luxury real estate for sale Thatcham, United Kingdom

Rising from more than two acres of beautifully landscaped gardens on the edge of one of Berkshire's most sought-after villages, The Old Rectory is an exceptional Victorian country house, sensitively restored and reimagined for modern family life. Designed by the renowned Gothic Revival architect George Edmund Street and occupying an enviable position with far-reaching views across open countryside, this remarkable residence combines architectural grandeur with a level of comfort and craftsmanship rarely encountered. Built between 1874 and 1875, the house is a striking example of Gothic Revival architecture, distinguished by its steeply pitched rooflines, stone mullioned windows and handsome red-brick elevations. Acquired by the current owners in 2019, it has since undergone an extensive back-to-brick renovation, including a complete overhaul of the mechanical systems, the installation of underfloor heating throughout, and a comprehensive redesign of the interiors. Every element has been approached with extraordinary care, preserving the building's historic character while introducing a refined contemporary sensibility. Extending to over 7,500 sq ft, the principal house unfolds across two main floors and a cellar level. At its centre is a dramatic reception hall, where original architectural details have been carefully restored and complemented by richly layered interiors. The principal reception rooms enjoy impressive proportions and a wonderful sense of light, with deep bay windows framing views of the gardens. A drawing room and snug provide elegant spaces for entertaining and quieter moments alike, while the dining room is ideally positioned for larger gatherings. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed as the heart of the home. Double-height ceilings and tall Gothic-style windows flood the space with natural light, while bespoke cabinetry and striking stone surfaces create a room that is both practical and visually compelling. Adjoining pantry, utility and boot room spaces ensure the house functions effortlessly on a day-to-day basis. The first floor provides seven generously proportioned bedrooms and five bathrooms. The principal suite occupies a particularly impressive position within the house, enjoying a beautiful bay window overlooking the gardens, alongside a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. Throughout the accommodation, original architectural features, tall ceilings and leafy outlooks reinforce the house's connection to its surroundings. Outside, the grounds have been transformed with the guidance of Marcus Barnett Studio, the Chelsea Gold Medal-winning landscape practice. Formal gardens unfold around the house, with structured planting, mature trees and beautifully designed terraces creating a sequence of outdoor rooms. Beyond are a productive vegetable garden, a tennis court and a swimming pool with accompanying pool house. More than one hundred mature trees are scattered throughout the grounds, including several specimens believed to be over two centuries old

Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully improved, Mo’s Nest, sits just seconds from rolling countryside and mere moments from Overton High Street and the mainline rail station. Professional interior design and impressive attention to detail have combined to create an extremely attractive, welcoming, and livable home that boasts large living spaces and even a media or games room. Light plays an important role in the way you can imagine living in this family-sized house. Huge windows command cinematic views downhill and up into the skies. The internal dining area opens onto a large covered terrace via floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors - a truly enviable spot for your morning coffee. Glazed double doors from the two rear bedrooms lead directly onto the wraparound rear patios and soak in the views over celebrity-owned paddocks. A distinctive contemporary home on a quiet road close to all that Overton has to offer. Originally completed in 2000 to a high standard, this bespoke Scandinavian-inspired building has been entirely reimagined by the original family owners to meet the highest standards of modern living. Every care has been taken to make the most of the space and to create a flow that enhances both style and liveability. Glass walls, doors, and balustrades create an airy openness in an already very well-proportioned property. Sitting proudly on the curve of the road, Mo’s Nest stands out from the crowd in many enviable ways. A wonderful family home or an impressive property for entertaining? Both. The main porch-covered entrance, at the side of the property, opens onto a generous hallway and landing space that sweeps around to provide access to the first three bedrooms, family bathroom, and utility, then on into the living space; continuous light and feel, yet separated by glass panels and a glass door. The open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area will doubtless become the heart of this home, and it also boasts a large balcony area. This large and versatile space offers numerous layout possibilities for families or those working from home. The entirely new, quartz top kitchen includes larder cupboards, Neff appliances, and considered lighting solutions, as well as space for bar stools. Downstairs and the extra space you’ve always wanted… The