Set in approx. 9.5 acres a four bedroom detached house with stables and land, on the edge of a lovely Berkshire village
A residential and private equestrian property on the edge of the pretty and popular village of Boxford. The house, we understand was built in the 1980’s in a period style, with attractive brick facing and great scope and potential for extension subject to planning permissions.
There are beautiful views over the property’s own land and beyond to the rear. We understand that there is lovely out-riding to be enjoyed within a short hacking distance, along the country road, accessed from the top of the land and further hacking to nearby Sole Common.
The village of Boxford has an attractive church, a public house and Village Hall, and is readily accessible to Newbury, which has a wide range of facilities and amenities, including a mainline rail station, and also Hungerford with its attractive street frontage and wide range of independent shops, as well as supermarkets etc. and a mainline station.
Junctions 13 and 14 of the M4 Motorway are readily accessible to the property, as are the pretty market towns of Marlborough and Wantage.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached off the small country lane via a short driveway, shared initially with one other property. This leads to the property’s own private entrance with electric gates leading to a gravelled parking and turning area to the front of the Double Garage, which has a wide electrically operated shutter garage door and outside security lighting. Within the Garage there is a separate fuse board for the garden and stables. To the rear is a Garden Shed/Store with power and light and the oil storage tank.
There are attractive and mature Gardens and Grounds surrounding the house, with the front garden screened by mature beech hedging. There are a number of fruit trees, lawned areas and a paved pathway around to the far side of the house where there is a Purpose-Built Koi Pond and brick paved Patio Seating Area with flower and shrub beds and lawns. To the rear there is a further Brick Paved Seating Area, Summerhouse and Storage Unit. There is exterior Lighting throughout the garden area.
There is a separate vehicular access to the far side of the Double Garage which leads through the rear garden to a gated entrance, leading on out to the outbuildings and land.

To the front there is a concrete Yard Area with Outside Tap. A side gate leads to an enclosed Chicken Run and Vegetable Patch.
The Land adjoins and comprises six main paddocks of gently sloping pasture. The home paddock has a four bay Sheep Shelter, and one of the further paddocks has an open-fronted Field Shelter. There is a piped water supply to troughs in the paddocks which are enclosed by a range of post and rail and stock fencing.
There are beautiful, far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. At the very far end of the land there is a gated access leading onto the lane and a bridleway beyond. We understand the neighbouring property also has access through this gateway and a right of access for a short distance, into their own land.
