The ground floor is entered via an inviting reception hall with an elegant staircase at its heart. To one side lies the sitting room, featuring the former shop window which fills the space with natural light and offers access to the garden. The family room provides a warm and versatile living area, complete with a Barbas multi-fuel fire and French doors opening onto the terrace, perfect for entertaining. A charming dining room sits to the front of the house, while the kitchen forms the centrepiece of the home with its bespoke “Plain English” cabinetry, integrated appliances, and the characterful original bread oven. From here, a stable door leads to the back hall, giving access to the utility room, cloakroom, and a useful pantry. In addition, a staircase descends to the basement, currently arranged as an office or games room.
Upstairs, the first floor is arranged around a light-filled landing. The main bedroom enjoys delightful garden views and boasts a luxurious en-suite with a claw-foot bath and separate shower. There are three further double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, and a well-appointed family bathroom, providing ample accommodation for family and guests alike.
Outside
The property sits in the heart of the village, accessed via electric gates leading to a gravelled driveway and large detached garage. The gardens are mature and well-planted, with a sunny terrace ideal for entertaining. A gate leads through to the private swimming pool area, fully refurbished with an electric cover and heated via an air source heat pump, surrounded by shaped Hornbeam trees for privacy.
Situation
Ashampstead is a quintessential English village, tucked high on the Berkshire Downs within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Surrounded by Yattendon Estate farmland, the village offers countryside walks, a 12th-century church with historic frescoes, and the popular Casey Fields farm shop.
Transport links are excellent, with the B4009 giving easy access to Newbury and Streatley, the M4 (J12 & J13), and the A34. Local rail stations at Goring-on-Thames and Pangbourne provide direct services to London Paddington in under an hour, now enhanced by Crossrail from Reading.
The area is exceptionally well served for schools, including Hampstead Norreys Primary, The Downs in Compton, Pangbourne College, Bradfield College, Downe House, Shiplake College, and The Oratory, alongside many other leading independent and preparatory schools.
