Why we love this
Why we love this
- Remote feel within 15 acres of quiet farmland, yet just an hour from London
- Beautiful terrace and gardens for sunbathing and enjoying barbecues
- Superb location for country walks, bike rides and exploring The Chilterns
This cosy country house brims with rustic elegance. Think bare brick walls, exposed ceiling beams and a roaring fire, teamed with a neutral colour palette, with a pop of bold colour every now and then. Plus, there’s an exciting combination of classic and modern furniture and fittings.
On the ground floor, there’s a large living room with an open fireplace, while the comfortable sofas and armchairs are perfect for getting cosy. There’s a smaller, more formal living room too. With a wood-burning stove and a coffee table with a sunken drinks cabinet, it’s ideal for everything from reading a book in peace with your favourite tipple to hand, to an afternoon snooze.
Meanwhile, the large farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room is an ideal space for entertaining and socialising. There’s an impressive five-door Aga, plus all the modern conveniences you’d expect including a fridge, freezer, microwave, coffee machine and dishwasher. Gather around the large dining table and enjoy a good meal, good company and chatting about the day’s events.
Glass doors open to the terrace and garden beyond. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at the BBQ area, relax on a sun lounger or warm up beside the fire pit on a chilly evening. There are stunning views of the surrounding fields and countryside, perfect for totally unwinding.
There’s also a smart boot room/utility with a Belfast sink, a WC, a washing machine and a tumble dryer, plus plenty of space for a dog bed if you’re bringing a four-legged friend with you.
Upstairs, there are three king-size bedrooms. The master has an opulent en-suite bathroom with a freestanding copper bath, a large walk-in shower, twin sinks and a WC, plus there’s a dressing area. Of the other two bedrooms, one has an en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower, and the other has an en-suite shower room.
There is also a family bathroom and an additional WC.
There are two further bedrooms, a double and a twin, in one of the outbuildings. These bedrooms are decorated in a welcoming, barn style with wood-clad walls and luxurious touches.
If you’re feeling energetic, there’s also a gym room, as well as table tennis.
The house also has parking for up to five cars and storage for bicycles.

Location
The neighbourhood
The property enjoys a peaceful, rural setting near the small village of Enborne in west Berkshire, close to the historic, market town of Newbury. Newbury is a vibrant town with a fantastic range of independent and high street shops, restaurants, leisure and cultural attractions including the Corn Exchange theatre. You can also spend a day at the races at Newbury Racecourse, visit the ruined medieval Donnington Castle, or head a little further to Highclere Castle, also known as Downton Abbey.Newbury also has some of the south of England’s most stunning walking and cycling trails, including the tow path of the Kennet & Avon Canal that runs through the town. Or, head to Greenham or Crookham Common, once military bases, that are havens for wildlife-watchers, walkers, runners and cyclists.Inspiration for you
