A characterful four-bedroom DETACHED home benefiting from an expansive south-west facing garden, potential to create an annexe, and a fantastic SOUTH Newbury location.

DESCRIPTION
The property offers beautifully balanced accommodation across three floors. A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal reception rooms. At the front, both the sitting room and lounge benefit from large windows, including bays that flood the spaces with natural light. The sitting room features period detailing and a fireplace as a natural focal point, while the second reception room offers versatile use as a formal lounge or family room.

At the rear, the kitchen/dining area has been recently updated and thoughtfully designed. Abundant natural light streams through large windows, rooflights, and glazed doors opening onto the garden. Contemporary cabinetry is complemented by generous work surfaces and integrated appliances, with ample space for dining.

The family bathroom features a freestanding bath and separate shower.
The second floor adds further versatility with an additional bedroom, enhanced by roof windows, and served by a separate bathroom.
