This chain-free detached house, a characterful conversion of the village’s old school house, sits on a very large plot in Chieveley. The property offers four double bedrooms including a master with ensuite, two reception rooms and a modern kitchen with separate utility — practical space for family life and home working. An enclosed garden, two outbuildings and a double oak barn-style carport plus two driveway spaces provide versatile outdoor and storage options.
The Downs School catchment is a major draw for families; primary schools nearby are rated Good and there are strong transport links via the A34/M4 and Newbury station. Internally you’ll find period features such as arched windows and decorative stone lintels alongside modern comforts including fast broadband and double glazing (install date unknown).
Important practical points: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler with radiators, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house is average-sized at about 1,890 sq ft and constructed as a conversion; buyers should note the mixed-era character and confirm specifics such as glazing age and any maintenance required to outbuildings and garden boundaries.
Overall this home will suit families seeking character, outdoor space and village life with strong schooling nearby. It offers immediate occupancy with no onward chain, but those sensitive to oil heating costs or higher local council tax should factor these running costs into their decision.
