No chain! Brook House is an idyllic, one of a kind home where no detail has been overlooked and no expense has been spared. The property showcases over 5,000 sq ft of luxurious accommodation, situated on a gated 1.1 acre plot amidst the peaceful Lancashire countryside. Despite its tranquil countryside setting, it's a well-connected location, with the national motorway network accessible in only 5 to 10 minutes, and plentiful amenities within a short drive. There are many aspects which make this property one of a kind. The smart-home and eco-home technology. The opulent interior design crafted with the finest materials. The tasteful blend of contemporary and character styling. The generous landscaped grounds with natural garden lake and rockface. The babbling brook flowing by the easterly boundary. The list goes on! Accommodation Summary - A summary of the ground floor includes a grand entrance hall with porch, principal lounge with home cinema capability, family room, dining area, a fully integrated Siematic kitchen with island and bar, utility, study, boot room, downstairs WC, and two handy storage rooms/closets (one off the dining area, and one off the boot room). The first floor features a gallery landing with vaulted ceiling, three double en-suite bedrooms, a master suite with private dressing area/boudoir, walk-in wardrobe, and mezzanine master bathroom, plus a balcony spanning the full width of the house with lovely green views. There is a substantial converted basement consisting of two rooms - a plant/comms room, and a versatile room which would be perfect for use as a wine cellar. Separate from the main house is an additional building consisting of a detached double garage and a large home gym with terrace overlooking the natural garden lake, which holds excellent potential for a variety of uses. Outstanding Design - Formerly a public house dating back to the early 1800s, this property has undergone significant redevelopment and been transformed into a signature residential property with outstanding design, both inside and out, where interiors have been masterfully crafted by the award-winning interior design and architectural studio 'Design by Uber'. From the polished marble bathrooms and crystal-effect stone feature walls, the stone and oak flooring, to the designer chandeliers and grand vaulted ceilings, every detail contributes to creating a true wow-factor. The house has also been designed with practicality in mind, benefitting from a floor plan that flows perfectly for both everyday life and when entertaining family and friends, while taking full advantage of the landscaped grounds through an abundance of glass. Additionally, there are plenty of smart-home features that give convenience for daily life, such as underfloor heating throughout with independent control for every room, an integrated indoor and outdoor sound system, mood lighting, remote controlled black-out curtains and blinds, and a comprehensive security system with CCTV and intercom for the electric gates. Well prepared for the ongoing transition to green energy, and having the advantage of long-term energy savings, the heating system is powered by two air-source heat pumps, with a heat recovery system which optimises the efficiency of the pumps. The Approach - On the country lane, a tall hedgerow adjoins a stone wall and two stone pillars set beside the electric gates, creating a beautiful entrance and a great sense of privacy. Beyond the gates a large drive bordered by manicured lawns sits in front of the house, providing lots of space for parking, and continues further to the detached double garage on the left. An Abundance Of Living Space - There are two entrances to the property at the front, one being the main front door, which is ideal for guests, leading through a traditional porch and into the grand entrance hall, and the other being a more practical, daily entrance to the meet the demands of modern family life, leading through the boot room, past the downstairs WC, and into the kitchen. The principal lounge is super generous in size, spanning the full depth of the property. It's no surprise it is presented to impeccable standards, with a hidden home cinema system including integrated ceiling speakers, and an Epson projector and Sapphire screen that descend from the ceiling. Draw the black-out curtains with a touch of a button on the remote, and you have the complete big screen experience from the comfort of your own home. As well as the home cinema, a set of bifold doors makes the most of the views to the garden, and the chimney breast is home to a log burner and wall-mounted TV point. The heart of the home is arguably the top of the range Siematic kitchen, grounded by a smart limestone floor. A substantial island with Corian worktop and oak breakfast bar allows the room to be a superb social space, and the comprehensive range of high quality appliances are housed within contemporary two-tone cabinetry. Integrated cooking appliances include a Miele oven, steam oven, combination microwave, and two warming drawers, plus a Siemens induction hob and downdraft extractor. There's also a full length fridge and freezer, Miele wine cooler, Siemens dishwasher, and Caple sink with Quooker tap. Off the kitchen the spacious Siematic utility room ensures you can keep the kitchen tidy and clutter-free with additional storage cupboards and worktop space, an extra Caple sink, and plenty of room to do the laundry with plumbing for the washer/dryer. Adjacent to here is also a study with a window to the front, which would alternatively be well suited for use as a play room for the little ones. On the other side of the kitchen, a