Property description
Lothlorien by name pays homage to Tolkein’s Elvish woodland realm and much like the name, the property feels peacefully nestled away in its own woodland haven. Set on a quiet tree lined street, Lothlorien is surrounded by countryside walks, perfect for dogs and absorbing nature. The substantial house was built at the end of the 20th century and has been well maintained over the years with renovation of the kitchen and bathrooms, and redecoration throughout, providing an attractive and spacious environment for day-to-day life, as well as entertaining friends and family. A wonderful mature sloping rear garden that appears to seamless blend into the woodland at the rear, further solidifies a sense that Lothlorien is connected to the natural landscape.
Finished and maintained with high specification throughout, Lothlorien offers a versatile layout ideal for family life and entertaining. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, and extends to more than 5400 sq ft. The ground floor has a welcoming entrance hall at its heart with built-in storage and a cloakroom/WC leading to two reception rooms, including a 20 ft reception room with wood burning stove and a dual-aspect dining room, both of which have garden views and access via French doors to the sizeable balcony. The dine-in country style kitchen has granite worktops and centre island, integrated appliances with two ovens and a third oven in the adjoining boot room for further party food preparation. The reception space continues on the lower ground floor with spacious sitting room, playroom and access to the outside paved terrace. There is also a double bedroom with en suite shower room, perfect for guests. The remaining four double bedrooms can be found on the first floor, all of which benefit from fitted storage and two of which have en suite bathroom/shower rooms, as well as a separate family bathroom.
Outside
The house is set within lovely, wraparound, landscaped gardens, comprising lawns, mature trees, a patio adjacent to the house for outside dining and a large gravel driveway accessed via a gated entrance. There is a double car port with workshop and first floor area used for storage. Steady, sweeping steps snake their way down the garden and lead to a raised deck terrace above a water feature for further al fresco entertainment opportunities. There are woodland views to the front and rear of the property.
Situation
Slanting Hill is situated a mile to the south of the sought-after village of Hermitage, which is host to a post office, church, pre-school and primary school, Co-op supermarket, garden centre and several public houses. In addition to the village schools, the excellent choice of schooling in the area includes The Downs School, Harriet House Montessori, St Andrew’s, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Bradfield College, Pangbourne College and Downe House. Slanting Hill is five miles northeast of Newbury, which has more extensive facilities and sporting and entertainment venues, including a racecourse, showground, leisure centres and golf courses. Newbury, Thatcham and Theale have mainline train stations on the Paddington line, while Crossrail services are available from Reading. The M4 and M3 can be easily accessed for travel towards London and its airports or the West Country. The area is renowned for its attractive, rolling countryside, and there are many opportunities for walking, riding, cycling and country pursuits.
