Seller Insight: What is your favourite room in the house and why? Andy's favourite room is the kitchen as it's a great place to have family time and to entertain friends. We have created the kitchen we always wanted with a larder, breakfast cupboard and the island is the focal point which we all gather round throughout the day. Tina's favourite room is the conservatory. It is a beautiful space to sit and look out at the garden and birds with a cup of tea in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening with candles gently lighting the room. Who do you think will be the ideal new owner? We think the ideal new owners would suit a growing family. We particularly appreciated the security being off road and with the gates allowing children and pets to roam freely. It has the benefit of being in the middle of old town and yet being set back with plenty of parking and with very easy access to the Victorian Town Gardens which we enjoy daily. What do you love most and why about your home? Several things come to mind; the space, the fact that all of the children have their own bedrooms and bathrooms means we have never had a que at the bathroom door! and they have their own privacy even when guests come to stay as well. To be in the heart of Old Town and have as much parking as we do here, is one thing we are really going to miss! Never having to worry about parking when everyone comes home. Being so close to the Town Gardens – we go to the Town Gardens sometimes twice a day! Throughout the year there is so much going on there and the Blossom Trees are to die for ! What do you love about the local community? Our neighbours are just lovely and popping to Town Gardens where you'll know everyone (and everyone knows Obi!) and you get to know the regulars whether you're walking the dog or you're popping for a bacon roll! We have built up a network of friends where the children have all grown up together. Wood Street is fab! Lots of independent restaurants, bars and street parties which are so much fun! How easy is it to commute from here? I used to commute to both Newbury and London on a daily basis which is so easy either on the motorway or mainline station which is walking distance/short cycle from the front door. Our children commute to Reading and Oxford which is also a really easy commute. We are very centralised here in Old Town. What made you choose this property over others? This is a good question! When we moved here we were a multigenerational family and needed a home that would accommodate us all without feeling that we were all on top of eachother. As soon as we approached the house and came through the front gates we just saw all the autumn leaves on the trees and the house was almost perfectly framed by the tree nextdoor – we were sold there and then! Ground Floor: A spacious entrance hall welcomes you into the home, with newly laid herringbone flooring which flows seamlessly throughout a majority of the ground floor.