few steps lead down to the family room, where a vast set of floor to ceiling windows and bifold doors frame expansive views of the lush green grounds and garden lake while providing access to the rear garden terrace and circular walled patio - a perfect setup for garden parties and enjoying the summer weather. The oak floor in this room gives a nod to the cottage character, and the stylish fire set within a media wall adds to the modern design. Due to its great size and convenient position next to the kitchen, it's a versatile room with sufficient space for both a lounge area and an informal dining/breakfast area. In addition to the principal lounge and family room, there are two further reception rooms... The grand entrance hall is large enough to be another sitting area, with a log burner that's sure to give a warming glow on cold, wintery days. With an open aspect to the entrance hall, the dining room is another delightful space for dinner parties and entertaining, with more bifold doors that 'bring the outside in' and allow you to appreciate the landscaped grounds year-round. A notable aspect of the interior design in this part of the property is the glass floor that displays the wine cellar below. Bedrooms & Bathrooms - Ascending from the centre of the home between the kitchen and dining room is a bespoke walnut staircase with glass balustrades, handcrafted leather handrail, and a stunning crystal-effect tiled stone feature wall that rises high into the vaulted ceiling. The feature wall is illuminated by subtle uplights set within the floor that complement the 2.3m Italian-crystal chandelier hanging beautifully within the stairwell. From the gallery landing, the end of the corridor opens into the imposing master suite with another vaulted ceiling and designer chandelier that add to the grandeur. Within the bedroom, a set of bifold doors pour natural light into the room and lead to the balcony spanning the width of the property at the rear. A partition wall with designer wallpaper separates the super-king bed from a private dressing area, similar to that of boudoirs found in premium suites of the best hotels, fitted with high quality cabinetry, a dressing table and mirror with inset lighting. The opulence continues in the large walk-in wardrobe featuring elegant, mirrored wardrobes, drawers, an island and shelving. Above here is a fabulous mezzanine master bathroom which is fully tiled with white marble and comprises a four-piece suite, including a tiled-in steam shower with marble seating, bath with marble surrounds, WC, and vanity basin with storage. Each of the three further bedrooms have their own en-suites and are well-proportioned for family life, benefitting from being good sized doubles so the whole family can enjoy oodles of space. The professional interior design is evident in the en-suites too, with polished marble tiling to the floor and walls, and substantial walk-in showers with glass facades. The second bedroom also benefits from bifold doors opening onto the rear balcony, and the third bedroom features a walk-through dressing passage with bronze-tinted, mirrored fitted wardrobes. Outbuildings & Outside Space - An advantage of this already spectacular home is the versatile two-storey outbuilding, composed of the double garage with electric door which is accessed from the driveway, and below is a huge room that's currently configured as a fully equipped gym. The gym is incredibly private despite its wealth of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the natural garden lake, and glass doors open onto a lakeside terrace with swim spa and hot tub (available by separate negotiation). If not used as a gym, this versatile space could suit a variety of uses, subject to regulations. A games room with snooker table and bar? Self-contained annex accommodation for family? Or perhaps separated as an Airbnb for extra income? The choice is yours! Hidden behind this outbuilding is a large log store. As well as the waterfall flowing into the garden lake, a trickling brook flows down the side of the boundary, providing a calming countryside sound to be enjoyed while you're relaxing outside on warm summer days. Beyond the terrace and circular walled patio outside the family room, the grounds continue far beyond the water over a grassy area bordered by woodland, to a fenced children's play area at the bottom of the garden. It's fair to say this property has it all. Countryside Convenience - Situated on a country lane between several villages in south-west Lancashire, Brook House brings with it the opportunity to enjoy the peace and quiet of countryside living while being well connected for transport links, schools and amenities. Junction 27 of the M6 is accessible in only 5 to 10 minutes, making it an ideal location for those who regularly commute but prefer a more rural lifestyle, while adding to its overall accessibility for everyone. By rail, Buckshaw Parkway and Chorley stations are within a 15 to 20 minute drive, and the smaller but closer station of Parbold is just 10 minutes away, all of which give easy access to the nearby cities of Manchester, Preston, and Liverpool. You can also be in London within 3 hours of leaving the house! Owing to its location between several villages, there's a wide selection of amenities within a short drive too, including country pubs and restaurants, health clubs and spas, mini supermarkets, convenience stores, independent shops and farm shops, as well as a variety of good primary and secondary schools. Specifics & Services - The tax band is G. The tenure is freehold. The smart-home automation brand is Control4. The water and drainage are connected mains.

