Summary of Accommodation

March House offers beautifully presented and highly versatile accommodation extending to approximately 228 sq. metres, combining the character and proportions expected of a Georgian home with a thoughtfully designed modern extension. The property has recently undergone a programme of improvements and benefits from a new smart LPG central heating boiler installed in November 2025, which carries a 10-year warranty, solid Meranti (Philippine Mahogany) double-glazed windows throughout, utilising a mix of traditional sash and case and casement styles, and an abundance of retained period features, including impressive room proportions, deep skirtings, traditional fireplaces and generous ceiling heights.

The accommodation is entered via a welcoming entrance porch, which leads through to an elegant and well-proportioned dining room positioned at the heart of the house. To the front, the impressive dual-aspect lounge is a delightful reception space, featuring a beautiful Lincrusta frieze below the cornicing; the room is centred around an attractive fireplace and enjoys lovely views over the surrounding gardens.

A particular highlight of the property is the substantial family dining kitchen with its beamed, vaulted ceiling created through a sympathetic rear extension and featuring a hand-laid course of traditional rubblestone, sourced from the garden grounds for a perfect geological match. Measuring over 25 feet in length, this superb open-plan space provides an ideal hub for modern family life and features premium, German-manufactured cabinetry with solid ash doors, beautifully complemented by thick solid granite work surfaces throughout and a 110cm Rangemaster range cooker with a matching hood in black and brass. The kitchen offers ample room for cooking, dining and entertaining and French doors provide direct access to the gardens. Adjoining the kitchen is a ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite shower room, creating excellent guest accommodation or an ideal space for multi-generational living.

The western wing of the property comprises a sitting room, utility room, WC and storeroom. With its independent layout and separate access, this section of the house offers excellent potential to be adapted into a self-contained annexe, subject to any necessary consents, making it an attractive proposition for those seeking accommodation for relatives, guests or home-working purposes.

On the first floor, a central landing provides access to three generous bedrooms and a family bathroom. The Drawing Room/Principal Bedroom is particularly spacious and enjoys the character and proportions synonymous with the period, while the remaining bedrooms are well served by the family bathroom.

The second floor is dedicated to a superb, multi-functional space, creating a highly flexible room that could be utilised as a family room, games room, home office, or studio, depending on individual requirements. This bright space further benefits from extensive, professionally installed fully-lined eaves cupboards providing exceptional hidden storage capacity.

March House occupies an enviable position within mature and well-established grounds of circa 1,923 m², bounded by the river to the rear, offering a secluded setting with access to nearby river walks, enjoying a high degree of privacy and seclusion despite its convenient village setting.

Approached via a generous private driveway, the property benefits from ample off-street parking and an attractive sense of arrival.

The garden grounds extend to the front, side and rear of the house and are laid predominantly to lawn, interspersed with a variety of mature trees and established planting which create a peaceful and sheltered setting. The grounds provide excellent space for families, gardening enthusiasts and outdoor entertaining, with numerous areas from which to enjoy the property's leafy surroundings.

Overall, the gardens and grounds are a particular feature of March House, complementing the character of this handsome Georgian former farmhouse and providing a rare sense of space, privacy and tranquillity in the heart of Reston.
