Galtimore is an exceptional secluded family home, beautifully refurbished and extended in recent years to offer extensive, flexible accommodation across two spacious floors. The property combines elegant living with modern efficiency, featuring high-end finishes throughout and a range of eco-friendly features, including LED lighting, a ground source heat pump, triple glazing and air conditioning throughout the entire house which can be modified to a scent of your choice.
Upon entering, the large reception hall welcomes you with a sense of grandeur, setting the tone for the home's airy, light-filled rooms, which have been thoughtfully designed to maximize both comfort and style. The main sitting room is a standout, offering a fabulous space with an open fireplace fitted with a Jet master fire, recessed lighting, and double doors leading to the expansive garden terrace. This terrace, which wraps around the property, provides a generous outdoor entertaining area with stunning views of the landscaped gardens, surrounding grounds, and countryside.
The reception hall flows seamlessly into the dining room, which also opens onto the garden, and through to the superbly appointed kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen features high-quality wood floor and wall units, a central island, and a range of top-of-the-line integrated appliances, including two ovens, an induction hob, microwave, warming drawers, and two dishwashers. There is also a coffee machine and a dedicated lobby housing a walk-in fridge and freezer for additional convenience.
The ground floor continues with a corridor leading to a spacious principal bedroom suite, featuring a stunning range of built-in wood furniture, a dressing area, and an en-suite bathroom. Double doors from the bedroom open directly to the terrace, offering a perfect private retreat. Additionally, the ground floor includes a study with built-in bookshelves and garden views, two further bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a family shower room.
The first floor provides even more living space, with three additional double bedrooms, each boasting its own en-suite. Off the landing, you'll find a boiler room, a laundry room with an en-suite shower, and a magnificent games room with ample eaves storage, ideal for recreation or entertaining.
Externally, Galtimore is accessed through two sets of electric gates, providing secure in-and-out access. These open onto a large parking area in front of the double garage, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles. Behind the garage is a separate studio flat, complete with a kitchen, reception area, and en-suite shower room which is perfect for guests, extended family, or staff accommodation.
The landscaped gardens are laid mainly to lawn, offering a beautiful, level space for families to enjoy outdoor activities. The expansive, paved terrace—accessible from all main reception rooms—provides an exceptional area for al fresco dining or relaxing, complete with an outdoor fireplace, power sockets, and three umbrellas for shade. The grounds are well-maintained and offer stunning views over the surrounding countryside, creating a tranquil setting for this luxurious family home.
Galtimore enjoys an outstanding location just outside the Berkshire village of Hurst, surrounded by open countryside yet within easy reach of several towns. Hurst itself offers a post office, local shop, bakery, three pubs, and a highly regarded primary school. Further amenities can be found in Twyford, Wokingham, and Winnersh, including supermarkets, shops, pubs, restaurants, and perhaps most acquainted to the area is Dinton Pastures Country Park which features 350 acres of land as well as activities for the whole family. Reading is only seven miles away, offering extensive shopping, leisure, and dining options. The property is also well-connected by road, with the A329(M), M4, and M40 within easy reach. Mainline rail services are accessible from nearby Winnersh, Wokingham, and Reading, with Twyford also benefiting from Crossrail services to London Paddington.