A quite exceptional detached family home sitting on a plot of approximately one third of an acre in one of south Leicester's most celebrated residential addresses. Set within the Stoneygate Conservation Area, described by Leicester City Council as the city's best surviving Victorian suburb, this outstanding property blends the grandeur of original period features with a superbly designed contemporary extension and a gloriously private, south facing garden complete with heated swimming pool and hot tub. Rarely does a family home of this scale, character and position come to the market. GROUND FLOOR You enter this wonderful home into what is simply a stunning entrance hall. Expansive in scale, it immediately announces the quality and character of the house, with glorious Parquet flooring laid in a traditional herringbone pattern running underfoot, a beautiful open tread staircase rising elegantly ahead and a striking contemporary pendant light overhead. Doors open in multiple directions giving a wonderful sense of space and flow, and a generous landing window with original leaded glazing floods the stairwell with natural light. This is the kind of entrance hall that buyers remember long after they have left. Off the hall flows a useful study, a comfortable family room and a striking sitting room with open fireplace. The formal dining room is a superb entertaining space at over twenty feet in length, comfortably accommodating a large table and benefiting from excellent natural light. From the dining room extends the heart of this home, a spectacular recently constructed kitchen and living extension that is simply breathtaking. Fully fitted in a handsome grey shaker style with stone worktops and a substantial central island, the kitchen is everything a family could ask for. A large rooflight brings daylight flooding in from above, underfloor heating runs throughout, and a full width of bifold doors and floor to ceiling corner glazing blur the boundary between inside and out, with the south facing garden stretching away beyond. This is a space in which you will live every single day. The ground floor is completed by a useful office and utility room, a separate boot room with garage type storage, and a cloakroom with WC. An underground storage room accessed from the kitchen adds a wonderful final flourish.

LOCATION Ashfield Road sits within Stoneygate, widely regarded as Leicester's finest residential suburb and one of the East Midlands' most sought after addresses. Designated a Conservation Area in 1978 and covering some 93 hectares of broad, tree lined avenues, Stoneygate is characterised by its grand Victorian and Edwardian family homes, its strong sense of community and its remarkable convenience. Close enough to the city to enjoy everything it offers, whilst retaining an enviably peaceful, village like atmosphere. Day to day life in Stoneygate is exceptionally well served. Allandale Road and Francis Street, both a short stroll from the property, offer an eclectic and much loved collection of independent boutiques, jewellery and homeware shops, beauty studios and a superb selection of independent cafes, bistros and restaurants.

De Montfort Hall, Leicester city centre and the local hospitals are all accessible within minutes. For green space, the area is particularly well blessed.

