The Pippins, Swallowfield, RG7

?We've loved our time at The Pippins. It is a lovely quiet and rural development with a friendly community - there's always someone on hand if you need some milk, a tin of tomatoes or someone to feed the cat! The kids often play on the green and ride their bikes, we are so lucky to have the beautiful space opposite. Even 7 years on, we still love opening the curtains every morning to enjoy that beautiful outlook.

The location has been great for us as the area is very well connected, with easy access to both M3 and M4 for commuters, and Reading has the fast train into London Paddington. Being on the edge of countryside, we benefit from being a short stroll away from Swallowfield Park which is great for walks and has a children's play area. There is a lovely parish hall where we've enjoyed many kid's birthday parties. There's lots to do nearby, including the tennis club, Wellington Country Park and Wellington Farm shop all a short drive away.

We have made some wonderful friends here and are leaving due to work commitments, and so, it's now time for someone else to create some wonderful memories here.

This is an absolutely gorgeous home and arguably set on the best plot within the small development of around 30 homes built in 2017 by Bellway Homes. Sat on a corner plot over looking all the greenery directly opposite, you're welcomed into a lovely bright entrance hall with an office to the left and a living room to the right. The absolute stand out feature of this home is the epic kitchen/living/dining room that spans the whole width of the house and opens directly into the garden - the kitchen quality and design is great with a nice big peninsular unit with a breakfast bar and enough space for a big dining table, and a snug area with a sofa. There are French doors leading back into the living room giving a lovely flow to the layout. The generosity doesn't stop downstairs, upstairs has four great sized bedrooms, two of which have fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower rooms, with a further family bathroom shared between the other two rooms. Further benefits include a utility room, downstairs WC, garage & driveway parking.

Just a short walk from The Pippins is the village centre with the Crown Pub, a play park and a convenience store with a post office. Reading is around 8 miles away, you're on the fringes of Hampshire and there's also great access into Wokingham as well as the neighboring villages of Risley & Farley Hill. With a semi-rural feel, it's no surprise that the current owners love the amount of abundant greenspace and countryside on the doorstep to explore, as well as places like Wellington Country Park being only 5 mins away by car. Access to both the M3 & M4 motorway networks from here is also excellent.
