SITUATION
Believed to have Saxon origins, the small village of Tidmarsh lies
astride the A340 Pangbourne to Theale road and is very conveniently
located just to the west of Reading in delightful open countryside.
The River Pang flows through the village along the east side from
its source high up in the Berkshire Downlands, on its way to meet
the Thames at Pangbourne and historically the long straight road
between Pangbourne and Theale is attributed to the Romans being a
direct route from Silchester Calleva to the nearest crossing point
on the Thames.
The Parish Church of Saint Laurence has Norman origins notably
with a superb carved doorway and one of the few apses found in the
County, The 12th century Greyhound Inn, which has been serving ale
since 1625, is of cruck timber frame construction with a thatched
roof which sweeps down almost to the ground at the rear. In the
centre of the village is the Millennium Recreation Ground. The
countryside surrounding the village is particularly scenic and
designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
There are excellent road links to the M4 motorway and Reading
and for rail commuters there are mainline stations at Pangbourne
and Theale providing excellent services to Reading and London
Paddington in under the hour.
In addition to having well revered and outstanding local state
primary and secondary schooling, the area is also extremely well
served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular
note; Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School,
Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The
Oratory School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House,
Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey
School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon
School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen &
St Katharine.
Crossrail Elizabeth Line services have commenced from Reading,
which together with the completed electrification of the line has
significantly improved travelling times to East and West
destinations.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Built in 1959, Barn Cottage is an individual detached house with
pretty white rendering on brick walls and tiled roof. Having been
extended in 1998 and again in 2005 to ground level, it offers
spacious accommodation. Entrance is into a hallway with stair
access. The dining room is at the front of the house next to the
kitchen which overlooks the garden. The utility room includes a
cloakroom and has a stable back door. There is a useful study area
before an archway leads you through into the sitting room. There is
an exposed bricked wall housing a fireplace and the room leads
naturally through into the family room with french doors and garden
views. The large bedroom suite which forms part of the extension
can be self contained, should it be required, with access via
french doors from the sitting room end. The large bedroom area has
built in wardrobes as well as electric roof lights with inset
blinds. The ensuite has a bath and walk in shower area. This space
offers a wonderful addition to the property and could have
alternative uses as well as being a separate annexe it could be a
gym or office.
Upstairs, the main bedroom has garden and field views as well as
built in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. There are 3 further
bedrooms and family bathroom.

approached across a gravelled driveway allowing for good driveway
parking. The single garage is longer than average and has a front
up and over door as well as a side door. A gate leads you round to
the rear south facing garden. There is a terrace across the
majority of the back which allows for seating areas and a wonderful
opportunity for al fresco dining. The majority of the garden is
laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and hedged boundaries
