A contemporary family home overlooking the most beautiful grounds of just over 12 acres.
Mudhall Cottage is of recent construction and has been designed to make the most of its surroundings, with large contemporary windows that fill the rooms with natural light. At the centre of the home is a spacious kitchen and breakfast room, fitted with bespoke wooden cabinetry and pale granite worktops. There is plenty of space for a large dining table, and several sets of French doors which open directly onto the terraces and gardens. A well proportioned utility and boot room sits just off the kitchen.
The ground floor also includes a smart west facing formal drawing room with a log burning stove, and alongside and linking the reception rooms is the pretty snug/day room with an open fireplace and doors to the outside. A study and downstairs cloakroom complete this floor. On the lower ground floor, a versatile suite of rooms provides useful additional space. These rooms are currently arranged as a gym, wine store and occasional guest bedroom, with a shower room.
A striking oak and glass staircase leads to the first floor, where there are five bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite features Juliette balconies with long views across the land, a superb spacious bathroom and a separate dressing room. The remaining four bedrooms all afford different views while all the bathrooms are finished in a contemporary style. The house is fully wired for superfast ethernet, and the house, garage and stables all benefit from a remote access security system and automated entry gates.
Mudhall Cottage is a stylish modern country house set within more than 12 acres of peaceful countryside near Newbury. Surrounded by rolling fields and far reaching views, it offers the ideal balance of generous family living and a wonderful rural lifestyle. The property currently includes excellent equestrian facilities, though it could just as easily be enjoyed as a private retreat with wildflower meadows and uninterrupted scenery in every direction.
The gardens and grounds are divided between formal areas close to the house and the wider land beyond. Neat lawns, colourful borders and a large terrace create a lovely setting for outdoor living, while a raised west facing gravel deck is perfectly positioned to catch the evening sun.
Beyond the formal garden lies the stable yard, conveniently located beside the garage block and driveway. The gravel drive is large enough for full sized horse boxes. The stable yard includes five loose boxes with automatic water drinkers, a tack room, hay store and wash box. The post and rail paddocks have mains fed water troughs, and there is a Martin Collins all weather menage with lighting. The grazing land extends to around 12 acres.

This house has wonderful equestrian facilities and I love the fact that I can look out of nearly every window and see the horses.
