Properties

Dating from the early 1930's this handsome house provides wonderfully light and sunny accommodation over two floors with southeast views over its garden and grounds to the spire of Highclere church beyond. The property has been refurbished with great attention to detail. The large entrance hall leads to a fantastic kitchen/dining area with two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace. Double doors to the adjoining sitting room can be opened to further extend the entertaining area. There is an elegant drawing room with a bay window as well as a spacious games/play room. The bedrooms are all generously sized with the principal bedroom having a balcony and views over the gardens. The attic has planning permission (now expired) to create a second floor comprising of two bedrooms, a study and an adjoining shower room. Located on the edge of Highclere, the property has lovely views over its own land and beyond to the Highclere Park Estate. It is also within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The garden and grounds surround the house to all sides and there is a swimming pool with a pool house incorporating a sauna. At the southern end of garden, beyond the wild meadow, there is an area of woodland with a stream running through.
