Seller Insight: What is your favourite room in the house and why? Andy's favourite room is the kitchen as it's a great place to have family time and to entertain friends. We have created the kitchen we always wanted with a larder, breakfast cupboard and the island is the focal point which we all gather round throughout the day. Tina's favourite room is the conservatory. It is a beautiful space to sit and look out at the garden and birds with a cup of tea in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening with candles gently lighting the room. Who do you think will be the ideal new owner? We think the ideal new owners would suit a growing family. We particularly appreciated the security being off road and with the gates allowing children and pets to roam freely. It has the benefit of being in the middle of old town and yet being set back with plenty of parking and with very easy access to the Victorian Town Gardens which we enjoy daily. What do you love most and why about your home? Several things come to mind; the space, the fact that all of the children have their own bedrooms and bathrooms means we have never had a que at the bathroom door! and they have their own privacy even when guests come to stay as well. To be in the heart of Old Town and have as much parking as we do here, is one thing we are really going to miss! Never having to worry about parking when everyone comes home. Being so close to the Town Gardens – we go to the Town Gardens sometimes twice a day! Throughout the year there is so much going on there and the Blossom Trees are to die for ! What do you love about the local community? Our neighbours are just lovely and popping to Town Gardens where you'll know everyone (and everyone knows Obi!) and you get to know the regulars whether you're walking the dog or you're popping for a bacon roll! We have built up a network of friends where the children have all grown up together. Wood Street is fab! Lots of independent restaurants, bars and street parties which are so much fun! How easy is it to commute from here? I used to commute to both Newbury and London on a daily basis which is so easy either on the motorway or mainline station which is walking distance/short cycle from the front door. Our children commute to Reading and Oxford which is also a really easy commute. We are very centralised here in Old Town. What made you choose this property over others? This is a good question! When we moved here we were a multigenerational family and needed a home that would accommodate us all without feeling that we were all on top of eachother. As soon as we approached the house and came through the front gates we just saw all the autumn leaves on the trees and the house was almost perfectly framed by the tree nextdoor – we were sold there and then! Ground Floor: A spacious entrance hall welcomes you into the home, with newly laid herringbone flooring which flows seamlessly throughout a majority of the ground floor. At the heart of the home is the newly refitted kitchen by John Lewis of Hungerford, complete with a built-in larder and breakfast cupboards, alongside high-end integrated appliances.

Seller Insight: Our Favourite Room: The Heart of Our Home Choosing a favourite room is no easy task—each space in our home holds its own special meaning. But if I had to pick, it would undoubtedly be our kitchen. Not just because it's the place where we cook and gather, but because it's so much more than that. This kitchen wasn't just a random selection from a catalogue; it was custom-built, originally designed as a showroom for Smallbone/Mark Wilkinson Furniture in Knightsbridge, London. It's one of a kind, made to fit a circular building and show off the exceptional craftsmanship of the designers. When we stumbled upon it, we knew it was special, and we decided it was worth adapting our home to make it fit. The room became the heart of our home long before the rest of the house was even built around it. We extended the house to accommodate this masterpiece of design. Its beauty is not just in the aesthetics but in how thoughtfully everything has been arranged. The space is practical yet elegant, with an intuitive flow that allows for both quiet moments and lively gatherings. Every detail feels carefully crafted for both style and function. One of the most striking features is the bespoke circular skylight that floods the room with natural light. Whether it's a grey winter morning or a bright summer afternoon, the light is always perfect. It brings an airy, open feeling to the space and makes the kitchen feel like an extension of the outdoors. It's a place where you can't help but feel energized and inspired. Over the years, we've hosted countless dinners, celebrated milestones, and had conversations that stretched late into the night. There's something magical about this room—something that brings people together. The kitchen has a wow factor that never fades, no matter how many times we've been in it. It's more than just a place to prepare meals; it's where we create memories. The Ideal Next Owner: Our home is made for someone who values both tranquillity and connection. It would make a fantastic family home, with ample outdoor space for children to run and play freely. The large garden, complete with raised beds and a beautiful hexagonal greenhouse, provides plenty of opportunity for gardening enthusiasts to indulge in their passion, while the sprawling grounds offer room to roam for everyone. Set in the heart of the countryside, this home offers spectacular views from our back gate of the White Horse, Cherhill Monument, and the rolling downs beyond. Whether it's a crisp winter morning or a golden sunset, the scenery here is always breathtaking. Country