An extensively modernised, 7,188 sq ft country house set in about 8.2 acres, offering panoramic Berkshire views and purpose-built equestrian facilities. The main house provides five bedrooms and five bathrooms across generous, light-filled rooms with high ceilings and contemporary finishes. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe offers practical guest or staff accommodation and a separate entrance to the stables.
The equestrian yard includes six loose boxes, a tack room, hot and cold water, a dedicated field trough and a ménage suitable for training and dressage. Grounds are well fenced and laid out for grazing and turnout, making the property immediately useable for riding owners. Secure features include electric gated access, a DoorBird entry system and a DMSS camera system.
Comfort and technology are strong points: underfloor heating in principal living areas, air-conditioning in key rooms, Lutron lighting, automated curtains, Sonos sound and fibre broadband. There is a private indoor pool and a double garage with automatic doors. The location sits within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape with easy access to Hungerford, Kintbury rail links and major road networks.
Notable practical considerations: the property is heated by oil-fired boilers and uses private drainage. The EPC is D and the external walls are cavity-built with assumed lack of insulation noted—further fabric improvements may be desirable. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers should allow for the running costs of large grounds, pool and stables despite the recent renovation.