The attached double garage, complete with remote-controlled electric doors, provides secure parking and additional storage space. A bespoke Neville Johnson staircase rises elegantly to a striking galleried mezzanine landing, creating one of the home's most impressive architectural features. The first floor continues to impress, offering four generous bedrooms, each benefitting from fitted wardrobes. The principal suite has been thoughtfully designed to create a luxurious private retreat. A bespoke media wall and feature fireplace provide a sophisticated focal point, whilst the modern en-suite bathroom offers contemporary styling and comfort. The family bathroom is equally impressive and incorporates a jacuzzi bath alongside a sauna shower unit, creating a spa-like environment for everyday relaxation. One of Runge Farm's most remarkable qualities is the way it extends family life beyond the walls of the house. The south-facing orientation ensures sunlight can be enjoyed throughout the day, whilst extensive Indian stone terraces provide exceptional spaces for entertaining, dining and relaxing outdoors. Whether hosting summer garden parties, family celebrations or quiet evenings overlooking the countryside, the outdoor spaces have been designed to be enjoyed throughout the year. Extending to approximately 1.5 acres, the gardens represent years of careful planning, investment and passionate stewardship. Beautifully landscaped lawns flow effortlessly between different areas of the grounds, creating a series of interconnected outdoor rooms. Every aspect of the gardens has been thoughtfully curated to create visual interest, practical usability and year-round enjoyment. The result is a setting that feels both grand and intimate, formal and family-friendly. The lawns themselves are exceptional. Immaculately maintained and wonderfully established, they provide a picture-perfect backdrop to the home whilst creating extensive space for recreation and relaxation. The lifestyle offering at Runge Farm is truly outstanding. A luxurious swim spa provides a dedicated wellness and relaxation space, complete with automated cover for ease of use and year-round enjoyment. The substantial outdoor gazebo has been designed as a genuine extension of the living accommodation. Featuring retractable walls, integrated lighting and ceiling-mounted heaters, it offers a versatile entertaining environment whatever the season. Whether enjoying summer barbecues, winter gatherings or simply relaxing with family and friends, this space has been designed to maximise enjoyment of the surrounding gardens. An oversized log store complements the outdoor lifestyle perfectly, providing ample storage for firewood for both the home's log burners and outdoor entertaining areas. The magnificent koi pond creates one of the estate's most memorable focal points. Designed and maintained to an exceptional standard, it benefits from its own dedicated plant room and professional-grade filtration systems. The result is a feature that combines tranquillity, movement and natural beauty whilst reflecting the extraordinary attention to detail evident throughout the property. For families, the bespoke adventure playground is simply extraordinary. Constructed using premium materials and designed with safety at its core, the installation includes a zip wire, climbing wall, slides and numerous additional features. It is a space where imaginations can flourish, adventures can unfold and memories can be created for years to come. Runge Farm not only offers an exceptional home today, but exciting possibilities for tomorrow. The former garage and stable block has already been planned for reconstruction as additional garaging and storage accommodation should future owners wish to proceed. Furthermore, the extensive grounds may offer scope for further development, subject to any necessary planning permissions. Potential opportunities could include a leisure suite, home office complex, garden rooms, workshops, studio space, additional garaging or ancillary outbuildings. The flexibility afforded by the site ensures the property can continue to evolve alongside its future owners' aspirations. The property's elevated setting places some of Greater Manchester's most beautiful countryside right on the doorstep. Brushes Clough Conservation Area is within easy reach and offers scenic walking routes around the historic reservoir, dramatic waterfalls and extensive moorland trails. The sought-after villages of Saddleworth are just a short drive away, renowned for their independent shops, excellent restaurants, traditional pubs and vibrant community atmosphere. For commuters, motorway access can be reached within approximately ten minutes, whilst the nearby Metrolink network provides convenient connections to Manchester city centre and surrounding towns. The result is a location that perfectly balances rural tranquillity with everyday convenience. Runge Farm is more than a period farmhouse. It is a private country estate, an entertainer's dream, a family sanctuary and a home designed for making memories. Every improvement undertaken by the current owners has been completed with care, vision and attention to detail. The result is a property where character and luxury coexist beautifully, and where indoor and outdoor living are given equal importance.

What the owners say: Although the setting offers complete peace and rural tranquillity, its convenience is exceptional. Canterbury’s vibrant city centre is just a five‑minute drive away, while Sturry station, with high‑speed services to London, is only a minute’s stroll from the front door. It is the rare combination of countryside calm and effortless connectivity that has made living here such a pleasure. We have truly loved our time in this home, carefully refurbishing it over recent years so that the next owners can simply step inside, put the kettle on, and relax. One of the most significant upgrades was the installation of a new Norfolk reed thatched roof just five years ago, a beautiful, traditional feature with a lifespan of more than half a century. The annexe has been an outstanding asset. It has allowed family and friends to stay in comfort and privacy, while also providing a valuable source of income through holiday lets and long‑term tenants. Fordwich itself is a delight, officially the smallest town in England, complete with its own historic town hall. The town is rich in character, with charming period buildings and the River Stour meandering through its centre. Two exceptional pubs, the Michelin‑starred Fordwich Arms and the George & Dragon, are both within an easy walk, perfect for evenings when you prefer to dine out without driving. Just a short walk away in neighbouring Sturry, you’ll find a Co‑op, pharmacy, post office, hairdresser, and highly regarded schools, including the King’s School Junior and Sturry Primary, rated Outstanding by Ofsted. A nearby bus stop and main road offer direct routes into Canterbury and onward to the Thanet towns. For lovers of the outdoors, the area is a haven. There are beautiful walks for dog owners, peaceful spots for fishing along the river, and the nearby Westbere Lakes, which offer opportunities for sailing as well as angling.