wooden and glass staircase, with in-built bookshelves, leads to another large space which is currently configured as a reading area. Alongside the fourth bedroom and separate bathroom is a room of indulgence - perhaps a full cinema room, pool or games room, or hobby space. The hallway also leads into the garage and plant room. The Bedrooms Upstairs, the two largest bedrooms both contain fully lit, built-in floor-to-ceiling storage solutions. Both enjoy light from two sides. The principal bedroom is ensuite. Downstairs, the fourth bedroom also enjoys large built-in storage and a good-sized horizontal window. All the bedrooms are newly carpeted and extremely peaceful spaces. The smaller can comfortably fit two single beds or a double. Bathrooms All three bathrooms are luxuriously tiled and include Scandinavian-style walk-in wood-effect showers. The family bathroom also enjoys a beautiful freestanding roll-top bath. Clever little details and uses of space have resulted in feelings of warmth, style and comfort. Gardens & Surrounds The large driveway and double garage provide ample parking, and the main entrance benefits from stepless access. A combination of mature and newly planted trees and shrubs line entrances and will provide further privacy. Patios wrap around the side and rear and onto an enlarged dining area overlooking broad, separated paddocks. The garden is very private, yet open, and has been tastefully planted. Year-round comfort and environmentally friendly features throughout. No matter the weather outside, Mo’s Nest has been designed for a life of comfort. The long list of features includes wet underfloor heating, passive air vents between rooms, air-conditioning, and water softening. There is also a biofuel fireplace and a mains gas connection behind.

The Old Post House, Preston Candover Thoughtfully renovated and sensitively improved over recent years, The Old Post House occupies a cherished position at the very heart of Preston Candover - one of the Test Valley's most sought-after villages. Rolling Hampshire hills lie moments from the door, while a village of genuine and thriving community life surrounds it, and London remains effortlessly within reach. What sets this property apart from so many homes of comparable age and character is its remarkable sense of flow. Far from the warren of low-ceilinged rooms that period properties so often present, The Old Post House moves with ease from space to space - a quality greatly enhanced by the addition of a handsome new oak-framed orangery, which floods the heart of the home with natural light and opens an entirely new dimension of day-to-day living. Private and peaceful from every vantage point, yet superbly connected to the life of the village, this is a home of genuine distinction - one that rewards both quiet contemplation and generous entertaining in equal measure. Character & Provenance Three buildings, one remarkable home. The Old Post House has its origins in three separate buildings of varying ages, each of which has been woven together over the generations into a single, cohesive residence of 2,321 sq ft. Lived in, worked in, and deeply loved across many chapters of village life, the property carries its history lightly - confidently rather than apologetically. Evidence of that past is everywhere, and all the better for it. Sections of original wattle and daub walling have been carefully preserved and put on display; ancient beams speak quietly of former uses; and the building's long and proud life as the village post office is woven into its very decoration. Against this, the present reveals itself just as clearly: a beautifully appointed kitchen completed in 2024, double glazing throughout, and a new boiler installed in 2025. Whether one chooses to lean into the property's irresistible country cottage character or to introduce a more contemporary aesthetic, both would suit this building with equal ease. Multigenerational Living & Flexible Arrangements The retention of two original staircases lends The Old Post House a natural and largely self-contained duality - a split way of living that is ideally suited to multigenerational households or those seeking dedicated space for home working. The upper floors are connected by a hallway but could readily be made more entirely independent. There are, in effect, two front doors. On the ground floor, several generously proportioned reception rooms offer further scope - whether as shared family space, separate home offices, or studio accommodation. This is, after all, a building that has housed more than one business simultaneously within living memory. Setting Privacy at the heart of village life The L-shaped footprint of The Old Post House - wrapping around its courtyard and gardens - creates an enviable sense of enclosure and privacy. Every outlook faces inward, onto garden, terrace, or sky, and yet beyond the front gates, the village unfolds with ease. A short stroll in one direction leads to the community-owned Candover Valley Store - a much-loved local institution that also serves as the village's post office - alongside the Village Hall, recreation ground, and a thriving tennis club. In the other, barely a minute's walk away, stands The Candover: a newly opened pub with rooms of impressive style and ambition, owned and run by three local residents. It is a venture that feels destined to put Preston Candover firmly on the map as a destination