walks are right at your doorstep, with footpaths leading to cozy village pubs just a stroll away, all accessible through our gate. It's a place where you can truly unwind, leaving the hustle and bustle of city life behind. For those who appreciate peace and solitude, there are countless hidden pockets to retreat to - whether it's the summerhouse, a quiet corner of the garden, or simply curling up by the window with a view. The area is a sanctuary of calm, offering a pace of life that's hard to find elsewhere. If you love the finer things in life, you'll find them here. From the carefully crafted spaces to the high-quality finishes, this home is a testament to craftsmanship and style. At the same time, if you enjoy being close to the conveniences of town, you're only a short walk away from shops, restaurants, and larger grocery stores. This is a place for someone who wants to enjoy the best of both worlds: the peace of country living, with the convenience of town life just moments away. If you're looking for a home where you can relax, entertain, and create memories for years to come, this could be the perfect place for you. Why We Love Living Here: Our home has been a dream come true. One of the things we love most is how low-maintenance it is—everything is designed with ease of living in mind, which gives us more time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Despite the tranquillity, we're never far from anything we need. It's the best of both worlds—quiet country living with easy access to everything. The walks from our doorstep are something we never take for granted. We can literally step out and walk for miles through the countryside, with views that change with every season. It's the kind of place where you can breathe deeply, take it all in, and feel a sense of peace that's hard to find elsewhere. The house itself flows beautifully. It's all on one level, which creates a seamless feeling of space. When we decided to downsize, we knew it had to be somewhere that truly suited our lifestyle. After visiting friends in this area for many years, we knew we wanted to be here. We'd tried to buy a house at High Penn before, but after a setback with the sale, we thought we'd lost our chance. Looking back, though, it's clear that things happen for a reason. When this place came available, we felt like we'd won the lottery. It truly is the most perfect home for us. There's something magical about the location—there's no through traffic, just a quiet lane leading to our barns. It's incredibly peaceful. We used to stay with friends here to look after their dogs, and in fact, our puppies were born next door. We've always loved the beauty of the sunsets, especially when shared with friends. The way the sky turns red and the stillness of the evening makes it feel like time slows down. This house was designed with care to fit our needs, and it works beautifully for both a family or a couple. The rooms are all generously sized, and they flow together in a way that enhances the overall experience of living here. It's a place that feels open and connected, yet private and intimate at the same time. It's easy to live here, and even easier to fall in love with. What We Love About the Local Community: The local community here is something truly special. It's, without a doubt, the friendliest town my partner has ever lived in. Having moved away a few times, he's always come back, drawn by the warmth and sense of connection that you just can't find anywhere else. The people here are genuine, welcoming, and always ready to lend a hand or share a conversation. What's even more remarkable is how much there is to do, despite the town's small size. There's always something going on, and the events bring everyone together in a way that makes you feel like you're part of something bigger. Though we're not particularly churchy people, we've still come to love some of the quirky family events they host. For instance, the annual Teddy Bear Parachute Jump from the church tower is a favourite—watching teddies float gently to the ground never fails to bring a smile. The Christmas season here is especially magical. There's the fun and festive Santa Run, where parents and kids alike don red suits and run through town together, creating a sight that's both joyful and heartwarming. Then, the light parade brightens up the winter evenings, filling the streets with a sense of community and holiday cheer. In the summer, the town becomes a haven for bikers during the biggest Bike Meet of the year. Motorcyclists from all over flock to the town to show off their bikes, share stories, and celebrate their passion for riding. It's a vibrant, energetic event that draws people from near and far. Throughout the year, the town hosts a variety of food, music, and arts festivals that bring colour and excitement to the streets. Whether it's sampling delicious local food at the market or enjoying live music with friends, there's always something that makes you feel connected to the culture and spirit of the town. We also have a local market each week, where fresh produce, handmade goods, and friendly faces make for a perfect way to spend a morning. It's these little touches—whether it's a community event or just a quick chat with a neighbour—that make living here so special. We truly feel lucky to be part of such a welcoming, lively place. Commuting: Easy Access to Major Cities and Beyond: One of the things we love most about living here is how easy it is to get around. Despite being tucked away in the countryside, we're incredibly well-connected to major cities and transport links. Bath is just a short drive away, and you can catch a train from Chippenham station in just 11 minutes. During the