A five bedroom house of distinction and timeless elegance hidden from view yet accessible to Newbury's amenities and open spaces.
A distinguished and rarely available period residence which has been in the same family for over forty years and now offers an exceptional opportunity for its next custodians to create a remarkable home.
Dating from 1850 this unlisted five bedroom period home has been in the same ownership for over forty years and is now ready to be the most amazing family home for the new owners.
Your first impression of the house is from the elegant and impressive entrance hall setting the tone for the refined accommodation that unfolds beyond. From here, all the principal reception rooms are easily accessed.
To the left lies the impressive kitchen and breakfast room, a wonderfully generous space designed for both culinary creativity and relaxed dining. Striking bay windows bathe the room in natural light, while extensive cabinetry and a dedicated pantry provide exceptional storage.
Opposite, the formal drawing room offers an exquisite setting for entertaining. Floor to ceiling windows frame views of the gardens, and a handsome central mantelpiece with open fire creates a warm and inviting focal point.
A charming family room/snug, currently arranged as a study, enjoys its own bay window overlooking the side gardens and features a characterful brick fireplace.
A secondary staircase leads to an additional family room with direct access to the outdoors, enhancing the home’s versatility. This wing also includes a scullery, utility room, and workshop, ideal for practical household needs.
The principal bedroom suite is a magnificent retreat, distinguished by triple bay windows, a full wall of fitted storage, and a private en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms occupy this floor—one with its own en suite—alongside a spacious family bathroom.
A further bedroom with bathroom is accessed via the landing, while the secondary staircase rises to a delightful second floor bedroom, perfect for guests or older children.
A useful cellar beneath the house provides excellent storage.
The property is approached via a long, sweeping driveway culminating in an elegant turning circle. Ample parking is available, complemented by a double carport and store.
The mature gardens wrap gracefully around the house, offering privacy and beauty in equal measure. Expansive lawns, established shrub borders, majestic trees, and a traditional brick wall create a serene and picturesque setting.
Beyond the formal gardens lies a superb two acre paddock, accessible directly from the grounds—ideal for equestrian use, recreation, or further landscaping potential.