in its own right. Accommodation - Ground Floor Generous, purposeful, and wonderfully cohesive The ground floor of The Old Post House offers a rare sense of warmth and intention. Kitchen, orangery, drawing room, study, dining room, breakfast room, utility room, and cloakroom flow together as a cohesive whole - each space with its own character and purpose, yet unified by a sense of easy, comfortable living. The kitchen - approximately two years old, finished to an excellent standard and complete with integrated appliances and a useful larder - opens naturally into the breakfast room and on further to the dining room and new orangery, extending the heart of the home into a bright and sociable space of real quality. The dining room features a wood-burning stove, while the breakfast room conceals a particularly well-placed secret cupboard - perfectly proportioned for a wine collection. Accommodation - First Floor Four doubles, three bathrooms, and a principal suite of distinction The first floor provides four generously sized double bedrooms, each enjoying excellent natural light and pleasing views over the gardens and surrounding village. Three bathrooms serve the floor, of which two are en suite. The principal suite is, quite simply, the star of the show. Exposed beams lend it an atmosphere of real warmth and age, while the en-suite bathroom - finished in stone, with a freestanding feature bathtub as its centrepiece - offers a level of luxury one might more readily associate with a fine boutique hotel. Storage is excellent throughout the upper floor. Outside Gardens, courtyards, and outdoor living spaces Arriving through the wooden vehicle gate, a gravelled driveway provides parking for three or more cars alongside a practical garage - currently in use as a workshop and motorcycle store - and several further enclosed storage units. The raised lawn garden is a particular delight: edged by mature, considered planting and presided over by an ancient yew of real presence. Tucked within its canopy sits an impressive treehouse, complete with climbing and swinging apparatus - a space that will prove irresistible to younger members of the household for years to come. A wonderfully private decked terrace offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxed summer evenings. Descending closer to the house, the courtyard-level terrace - fitted with built-in seating and a substantial jacuzzi, included within the sale - completes an outdoor offering that is as versatile and considered as the home itself.

Seller Insight: What is your favourite room of the house and why? The dining room has always been our favourite space. It feels wonderfully elegant and light, with dual aspect sash windows, high ceilings and beautiful original details including period shutters, wide floorboards and the fireplace. It's a room that lends itself perfectly to entertaining, from relaxed family meals to hosting friends, and has a real sense of occasion without ever feeling formal. Sitting at the table overlooking the canal and the original wharf crane is very special — it's a view that never gets old. Who do you think would be the next ideal owner? A family would absolutely thrive here. It's a very safe, welcoming setting with plenty of space to explore both inside and out, and there's a genuine sense of community on the wharf. Our daughter has grown up surrounded by friends and is genuinely heartbroken to be leaving — from Easter egg hunts and impromptu cricket matches to summer barbecues and time spent on the canal paddleboarding and rowing, it's been an idyllic place for her to grow up. What do you love most about the house and why? The combination of character, light and setting. The original period features have been beautifully preserved, the rooms are generously proportioned, and the large sash windows flood the house with natural light. The location is exceptional — with the canal at the front, open fields behind and Savernake Forest literally on the doorstep, it feels wonderfully connected to nature while still being incredibly well placed for day-to-day life. What do you love about the local community? There's a real sense of balance here between countryside living and community life. The surrounding area is perfect for walking, running and exploring, while Marlborough — just four miles away — offers a vibrant market town atmosphere with independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Our daughter attends Bedwyn Primary School, only ten minutes away, which has an Outstanding OFSTED rating and a lovely, nurturing feel. The wharf community itself is something very special, with children ranging from toddlers to young adults who have grown up together. How easy is it to commute from here? Commuting is very straightforward. Bedwyn and Pewsey stations are both around a ten-minute drive away, with free parking at Bedwyn, and offer direct trains to London Paddington in around an hour. Road links are also excellent, with the M4 easily accessible in around 15/20 minutes. What made you choose this property over others that were available at the time? It was the combination of space, period features and location that immediately set it apart. The size and layout worked perfectly for family life, the architectural character was exceptional and rare for the area, and the practicalities — including an easy London commute and proximity to Marlborough — made it an ideal long-term home.
