Thirty Years For The Street To Settle In, Three Years Of Renewal To Bring This Family Home Bang Up To Date. Reads Field has been a popular estate for over three decades, this spacious detached has only had two owners since 2002, and the current family have spent since 2023 updating.

All the neighbours know each other by name. There's a WhatsApp group so parcels never go missing, street BBQs through the summer and mulled wine at Christmas. These are the kind of things that only happen once a street has had thirty years to settle into itself.

Since 2023, the current owners have worked through the house, updating it room by room. The lounge, dining room and hallway all have brand new flooring, and new shutters went in this January. Downstairs has been redecorated throughout, with new lights in the lounge and dining room and skimmed ceilings across the ground floor.

The kitchen has a good run of built-in appliances - dishwasher, fridge, oven and hob - plus a separate utility room with access through to the integral garage, handy for the mud and boots that come with family life.

There's a downstairs WC too, always useful with four bedrooms' worth of family and guests to accommodate. French doors lead from the dining room straight out to the garden, so when the sun's out, inside and outside become one sociable space.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are proper doubles with fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom has been freshly decorated with new flooring in the en-suite, and the family bathroom has been completely redone with an Easy Bathroom four-piece suite, rainfall shower and a heated towel rail.

A new water tank and a whole-house pump mean proper pressure throughout, and a water softener is fitted too - the kind of detail you only appreciate once it's there.

There's also loft storage, half-boarded with a light already in place, for the Christmas tree, suitcases and everything that doesn't need to live downstairs.

There's a separate home office too, fully decorated with a herringbone style laminate floor and its own remote-control lighting - genuinely useful if working from home is part of your working week.

Outside, the driveway holds several cars with ease, and there's an EV charging point already fitted, so no juggling cables through a window.

Round the back, the garden has been landscaped with brand new porcelain paving and a patio, big enough for a table and chairs with room to spare. It's south west facing, so it gets the evening sun, and there's still space set aside for a trampoline or play area if that's what the next family needs.

The solar system generates around 6,000kWh a year, and the current owners earned over £700 from exporting power back to the grid last year alone.

Four Marks village has a “Good” primary school, a village hall, a church and your everyday shopping is covered. There’s a fabulous bakery, a Tesco Express, M&S Food and a choice of takeaways all within a ten minute walk, while Alton - with its Waitrose, M&S and Sainsbury's - is ten minutes by car, with direct trains from there to London Waterloo in around an hour.

If you're looking for a street that's already proved popular, with a house that's had every hard job done for you in the last couple of years, this one is well worth putting at the top of your “Must See” list.

We're expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
