in a tree lined road on the edge of the village and screened by tall hedges, this stunning Regency Villa is approached via a long gravelled driveway that sweeps past the front on the house to an ample parking area next to the garage and coach house.
Stone steps lead up to the front verandah, which offers a lovely seating area and leads to the original glazed double opening front doors to the reception hall. On one side of the hall is the formal drawing room with doors opening to the rear and large window overlooking the front. In fact the large windows are a super feature in most rooms, which coupled with the high ceilings gives a lovely bright and ‘airy’ feel to them as well as offering views over the extensive rear garden. There is also a formal dining room in addition to the kitchen/breakfast room, which no doubt will become the hub of family life.
The symmetrical floor plan results in 4 double bedrooms on the first floor, along with 2 bathrooms, whilst an addition to the original house has a second staircase that leads to 2 more bedrooms and another bathroom.

Vendors Comment
We bought the house because it was a far prettier and grander house than we could’ve afforded in Ascot, but super convenient for our then prep school age boys. We love the birdsong and privacy in the garden, the light everywhere from the large original sash windows and French doors, especially the west light through the three big windows in the kitchen, the open fires and the super proportions of the principal rooms.
