Beau House is a striking contemporary barn-style country home set in a private rural position with far-reaching views and substantial grounds. The Y-shaped layout and very high vaulted ceilings create bright, generous living spaces, while bespoke finishes — oak staircase, marble fireplace and underfloor heating — give a refined, comfortable feel. A detached garage with a self-contained annexe adds multi-generational or guest accommodation. The property runs on a biomass (wood-chip) boiler, supporting lower-carbon heating costs but requiring fuel logistics and maintenance.
Set minutes from Newbury, the house balances solitude with practical connectivity: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, easy road links to the M4/A34 and a direct rail service to London. There are a number of well-regarded state and independent schools nearby, though some local primaries have mixed Ofsted outcomes. The site is freehold, no flood risk, covered by double glazing updated since 2002, and benefits from private drainage and electric gated entry.
This home will suit buyers seeking an executive family residence with space for guests or staff and strong countryside appeal. The size, plot and finishing level present clear lifestyle value; buyers should note the operational needs that come with biomass heating, private drainage and managing a very large property in a rural setting. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the local crime rate is above average — practical factors to weigh alongside the property's seclusion and amenities.
