Set on a very large corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac on Newbury’s south side, this spacious four-bedroom detached home suits growing families who need flexible living space and outdoor room to spare. The ground floor offers generous reception rooms, an orangery with underfloor heating and a self-contained annex-style wing ideal for guests, multi-generational living or home office use. Elevated views across Newbury and easy access to St John’s and St Bartholomew’s school catchments add local appeal.
Practical strengths include a large double garage with inspection pit, wide driveway parking and well-maintained gardens with patios for outdoor entertaining. The property’s size (about 2,447 sq ft) and multiple storeys provide scope for reconfiguration if you want to adapt rooms or create more annex accommodation. Heating is via an air-source heat pump with radiators and the house benefits from double glazing.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context: council tax banding is described as expensive, and the area records higher-than-average crime figures, which may concern some families. The house dates from the mid-20th century (1950s–60s) and, while presented well, prospective buyers should check service histories for the air-source system, glazing and electrics when surveying.
Well placed for Newbury town centre and the mainline station (regular direct trains to London), this home will appeal to families prioritising schools, space and a large garden, but it’s important to factor in local crime statistics and ongoing costs when considering purchase.
