Set within almost 5 acres of private grounds and bordering Padworth Common, Manor House is a substantial Tudor‑Revival country home offering nearly 7,600 sq ft of flexible living. The house combines prominent period features — exposed beams, high ceilings and multiple fireplaces — with contemporary comforts such as a vaulted kitchen, stylish bathrooms and ultra‑fast giga WiFi. Formal and family spaces are well separated: a grand 27 ft drawing room, dining room, study and a family wing with direct access make the layout adaptable for large households.
Leisure and equestrian facilities are standout assets. An indoor heated pool with terrace and changing rooms creates a year‑round retreat. Four stables, tack/feed store, three paddocks and an all‑weather ménage suit riders and those wanting immediate access to hacking on local commons. A 30 ft games room above the garage has a private entrance and potential to become a self‑contained annex, subject to necessary consents.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators, the walls are original solid brick (assumed uninsulated), and the house sits in a rural hamlet with limited local amenities. The scale and age of the home mean ongoing maintenance and running costs should be expected, and the property sits in West Berkshire Council Tax Band H (very expensive). For buyers seeking a characterful family manor with extensive grounds, equestrian facilities and excellent commuter links, this offers rare scope — but plan for energy upgrades and estate upkeep.
