6 bed detached house for sale

North End, Newbury, Hampshire RG20

Berries Farmhouse is a delightful former farmhouse which has been updated and extended over the years to create a settled and charming family house of just over 4,000 sq ft. The house is beautifully presented with stylish interiors and offers spacious and light filled rooms with wonderful views over the garden, paddock and countryside beyond. The accommodation is well laid out, and the kitchen/breakfast room, with a traditional Aga range cooker and walk-in larder, flows seamlessly into a fabulous vaulted garden room which has a large full height glazed elevation opening onto the south west facing garden terrace. There is an elegant 27ft drawing room with an attractive open fireplace, smart bespoke bookshelves, and windows on three sides filling the room with natural light. The dining room is conveniently located close to the kitchen, and there is also a utilty room and cloakroom, as well as an office linking with the integral garage. An attractive staircase rises to the first floor where there are five bedrooms including the principal bedroom suite with en suite bathroom and large walk-in wardrobe. There are four further bedrooms and three further bathrooms on the first floor, and a fantastic 20ft studio room currently used for art. A secondary staircase leads to a further bedroom on the second floor, and all the bedrooms have wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.

The gardens and grounds at Berries Farmhouse extend to just under 3 acres and are fully mature. The garden is orientated to maximise the wonderful long rural views. There are sweeping lawns around the house and an area of orchard and flowering shrubs for year-round interest. Closer to the house are mixed borders and the house itself is clothed in scented climbers throughout the seasons. There is a paddock owned by Berries Farmhouse which is directly beyond the garden allowing a blending of garden and pasture as desired. The property is approached from the lane across a gravel driveway leading to a parking area for a number of cars beside the garage
