Take a gander at this substantial Queen Anne style Grade II Listed property, dating from 1907 and designed by Mr Mervyn Macartney – a surveyor to St Paul’s Cathedral. The property is surrounded by woodland which encompasses the remains of Bussock Camp - an Iron Age hillfort, with a double bank and ditch on the south and east, and only a single bank remaining on the north and west. The property retains many original period features, and has magnificent southerly views across the Kennet Valley.
The accommodation is well proportioned and spacious throughout. It now requires some sympathetic modernisation and updating but will create a very special and unique family home. The current family have owned the property since the 1950s.
The house is approached via a beautiful tree lined avenue after 1/3 mile drive through mature woodland and grounds which open up to a central turning circle and the imposing frontage. The impressive entrance/reception hall with a working fireplace gives access to the splendid central hall, with a vaulted ceiling, linking the ground floor accommodation. The drawing room has a fine fireplace with marble mantelpiece and surround, with doors to the adjoining gardens and grounds.
The dining room has a feature fireplace, sash windows and garden views. The dual aspect library has a handsome fireplace and the large study, which is the former billiard room, completes the reception rooms. The generous kitchen/breakfast room, which connects through to the dini.
