Rockbourne Road, Sherfield-on-Loddon RG27 0SR

Owner’s perspective:

Sherfield Park has been a wonderful place to live, largely because of the people. There’s always something going on, from street parties for royal occasions to ‘Sherfest’ on the green each July, and neighbours compete for the best-dressed home at Halloween and Christmas. The community centre adds to this with running clubs, spin classes, photography competitions and mum and baby groups, among much else. I’m clearly not the only one who rates it, as two of my relatives have moved here in the last few years.

The location is hard to beat. The M3 and M4 are both within easy reach, and I’ve had straightforward commutes to Oxford, Bracknell and Fleet from here. Supermarkets, DIY stores, pubs, cafes and a hospital are all within about 10 minutes. I’m a regular at the nearby Village gym, and on sunny days I borrow the family dog and head out across the fields and along the River Loddon. A public footpath just opposite the development takes you straight there.

What struck me most about the apartment is the light. Tall sash-style windows run along both sides, so it feels bright throughout the day. The balcony off the living room catches both the morning and evening sun. It’s my favourite spot for a weekend coffee, and the sunsets over the far end of the green are stunning. The second bedroom is really versatile: I’ve used it as a comfortable home office, it began as a guest room, and the previous owners had it as a dining room. It has been a perfect home for me on my own, and it would suit a busy couple looking for somewhere cosy just as well. I hope the next owner enjoys it as much as I have.

Property details:

This bright two double bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of a modern building, with a wide range of local amenities close by.

The welcoming hallway is filled with natural light from two large windows and includes an airing cupboard and a useful storage cupboard. The generous main bedroom has two double built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The second bedroom has ample room for a double bed and additional furniture. The stylish, spacious family bathroom includes vanity storage beneath the basin.

At the heart of the home is the open plan kitchen and living room, where windows and doors on three sides create a wonderful sense of light and space. A charming window above the sink looks out over fields and trees, making washing up a little more pleasant. The kitchen comes with a gas hob, single oven, washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Double doors lead from the living room onto a wraparound balcony, giving you private outdoor space for warmer days.

Outside, there is allocated parking for one vehicle, with plenty of on-road space for a second car or visitors. There is also a secure, brick-built bike store.