A rare chance to live in your own wing of a period country house. Covering 3,000 sq ft and encompassing 3 storeys, a stunning 28’ panelled drawing room, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen/conservatory and private gardens designed by a Chelsea medallist, this is modern living in timeless elegance. Situation On the outskirts of Newbury, just off the A34, is a private drive leading to Deanwood House. Next door is Deanwood Park Golf Course, a few moments further along the road is the acclaimed 5-star Vineyard Hotel, Spa and Restaurant currently being refurbished but reopening later this year. Property Deanwood House dates back to the early 1900s, making it a late Victorian/early Edwardian house rich in period features. Unlike other grand properties that are often divided into apartments, 8 Deanwood House occupies an entire wing and three floors of this country house, ensuring it always feels like a house. This is a substantial 3,000 sq ft home, with a third-of-an-acre garden designed by a Chelsea medal winner. “It’s one big house that was divided into eight dwellings c. 1978. We shut our front doors and it’s just like living anywhere else. There is nothing communal here, apart from the car park.” You reach the house via a long curving driveway. Once parked, you approach the front door through the courtyard. “It's like being in a mews, having neighbours close by. It's very safe if you travel a lot, as we do. You can shut your door and not have to worry about security. Hallway From the moment you enter, you’re unmistakably in a grand house with high ceilings and period features in abundance. The charming entrance lobby sets the tone with a decorative black and white tiled floor, ornate fireplace, panelled walls, mouldings and cornicing, and an impressive near double-height moulded ceiling. From here you have access to the drawing room, the kitchen/conservatory, downstairs cloakroom and stairs to the upper floors. Kitchen The kitchen is a stylish juxtaposition of period features and contemporary living. Thoughtfully updated, it combines the age-warmed tones of the original wooden cupboards and fireplace along one wall with the cool marble island and work surfaces and bespoke painted cabinetry along the other. The vast central island has a marble waterfall worktop, creating a spacious breakfast bar for four. Within the island there’s a recessed double bowl sink with fluted draining grooves on both sides, the oven and microwave are below, with integrated warming drawer, and dishwasher. Behind the integrated, induction hob is an extractor fan. Upstands are marble. Below the hob are deep pan drawers. The hob area is bookended by a pantry to the left and an American-style double fridge freezer and a tall pull out larder cupboard to the right. Storage is plentiful, within the original wooden cabinets surrounding the fireplace and, across the kitchen, in the bespoke painted units. Bevelled-edge mirrors subtly unite new and old, maximising light and adding interest. Lighting is from a trio of stylish cluster chandeliers that accentuate the ceiling height. CONSERVATORY The striking oak-framed conservatory is a seamless extension to the kitchen, and one of the most used and loved rooms in this incredible home. It leads on to a terrace with steps down to the garden, this is the perfect spot for your morning coffee, for enjoying a casual lunch or special supper, and for a relaxing sundowner at the end of the day. “Sitting in the kitchen and the conservatory, I can't see another house. All I see is my garden and then the golf course, and trees, and trees, and trees, and trees.” Natural limestone flooring blends with the terrace beyond. The high vaulted glass ceiling fills the room with natural light, complemented by the cluster chandelier for when the sun fades, and tall radiator for when the days become cooler. As in the hallway, this room also has underfloor heating. “We like to have our morning coffee out on the terrace from the kitchen, which gets the sun safe from May to October.” Drawing room Formerly the billiards room of the original house, this striking room with its wooden floor is simultaneously grand and welcoming. The painted wooden panelling draws your eye up to the high ceiling. A gloriously wide arch frames the full-height bay window, creating the ideal setting for a dining table. “The house is ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is big, as is the drawing room – we've easily had 20 for dinner in there.” The fireplace alcove, with its low curved ceiling, creates a cosy area around the huge fireplace. Above, the ornate mantle panelling is inset with bevel-edged mirrors for added light and interest. “While the drawing room is enormous, it's