Set on a substantial plot a short stroll from Newtown Common, this spacious five-bedroom detached house offers clear family living and generous entertaining space. The heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with central island and French doors that open directly to the garden; a separate reception room and dual-aspect drawing room provide flexible spaces for study, play and formal entertaining. Practical features include a generous utility/boot room, underfloor heating on the ground floor, an EV charger and heat recovery system for efficient year-round comfort.
The principal suite is designed as a private retreat with a dressing room and ensuite, and there are further double bedrooms including additional ensuites and a second-floor suite suitable for older children or guests. Parking is straightforward with a driveway for 3–4 cars plus a double car port. The location combines immediate access to the Common with fast road links to the A34/A339 and under 40-minute trains to London from Newbury, making it convenient for commuting and family life.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is described as a brand-new home to be completed in 2025, but supplied data also records “constructed before 1900” and lists walls as solid brick “no insulation (assumed)”—this inconsistency should be clarified. Heating details are mixed in the specification: there is an air source heat pump, underfloor heating and heat recovery, yet “main fuel” is listed as oil with a boiler and radiators. The house is nearing completion, so some internal finishes and landscaping remain to be finalised and may be subject to optional upgrades at additional cost.
Overall this is a large, family-focused home in a quiet hamlet setting with excellent outdoor access and strong commuter connections. Its size, layout and plot give scope to personalise finishes and landscaping, but buyers should confirm details about construction, insulation and the final heating arrangement before exchange.