day, we tend to take the train, as it's the easiest and quickest option, although in the evenings, we often prefer to drive when the roads are quieter, and parking is easier. For those who need to commute to London, both Chippenham and nearby Great Bedwyn offer direct train services that can get you to the city in about an hour—perfect for anyone working in the capital but seeking a quieter place to call home. In addition, the M4 motorway is only 20 minutes away, providing fast access to Bristol, the Cotswolds, and beyond. Whether you need to head west to Bristol or east to the heart of London, it's an easy drive from here. We're also well-served by regular and frequent bus services that run every 15 minutes or so, connecting us to nearby towns like Swindon, Devizes, and Chippenham. It's a great option if you don't want to drive or need to take public transport to connect to other routes. Overall, whether you're commuting for work or heading out for leisure, everything is easily accessible from here, making it a perfect spot for both convenience and peace of mind. Why We Chose This Property: Our decision to buy this property was truly a case of everything falling into place at the right time. The annex was originally part of our friends' property next door, and when they were advised to sell it separately from The Old Dairy, we couldn't pass up the opportunity. Having previously lost out on one of the barns opposite, we knew this was our chance to finally live in the place we had always dreamed of. Our friends had lived here since the barns were converted 18 years ago. We frequently looked after each other's dogs when we or they were away, and during those times, we stayed in their barn—an experience we always cherished. We fell in love with the peaceful setting. The barn had always felt like a home away from home. When the annex became available, we saw it as the perfect opportunity to downsize and create a new chapter of our own. We bought the annex and built our home, Walnut Tree Cottage, around it, so it's been a true labour of love. We've taken care to build something exceptional. We were fortunate enough to be 'stuck' here during the ash cloud of 2010, and later, during Covid, we found solace in this peaceful retreat that this home provided. It gave us the time to work on the house and the extension, turning it into the place we've always wanted. This property is our perfect haven—a space that feels like home, not just because we live here, but because of the memories we've created and the love we've put into it. It was meant to be, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Accommodation: The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to create a natural flow between living spaces, making the house equally suited to relaxed day-to-day living and entertaining guests. The centrepiece of the home is the remarkable bespoke kitchen and dining space. The handcrafted cabinetry and curved layout create an elegant yet highly functional environment. Above, a circular skylight fills the room with natural light throughout the day, enhancing the sense of openness and making the space feel bright and uplifting in every season. Just off the kitchen, a useful utility room houses further state-of-the-art integrated appliances, as well as the guest cloakroom. Adjoining the kitchen is a series of welcoming reception spaces, including a comfortable sitting room centred around the fireplace with inset Stovax log burner and bespoke shelving. To the rear of the cottage, and taking full advantage of the surrounding garden views, the oak-framed garden room, or additional bedroom, with limestone flooring from Artisans of Devizes, creates the perfect spot to retreat to all year round. The bedrooms are generously sized with high, vaulted ceilings and whilst being thoughtfully positioned to provide privacy and comfort. All bedrooms enjoy a pleasant outlook, with the principal bedroom overlooking the gardens and the guest bedroom having direct access to the private courtyard. The bathroom, again with limestone flooring from Artisans of Devizes, has been beautifully finished, featuring a large walk-in shower, a freestanding Witt & Berg copper bath and a bespoke double vanity unit. Throughout the house, exposed beams, carefully chosen materials and quality craftsmanship combine to create a home that feels both stylish and timeless. Outside: The gardens surrounding Walnut Tree Cottage are a true highlight of the property, offering a wonderful sense of space and privacy. Extending to just over half an acre, they provide plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, gardening and family life. A series of seating areas and quieter corners allow you to enjoy the landscape at different times of day, whether relaxing in the sunshine, entertaining guests or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. Raised vegetable beds and a striking hexagonal greenhouse provide an ideal setting for those with a passion for gardening. From the garden gate, footpaths lead directly into the surrounding countryside, offering beautiful walks with views towards the White Horse at Cherhill, the Cherhill Monument and the rolling downs beyond. These routes connect to nearby villages and welcoming country pubs, making it easy to enjoy the landscape on foot. Summer House: Positioned within the garden is a charming summer house, designed to be enjoyed throughout the year. Fully insulated and fitted with power, lighting and a wood-burning stove, it provides a warm and inviting retreat whatever the season. Currently used as a peaceful space to relax and unwind, it could easily serve a variety of purposes including a home office, creative studio or comfortable guest accommodation.

