Creator: Le Figaro Properties

A beautiful 1920s Arts and Crafts family home in a fabulous location, a gentle stroll from the centre of Pangbourne. Surrounded by private gardens and grounds of 1.25 acres, with 5 bedrooms, a hard tennis court and a heated indoor swimming pool complex. And it’s unlisted! Scythe House is an exceptional family home, built in the 1920s in the late Arts and Crafts manner, that brims with original character and charm. Today it’s surrounded by beautifully planted gardens of 1.25 acres, with a hard tennis court and a heated indoor swimming pool, all of which are screened by high, mature hedges and trees. The house enjoys a southerly aspect with views across to the Sulham Hills. A near-perfect and original example of late Arts and Crafts design, Scythe House was designed by the respected architect Thomas Rayson. Constructed in 1926 it’s a beautiful example of a simpler, more organic aesthetic combined with modern building innovations, such as cavity walls – which are what make it so well insulated today. The house stays wonderfully cool in summer and warm in winter. From Green Lane, elegant iron gates lead you down a long curving drive, approximately 100 meters long – the house isn’t visible from the road. It’s worth noting this is one of the few remaining large plots in this highly sought-after area. On arrival at the house, the driveway opens to provide ample parking for numerous cars, in addition to the parking provided by the two double garages. The barley-twist brick pillars of the porch welcome you, in true Arts and Crafts style, to this exceptional home. Inside, you have five bedrooms, six bathrooms, four reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a butler’s pantry and a swimming pool complex with gym space.

House Shiplake (United Kingdom)

Set within an exceptionally private plot within the village of Shiplake, Woodstock is a detached family home built in the early 2000s with striking exposed timbers and decorative herringbone brick infill. The grand property offers more than 4,300 sq ft of accommodation over three floors with a well-planned layout that’s perfectly configured both for the demands of busy family life as well as entertaining. The formal reception rooms and relaxed living spaces are kept separate, providing a break between the two areas, though the excellent flow of the house makes it easy to join everything together for special occasions. Internally the house is presented to an exacting standard, with premium additions including oak flooring throughout the majority of the ground floor, fully modernised bath and shower rooms and a stunning kitchen/breakfast room with cabinetry by Martin Moore. The latter also incorporates premium appliances including a highly coveted Lacanche range stove with gas hob; a large central island provides a place to gather, while the dining area has lovely views over the garden on two sides. Adjoining the kitchen is a generous sitting room, warmed by a wood-burning stove and the ideal place for relaxed family time. The formal reception rooms are accessed directly from the inviting entrance hallway, including an L-shaped drawing room with feature fireplace open plan to a dining room – both are accessible via double doors and have French windows opening onto the garden, giving the option to open up the entertaining space to the outdoors in the warmer months. Completing the ground floor is a study, cloakroom and a useful boot room and utility room. The first-floor accommodation is arranged around a galleried landing, incorporating a principal suite with dressing room including bespoke fitted wardrobes and separate en suite bath/shower room. The remaining three bedrooms are all generously sized, one with an ensuite and the remaining share a family shower room.

On the first floor there is a useful studio which incorporates a spacious living area, a double bedroom and shower room, providing annexe potential or additional accommodation. The gardens to the front and rear are attractively landscaped with mature shrubs, ornamental hedging and a variety of established native trees, which offers a stunning green outlook from the house.

The village offers excellent amenities including a local shop and Post Office, butcher, bus stop, and the renowned Baskerville Arms pub and restaurant.
