3 bed bungalow for sale

Church Lane, Highclere, Newbury, Hampshire RG20

A bespoke barn conversion with land in an enviable location.

Description
This architect designed modern barn is a shining example of low cost living utilising the very latest technology.

Clad in British Cedar and roofed in zinc, this unassuming building hides a bespoke and beautiful interior.

Limestone flooring throughout adds a touch of luxury and can be heated through zoned controls. From the recessed entrance porch you come straight into the magnificent sitting/family room which has Origin bifold doors leading to the sun terrace.

The kitchen/dining area is to the right of this with a large central island unit and a range of wall units topped with black granite finish. A door leads to the useful utility area. A corridor from the kitchen leads to the generous boot room which gives access to the side of the house. Opposite is the plant room which also doubles as useful storage.

The double bedrooms are situated at the opposite end of the house giving a purposeful distinction between the recreation and rest areas of the house.

The principal bedroom enjoys views directly over The Barn's land and benefits from a dressing room and en suite.

The two further bedrooms have the use of the family bathroom.

Access to The Barn is down a private track and parking in the large gravelled area.

Outside there is a useful log store and store room and plenty of space for garaging subject to the usual planning permissions.

The gardens at the Barn are enclosed with post and rail fencing and mainly laid to lawn. The land extends to the East and South to form a good parcel just under four acres and bordered by mature woods.

Location
The Barn sits off a small lane in the popular village of Highclere. The village is well known for its castle and is surrounded by stunning countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There is excellent walking, cycling and riding in the area and an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways such as the Wayfarers Walk, as well as the Kennet and Avon Canal, the North Hampshire Downs including Watership Down and the Bourne Valley.

The village has a pretty church, whilst nearby Woolton Hill has a local shop, Post Office and primary and junior schools.

Highclere is well placed for access to the A34, and therefore the M4 and south the A303/M3. Newbury lies 5.3 miles to the north and has a broader provision of shops and amenities including a mainline railway station with regular services to London Paddington, Reading and the West Country.

(All times and distances are approximate.)

In the wider area, there is racing at Newbury, Salisbury and Bath and fishing on the Kennet and Lambourn. Private schools in the area include Thorngrove, Cheam, Elstree, Horris Hill, St Gabriel’s, and Downe House.
