6 bed detached house for sale

Andover Road, Highclere, Newbury, Hampshire RG20

A substantial, beautifully built home on the edge of a sought after village.

Description
Sheepdrove House is an exceptional six bedroom property, beautifully positioned within the sought after village of Highclere. Approached through private electric gates and set within landscaped grounds, the property enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting. Mature hedging and established trees frame the house, creating an immediate sense of privacy and arrival.

At the heart of the home lies a striking open plan Neptune kitchen, dining and living space, an elegant, contemporary environment designed for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the room and creating a seamless connection between inside and out. A generous sitting room, complete with a feature fireplace, also opens onto the terrace, offering an inviting space for more formal occasions. Practicality has been thoughtfully considered, with a substantial utility and boot room incorporating a plant room, alongside a well appointed cloakroom and a separate study or snug.

The first floor offers four beautifully proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from en suite facilities, in addition to a stylish family bathroom. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a luxurious en suite with a freestanding bath and separate shower, complemented by a bespoke walk in wardrobe. The second floor provides two further versatile rooms, ideal as additional bedrooms, a home office or a media space, together with an en suite shower room and useful storage.

Tyrrell Homes have constructed Sheepdrove House to an exceptional standard, meeting the latest stringent building regulations with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, insulation and airtightness. Traditional materials, including green oak, have been incorporated to reduce reliance on plastics while enhancing durability and minimising maintenance.
