PenwoodHighclere, Newbury, Berkshire, RG20 9EW

Penwood Grange is an attractive country house, originally the major part of Penwood Farm’s house, which is believed to date from the late 17th century. It has been extended over time and now offers well proportioned family accommodation alongside approximately 40 acres of gardens, grassland and woodland.

A gravel drive leads to a generous turning area beside the annexe, with a path continuing to the front entrance. Constructed of mellow brick beneath a tiled roof, the house provides four reception rooms, six bedrooms and three bathrooms. A notable feature is the timber-framed dining room, which enjoys views across the gardens.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, drawing room, dining room, study, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom. The first floor includes the principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and dressing room, together with three further bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the second floor are two further bedrooms, one with plumbing in place for a bathroom, and an office that could also be used as an additional bedroom, subject to requirements.

The separate annexe provides flexible ancillary accommodation, suitable for guest use, a games room or other domestic purposes. The adjoining garage offers covered parking and storage, with a further garage positioned near the entrance to the property.

The garden has broad lawns, established shrub borders and mature trees, creating a private and established setting. Rhododendrons and azaleas provide seasonal colour in early summer. Beyond the paddocks, the woodland includes glades with daffodils and bluebells in spring.

There is a separate access from Fox’s Lane, with a driveway leading to the stable yard and horsebox parking. The grazing is gently sloping and includes a level area suitable for an outdoor arena. The facilities include loose boxes, a storage barn, tractor shed, tack room, hardstanding and wash down area.

There is also a circular woodchip canter track and a schooling strip, previously used for training racehorses and point-to-pointers under a BHA permit. The property is a natural playground providing a versatile layout for a range of uses.