Three sides are surrounded by high mature hedges that create a wonderful feeling of privacy and seclusion, the fourth side has a post-and-rail fence that ensures unbroken views across the neighbouring field to the hills beyond. “The garden gets the sun all day. It comes up over the pond area and then goes all the way round and, as it goes down in the west, you still get the sun in the evening.” “We get lots of birds including goldfinches. Some woodpeckers nest every year in the trees just up by the field, and kites nest in the wood just past us. It's lovely.” Within the garden are areas that come into their own at different times of the day or for different purposes. To the west side of the house is a large area of lawn. “There's enough grass for the kids to play cricket and badminton or whatever. My hot tub is there as well. So the kids liked to have that as their little area.” To the south side, a patio runs along the length of the house, accessed from the kitchen, dining and sitting room – perfect for when entertaining or dining alfresco. “In the early evening, my husband and I used to love having a glass of wine on the patio outside the dining room if it was nice, looking out. It was just so peaceful. It's so quiet here. Beyond the fence is either just sheep or grass.” To the east side, a covered area beside a pretty pond. “There's a lovely little seating area opposite the pond, which is a nice, quiet, relaxing place to sit, with the sound of the water trickling down the waterfall.” “It’s a nice, sheltered spot, which in all this very hot weather we've had, has been lovely. A breeze comes down off the hill, making it a wonderfully cool place to sit.” Across the back of the house, a mature wisteria provides stunning trailing colour in the summer, while planting at the front adds splashes of colour. “I have a lovely Japanese wisteria which we put in 34 years ago, , it's a really beautiful one. I also have three camellias at the front. I’ll miss them, but somebody else will enjoy them.” Within the garden, a mix of pots, beds and fruit trees provide colour, interest and, in good years, plenty of fruit – if you’ve ever dreamt of making jam or enjoy home baking, this garden should provide. “I've had a most wonderful crop of Victoria plums. We haven’t had as many apples this year as last year. But the plums are absolutely wonderful this year. I’ve been giving them away left, right and centre.” Parking The house has two approaches from the lane: the first via the main driveway to the front of the house, where there’s a double garage and parking for about 4/5 cars, with another entrance just beyond this to the side of the house, where there’s additional parking for another 4/5 cars. There is also a very large shed for storage and the location of the LPG tank. This home can accommodate a lot of visitors or an owner with a passion for cars. “We have the front drive, and down the lane, there's the back drive. There's parking there for about five cars, six cars. But when everyone's here, it's great because everyone can get squeezed in.” “When we have all the family here, they'll just look in the front drive and if that's full, they’ll just open the double gates at the next drive and come in and park there.” There is also a large shed In the area A popular village that originated in medieval times, today Inkpen is increasingly popular with families looking for a quieter, simpler, safer, more rural way of life. There is a great cricket ground and pavilion and a very popular playground. “There are lots of newer people coming in, younger people, which is good for the village. It's a very good village school, apparently. So that gets a lot of people in.” “Inkpen is a very friendly village. There's always something going on. I'm not as involved as I was, but there's loads of activities. And a village newsletter.” For dining out, the popular gastro pub, the Crown and Garter, which dates back to 1640, is just a short walk away. It is also home to the Honesty Café and bakery, both highly regarded. “There's a lovely walk through the woods. It takes about 10 minutes, then you're at the Crown and Garter. So if you suddenly decide you don’t want to cook, you can say ‘Oh, let's go and have a meal there’. They have a very nice coffee shop too. “When I had a dog, he used to find his own way there, cadging all sorts of treats from people.” “You can buy bread at the Crown, and one or two people sell fresh eggs nearby, you just leave the money in an honesty box.” In addition, for something Michelin-listed