lovely in the wintertime with the fire going – it’s when we use it most.” A high-level leaded glass window adds interest and light. There’s even a ‘hidden’ door in the panelling, now a small cupboard. The neutral colour scheme and curtains allow you to add pops of colour and feature pieces of furniture with ease. This is a delightful room from morning to evening. Cloakroom Tucked away behind wooden double doors, is the cloakroom, making clever use of the under-stairs space. This rather glamorous WC, with its Fornassetti wallpaper, is proof that no room is too small for some designer flair. UPSTAIRS – FIRST FLOOR A generous first-floor landing continues the feeling of calm and space, and provides plenty of space for a quiet reading nook or home office. From here you have access to the principal and second bedrooms, with stairs taking you up to the next floor. Principal bedroom Entered via the dressing room, this spacious and elegant bedroom suite has a deeply private feel. The vast bedroom has the same wide bay window as the drawing room below, giving wide views of the garden and golf course beyond. An ornamental Victorian fireplace with over-mantel mirror adds a feature to one end of the room, and would make a lovely backdrop to a chaise longue or boudoir chair. The pretty wallpaper is a Thibault Toile De Jouy. This room is spacious enough for a super-king-sized bed with all the accompanying boudoir furniture you could wish for. Or as little – it’s a wonderfully serene space. In addition to the high ceiling and feature fireplace, you have a picture rail, ornate ceiling rose, wood panelling and decorative coving. Dressing room This is a super spacious dressing room. To the right, reclaimed period part-glazed doors front four wide double wardrobes. To the left, bespoke built-in wardrobes line the wall, set back beneath the wide arch. In the centre are multiple chests of drawers, two of which have padded tops to create ottoman seating. There is plumbing for a washing machine in one of the cupboards with shelving above. Ensuite This leads off from the dressing room and has plenty of natural light A large vanity unit with basin and drawers beneath sits beneath a window, providing plenty of storage. Fixtures and fittings are in an attractive brushed soft gold finish. The bath has a shower over, with thermostatic controls, a handset shower and fixed showerhead. In keeping with the rest of this elegant period home, there’s a picture rail above the painted and tiled walls. Bedroom two Currently used as a TV/sitting room, this would need few changes to become a lovely large double bedroom. The wide window overlooks the picturesque garden and golf course beyond. Period features include a fabulous wide fireplace with decorative surround, a high ceiling with ornate cornicing and ceiling rose, a picture rail and original wood panelled doors – one of which leads to a spacious airing cupboard with shelving and hot water cylinder. A wall of custom-built bookcases and cupboards provides plenty of additional storage. Just outside the room is another closet behind decorative panelled double doors. SECOND FLOOR At the top of the stairs, you have two more bedrooms and a shower room. Bedroom 3 This super-spacious room could be put to all sorts of uses. “Upstairs, my husband has a huge room for his office, but it could also be an upstairs television room, or if someone has children, it would be a wonderful bedroom playroom.” It would make the perfect bedroom with sitting area and kitchenette (which could easily be expanded) making it a teenager’s dream semi-independent living space. It could also provide comfortable living for an au pair or live-in carer or housekeeper. Or it could become a self-sufficient home office, gym or workshop. The options are almost endless. The beams add character, the window and Velux fill the space with natural light, and the T-shape floor plan gives scope for zoning. Bedroom 4 The smallest of the bedrooms, this is still a comfortable double. The window has far-reaching views of the garden and golf course beyond. Shower room Almost fully marble tiled, this elegant shower room has been cleverly designed to make the most of the available space. The large shower enclosure has thermostatic controls, a large rainfall and a hand-held shower head, and a handy recessed shelf. Opposite is a smart vanity unit with hand basin, and underneath drawers, above which is a shelf and mirrored cabinet. The loo is back-to-wall. Lighting is a mix of natural light from the Velux window, and recessed ceiling lights. There is also A wide chromed heated ladder-style towel rail. Outside The approach is down a private driveway, setting the house back from the road. “It's very