Description

Sellers' comments...

"We have lived at Fulwood House for the past 25 years and have loved every minute of our time here. The only reason for our move is that we are downsizing due to retirement. We love Fulwood House for its location – right in the heart of Spencers Wood village – while still offering complete privacy, set within its own enclosed plot and positioned behind a double-gated entrance. The house itself, built by David Wilson in the late 1990s, is bright, spacious, and incredibly welcoming. It’s flooded with natural light throughout the day and evening, and includes features that are often missing in more modern homes – such as a large kitchen-diner, separate dining room, and a utility room. Over the years, many family members and friends have stayed with us and commented on the generous space and warm feel of our home. The garden is a fantastic size, perfect for family life and entertaining, and has been the setting for countless parties and celebrations. We’ve been lucky to have wonderful neighbours – friendly, supportive, and always happy to help when needed. The location is ideal, with excellent access to the M4, just 5 miles from Reading, 40 miles to London, and within an hour’s drive to Bristol and Southampton. Even Birmingham is reachable within 90 minutes. We can only hope that the new owners will love Fulwood House as much as we have, and that it brings them just as much happiness and joy as it has brought us over the years."

Adam and Dan's (Estate agents) comments...

Wow – where do we begin with this beautiful home in the heart of Spencers Wood? It’s easy to see why the current owners have stayed here for so many years. This property truly stands out, offering spacious, versatile living in a sought-after village location.

Set back from the road behind a private gated entrance, the home instantly gives a sense of privacy and grandeur. Inside, the gallery-style staircase creates a striking first impression, setting the tone for the rest of the house.

The accommodation includes a generous front-to-back living room with a bay window to the front and patio doors opening onto the garden. There’s also a separate dining room – ideal for entertaining – and a spacious kitchen/diner overlooking the secluded rear garden, complete with a separate utility room.

Upstairs, you’ll find five double bedrooms, including two with en-suite shower rooms, plus a modern family bathroom – that’s three bathrooms in total, making it perfect for larger families or guests.

There’s also plenty of potential here – the double garage could be converted into additional living space, and removing the wall between the kitchen/diner and formal dining room could create an impressive open-plan layout.

Outside, the garden offers a peaceful retreat – perfect for morning coffee or relaxing in the evening.

Homes like this in Spencers Wood rarely come to market, especially with this level of space and potential. We highly recommend booking a viewing to experience it in person.

Area comments...

Located just south of Reading, Spencers Wood is a popular village offering a great mix of rural charm and commuter convenience. The area benefits from local shops, a village hall, a post office and highly regarded schools, making it ideal for families. There’s plenty of green space and countryside walks nearby, along with easy access to the M4 and Reading town centre just 5 miles away. With a strong sense of community and a growing selection of amenities, Spencers Wood is a fantastic place to call home.

We're a group of fun, passionate people on a mission to create an enjoyable experience all round. If we didn't, we'd be wearing suits and leaflet dropping! Not that there's anything wrong with that, we just happen to know there's a better way!