Woodspeen, Vineyard, Goat on the Roof and Malverleys are all within a short drive. This is great walking country, with walks through the woods and across the fields up to the hills and the famous Coombe Gibbet. “It's a super walking area. I mean, people drive their cars out here and park at the Crown to go for a walk.” For culture, you have the iconic and award-winning Watermill Theatre (also a dining location), Arlington Arts, the Corn Exchange and the Living Rainforest. The town centres of Newbury and Hungerford are eight and five miles away respectively. Both offer a range of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and amenities. Additionally, Newbury has a multi-screen cinema and a Racecourse that regularly hosted Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth and members of the royal family. Several golf courses can be found in and around the area, including Donnington & Co hotel, spa and golf club, Deanwood Park Golf Club, Donnington Grove Golf Club and Newbury & Crookham Golf Club. Good to know Some insights from our homeowner. “There is no light pollution here at all. There's no streetlight, nothing. You have wonderful black skies. It's lovely if you're into stargazing. It's just the best of best places.” “Inkpen is in one of the areas of outstanding natural beauty.” “We’re not overlooked by anybody. It’s lovely and peaceful here. The neighbours have had horses, there is lots of stabling and paddocks nearby” Transport links By car The main east-west and north-south arteries of the M4 and A34 are both approx. 15-minutes’ drive away, giving access to London, Bristol and Cornwall, as well as Oxford, Birmingham and the south coast.

Set in more than 23 acres of parkland, woodland, lakes and landscaped gardens, Forbury House is a Grade II-listed estate that has been carefully and diligently rebuilt from the inside out without losing the bones of the original house. The main residence and its ancillary buildings run to over 16,400 sq ft, providing enough space for a serious family compound, with the leisure facilities and privacy to match. London is just over an hour away. A tree-lined drive delivers you to a classically proportioned façade that gives away only a fraction of what’s inside. The reception hall runs almost 38 ft, its plasterwork and open fireplace under a soaring ceiling doing most of the talking before you’ve even reached the drawing room. From there, the principal rooms unfold with the kind of proportions that work as well for hosting as they do for family life. The dual-aspect drawing room looks out over the gardens; the dining room is built for larger gatherings; and the orangery, lit through a glazed lantern roof, opens straight onto the terrace. A cinema room, a study and a gym with full-height glazing and its own outdoor access complete the ground floor. The kitchen, arguably the centre of the house, is built around a substantial island and bespoke cabinetry, with twin butler sinks, an Aga and integrated appliances doing the heavy lifting; next door is a beautiful orangery with views out to the garden. Utility and boot rooms keep the mess of daily life at a discreet distance from the rooms designed for entertaining. Upstairs, a galleried landing lit by a vaulted skylight sets the tone. The principal suite has a wing to itself, with two dressing rooms and an ensuite bathroom; six further bedrooms, five with their own ensuites, accommodate family and guests, alongside a shower room and dedicated laundry. The ancillary accommodation includes a self-contained annexe attached to the main house, a Coach House split into two separate dwellings, and a detached Lodge with three further bedrooms. Between them, there is flexibility enough for staff, extended family or a house full of guests. Outside, the grounds match the house for ambition. Formal gardens give way to lawns, mature woodland and a lake, linked by paths that wind through the different parts of the estate. A walled garden holds a heated outdoor pool and a pool house with its own kitchen and shower facilities; a working kitchen garden contains raised beds and a greenhouse. Beyond that lie open meadows, paddocks and a hard tennis court. For all its seclusion, Forbury House sits just outside Kintbury, a village with a strong sense of community, everyday shops and a mainline station that gets you to Paddington in around an hour. Hungerford and Newbury are close by for a wider selection of restaurants and shops, and the surrounding North Wessex Downs are well known for their walking, riding and cycling.
