Why this property will seduce you

  • Prime Location: Walk to town, hillside views.
  • Arts and Crafts Architecture: Original Thomas Rayson design.
  • Private Estate: 1.25 acre grounds, tennis court, indoor pool.
A beautiful 1920s Arts and Crafts family home in a fabulous location, a gentle stroll from the centre of Pangbourne. Surrounded by private gardens and grounds of 1.25 acres, with 5 bedrooms, a hard tennis court and a heated indoor swimming pool complex. And it’s unlisted! Scythe House is an exceptional family home, built in the 1920s in the late Arts and Crafts manner, that brims with original character and charm. Today it’s surrounded by beautifully planted gardens of 1.25 acres, with a hard tennis court and a heated indoor swimming pool, all of which are screened by high, mature hedges and trees. The house enjoys a southerly aspect with views across to the Sulham Hills. A near-perfect and original example of late Arts and Crafts design, Scythe House was designed by the respected architect Thomas Rayson. Constructed in 1926 it’s a beautiful example of a simpler, more organic aesthetic combined with modern building innovations, such as cavity walls – which are what make it so well insulated today. The house stays wonderfully cool in summer and warm in winter. From Green Lane, elegant iron gates lead you down a long curving drive, approximately 100 meters long – the house isn’t visible from the road. It’s worth noting this is one of the few remaining large plots in this highly sought-after area. On arrival at the house, the driveway opens to provide ample parking for numerous cars, in addition to the parking provided by the two double garages. The barley-twist brick pillars of the porch welcome you, in true Arts and Crafts style, to this exceptional home. Inside, you have five bedrooms, six bathrooms, four reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a butler’s pantry and a swimming pool complex with gym space.