safe for children and animals. There is a road, but it's so far away, they never go there.” The garden is another outstanding feature of this house, and was designed by Jo Alderson Phillips, a Chelsea medal winner. There is an original antique Italian triple bowl fountain which could be available by separate negotiation. “The gardenis just wonderful, I spend as much time as I can out in there. They’re one of the things that first attracted us to the house, and which I’ll miss the most.” Extending to roughly a third of an acre, the garden includes formal lawns and box edged parterres with lavender and David Austin roses, flowering cherry trees, and a range of seating and relaxing spaces. “We get a lot of wildlife. We have a wonderful selection of birds. We have deer. “ “Sitting in the kitchen and the conservatory, I can't see another house. All I see is my garden and then the golf course, and trees, and trees, and trees, and trees. I love spending time here.” A separate outdoor dining area is located close to the summer house. Mature hornbeam hedging screens a couple of sheds, ensuring practicalities like lawn mowers and bicycles don’t detract from the design of the garden. “The sun rises to the right of the back of the house. We get the early morning sun on the terrace and the garden is in the sun all day long.” In addition to the private garden, you have a plot in the kitchen garden, with plenty of room to grow your own fruit and vegetables, along with a selection of fruit trees. “For somebody who's keen on gardening, the kitchen gardens are a huge bonus. You can basically do what you like, and if you don't want to use it, then you just tell the management company, and they will put it to grass and take over the grass cutting. I planted a quince tree, and we have lots of apple trees.” Parking The house comes with two allocated parking spaces and additional guest parking. Situation Newbury town centre is just two miles away. In the area, you have plenty of scope to satisfy most interests. For dining out, excellent Michelin-listed options include the Vineyard – just a short stroll away and The Woodspeen. For culture, you’ve the iconic and award-winning Watermill Theatre (also a dining location), Arlington Arts, the Corn Exchange and the Living Rainforest. For recreational activities, Newbury town centre has a multi-screen cinema, plentiful shops and businesses. For leisure and pampering, the Vineyard Hotel’s Spa is due to reopen later, while across town you have David Lloyd and Nuffield leisure centres, in addition to numerous gyms. “There's access to the woods from here. My neighbour keeps a couple of horses in the field at the bottom of my garden, and they sometimes ride through the woods.” Newbury Racecourse is just across town. There are several golf courses in and around Newbury, including your neighbour, Deanwood Park, along with Donnington Grove, Donnington Valley and Newbury & Crookham Golf Club. Transport links By car The main arteries of the A4, M4, A34 and the A339 are all close by. From these, you can access London in the east, Bristol and Cornwall in the west, head north to Birmingham or south to the coast. Newbury is a very well-connected town. “That's another good thing about where we are. You've got the M4 the A34. You can get to Oxford, Southampton, London, Bath... We're very much in the centre of everything.” By train/public transport Trains from Newbury station run to Reading, connecting with the Elizabeth line, and to London, Didcot, Heathrow and Gatwick airports. To the west, trains run to Exeter St Davids and Penzance. By bus Your nearest bus stops are just beyond the end of the drive, on the B4000, with buses running to Newbury and Lambourn. By foot You’re just a short stroll to The Vineyard and beyond this into Stockcross, along with some pretty woodland and country walks. “Cycling and walking from here are excellent. You can walk to the Vineyard, across the field opposite the house, there's public footpath the other side of the road, and it's ideal for cycling too with the new cycle path.” Savernake Forest is a short drive away, once the largest privately owned forest in England and home to the Earl of Cardigan.

Magnificent Georgian Rectory. A beautiful period property with grace and space in equal measure which is not listed or within a conservation area – it honestly doesn’t get any better. With at least six, but potentially ten, bedrooms, four reception rooms, four bathrooms, and two kitchens, this glorious home will house everything and everybody. Should you need to travel further afield, however, trains to London and Norwich are just a five-minute drive away with the service to London running every 30 minutes you will be well connected.
