Description
An attractive Grade II listed property believed to date from the late 15th or early 16th centuries, set in a quiet private lane in the village of Letcombe Regis. The roof is partly thatched and part tiled, and the thatch was renewed in 2023. Due to the property's age and Grade II listing, an EPC is unreliable for energy costs and efficiencies. It does not reflect the natural insulation that the thick stone walls and thatched roof provides to retain warmth with much-reduced heating costs.
The property has well-proportioned, spacious rooms with good ceiling heights, and being south-facing, they are remarkably light.
The hall with a tiled floor leads into a large main reception room with an open fire and an adjacent garden room with views of the delightful garden. The good-sized dining room can accommodate parties of ten, and there is a kitchen/breakfast room, downstairs cloakroom, and rear lobby.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor, one currently used as a study, a fourth and possibly fifth bedroom (currently used as storage / second study) and a family bathroom on the second floor.
The beautiful garden is mainly laid to lawn with various mature borders and shrubs, making it a perfect place for entertaining or enjoying the glorious night sky as the village has resisted the installation of street lighting. A rare and attractive chalk stream runs along the western boundary. Stairs at the back of the house lead up to an area with raised beds and a gravel drive that provides access to a double garage.
The drive in front of the house leads to Antwicks Manor only.
Privately located in the heart of Letcombe Regis, a pretty downland village about 1.5 miles from the market town of Wantage.
The Regis in the village's title refers to King John, who is said to have hunted there. The village is in a conservation area with a public house, village hall (used for many local activities), the Grade II* listed St Andrew's Church and a shop/café. There are a variety of sports clubs, including tennis, football, bowls, riding and cricket.
Letcombe Regis is a mile-and-a-half from the market town of Wantage, known for its connections with King Alfred. Wantage has many local shops and amenities, including Waitrose and Sainsbury's.
Further leisure and more comprehensive shopping facilities can be found at Oxford, Newbury, Hungerford and Abingdon.
There is excellent walking on the Oxfordshire and Berkshire Downs, particularly on the Ridgeway towards the ancient Uffington White Horse. There is a local nature reserve funded by BBOWT and run by residents in Letcombe Regis and Letcombe Bassett.
Communications are excellent. A fast and frequent rail service is available at Didcot, and trains to London take approximately 40 minutes.
There is an excellent range of schools in the area, including St Hugh's, Pinewood, Cothill, and Radley; The Dragon, Summerfields, Headington and Magdalen College School in Oxford; and Abingdon School, together with St Helen's and St Katharine's in Abingdon.
Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage. Oil heating. Gas connection available.
