A beautiful and impressive family home in a sought after market town.
Steeped in history, The Pump House is believed to date back to the 17th century, with notable additions made in the 1820s. Once a working mill, the property is located on a site of historical significanceset amidst the grounds of the Battle of Newbury and earlier Roman and Iron Age settlements.

The result is a spacious, light-filled residence featuring high ceilings, beautiful arched windows, and a soft, sophisticated colour palette throughout.
