Description

Close to Shinfield, Farnborough and Pinewood Studios, this characterful period home offers a versatile blend of countryside charm and excellent accessibility. Originally forming part of the historic Newlands Estate, the property sits within the Arborfield Conservation Area and provides a strong, authentic backdrop for filming and photography.

The detached red brick cottage dates back to the 17th century and extends to approximately 2,233 sq ft, with a sympathetic modern extension to the rear. Internally, the house features soft, neutral interiors with well proportioned rooms throughout. Traditional fireplaces appear in the snug, dining room and main living space, while exposed beams, timber detailing and original doors add texture and period interest across the ground floor.

The kitchen is a bright, functional space with a central island and strong sightlines through to the adjoining dining room, creating an open yet characterful layout ideal for filming. Additional reception spaces include a cosy snug and a relaxed family living room, offering multiple options for set builds, dressing and varied scene use.

Externally, the house benefits from an East West orientation and a mature garden extending approximately 150 ft. The garden includes a paved terrace, lawned areas and an 'endless pool', providing flexible outdoor filming opportunities. Multiple access points are available to both the house and garden, supported by numerous external power points and separate circuit boards serving the house, garage, garden and garden shed.

Parking is available on the driveway, with additional overflow parking possible at the neighbouring Village Hall. The location offers excellent access to the M4, Reading and Wokingham, with nearby village shops, cafés, woodlands and surrounding pastureland all within easy reach.
