Set on a large plot in the hamlet of Knowle, High Banks is a substantial four-double-bedroom family home with far-reaching rural views across Jones' Mill Nature Reserve to Martinsell Hill. The house offers generous principal accommodation across about 2,181 sq ft, including a sitting room with wood-burning stove, an eat-in kitchen, separate reception spaces and a dedicated home office — suiting modern home-working and family life.
Outside, the large enclosed rear garden and suntrap patio capture afternoon light and provide direct access to the nature reserve. A gated gravel driveway supplies ample off-street parking and useful outbuildings provide practical storage. The property’s traditional charm is evident in cottage-style beams and a brick fireplace, creating comfortable, characterful living.
Practical points to note: the house is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and currently holds an EPC rating of D. Broadband speeds are slow and drainage is private. Council tax sits in Band F. These factors are important for running costs and any planned energy-efficiency upgrades.
This is a strong choice for families seeking space, countryside lifestyle and excellent commuter links (short walk to Pewsey station with services to London). Buyers looking to improve thermal performance or modernise utilities will find clear scope to add value while retaining the home’s period character and generous outdoor plot.
