A house with unrivalled rural views, with wonderful gardens and planning to build a substantial property.
Description
The house as it stands offers good reception space, with a sitting room which opens into the dining area, a study and a breakfast room. There is a kitchen and adjoining utility room and a useful boot room / hallway. In addition, the ground floor offers an area which could potentially be used as a separate annexe, consisting of a sitting room / bedroom, a shower room and small kitchen.
The first floor provides a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom as well as a dressing area. The two further double bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
The house enjoys an elevated position overlooking the beautiful grounds and boasts the most magnificent far-reaching rural views over land farmed organically.
This is an exciting opportunity to create a substantial country house, in an elevated position encompassing spectacular and unrivalled views across the beautiful grounds and beyond.
Outside
The house is situated behind a high hedge, offering seclusion. The driveway to the front can accommodate numerous cars, plus a timber garage.
A gate leads through to the splendid gardens which have mature shrubs and trees offering privacy, but with open and uninterrupted far-reaching views over stunning countryside.
There is an outdoor swimming pool and a grass tennis court and croquet lawn which have recently been re-terraced with new drainage, re-surfaced, and are currently managed by a professional greens expert. The grounds extend to around 1.32 acres.
Location
The house is located on the outskirts of Brimpton, surrounded by glorious countryside and woodland and with excellent access to numerous footpaths.
The village of Brimpton has a church, the popular and picturesque Row Barge (1.5 miles) on the canal at Midgham, (which can be accessed by footpaths from the property), hairdressers and a highly regarded primary school. There are renowned public and private schools in the area. Independent schools include Elstree, Cheam, Lambroke, Bradfield College, St Andrews, Brockhurst and Marlston House and Downe House. The thriving market town of Newbury lies eight miles to the west, which offers a wide choice of eateries, shops, leisure facilities and the Racecourse.
Reading offers more extensive amenities as well as a fast service to London Paddington via the Elizabeth Line in as little as 23 minutes (and beyond to the east end of London). More locally, Midgham station (1.7 miles), Thatcham station (3.8 miles) providing services to London Paddington in as little as 47 minutes, whilst Overton (11 miles) to Waterloo takes around 53 minutes. There is also an excellent road network via the M4 and A34 providing access to London and around the country.
The wider area offers several golf courses and theatres including The Corn Exchange in Newbury and the Watermill Theatre in Bagnor.
