Detached house for sale in Hungerford RG17, 6 Bedroom

Saxon Hall dates from 1830 and has benefited from a number of additions in recent times. It sits in an elevated position in Upper Lambourn overlooking farmland.

The property offers excellent reception areas for
formal entertaining with a large drawing room
overlooking its gardens and a generous dining room. The traditional kitchen with Aga provides the focus of the house and is situated close to a cosy sitting room with generous fireplace and good natural light. Practical space is provided by a utility room, boot room and larder. On the lower ground floor there is a family room giving additional space for children or an office. In addition there is a good cellar providing perfect conditions for wine storage.

Attractive stairs lead to a welcoming landing from which rooms flow naturally. The master bedroom suite is well proportioned and generous in size. Guest accommodation has an en suite bathroom and there are four further bedrooms and two bathrooms. An integral annexe can be accessed via back stairs.

The property is located in an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of
Lambourn, well known for its racing
and training yards. Situated on the edge of the
Lambourn Downs, the surrounding countryside
is renowned for its extensive walking and riding.

The hamlet of Upper Lambourn has a public
house and Lambourn village is approximately a
mile away providing extensive facilities including
a shop, two supermarkets (one with post office),
butcher, chemist, church and primary school.
The market towns of Newbury and Hungerford
have a more comprehensive range of facilities
and both offer train services into London
Paddington. Road links are excellent with easy
access to the M4 (J14) and the A34.

There is a good range of schools available in the
area including Pinewood, Stepping Stones,
Cheam, Elstree, Marlborough College, St Mary’s
Calne, Downe House and St Gabriels.

The house is approached through brick pillars
and a gravel drive which sweeps to the front and
rear of the house and ends at a double garage
and back door.

There is formal lawn with mature borders and
beds and these are sheltered by an attractive
brick wall. A mature hornbeam walk leads to
a hidden swimming pool with a well equipped
pool house comprising a changing room, shower
and well equipped kitchen. There is also a
tennis court, vegetable patch and greenhouse
which are all hidden from view. There is a
generous sized paddock flanking the drive to
the east with a pair of field shelters and water
supplied. This paddock is a delightful open
green space in front of the house providing an
attractive outlook.

The driveway to Saxon Hall spurs left at the top
of the drive to the staff accommodation which is
of basic construction but an ideal site for a more
sophisticated solution.
