Bowden is a stunning Arts & Crafts house built in 1897 by Arnold Mitchell for Sir Benjamin Baker, a renowned civil engineer.

The house boasts outstanding family and entertaining accommodation, with a central reception hall, drawing room, party room, dining room, TV room, snug, and large kitchen with family sitting and dining areas. The property also features seven bedrooms, with three en-suite bathrooms and two family bathrooms, as well as a separate first-floor WC. Located in an elevated setting between Pangbourne and Upper Basildon, Bowden offers easy access to local amenities, including a supermarket, butcher, and various pubs and restaurants, as well as a railway station providing direct access to London Paddington. The property is also close to Reading, which offers a wider range of amenities, and has excellent access to the motorway network, making it an ideal location for those who need to commute.
