This substantial five-bedroom detached house sits on nearly half an acre on Andover Road, offering over 3,100 sq.ft of flexible family accommodation in a well-established, tree-lined part of Newbury. The layout includes multiple reception rooms, a large conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, utility with a new boiler, an integral double garage and extensive driveway parking — practical for busy family life and entertaining.
The rear garden is private, largely lawned and backed by mature cedar and beech trees, sloping gently westwards to a five-bar gate — a generous outdoor space for children and pets, summer dining and gardening. The house benefits from mains gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and partial solid oak flooring, and is offered complete with onward chain, allowing a quicker move.
Location is a key strength: positioned on the south side of Newbury with convenient access to the town centre and mainline station (direct to London Paddington in under an hour). The property falls within the catchment for Falkland and several independent schools, which will appeal to school-focused buyers.
Practical considerations: council tax is noted as relatively high, and one nearby state secondary (Park House) has an unfavourable Ofsted rating; buyers should check individual school admissions and local tax bands. The plot’s slope and mature planting offer privacy but may affect lawn maintenance and landscaping costs.
