Compton Road, Newbury, RG20

The setting for Sunny Brae is delightful: situated in the heart of East Ilsley, easily accessible to all the village amenities, and with lovely views over the surrounding Berkshire Downs and the racing stables to the rear. The house is well located for access to local footpaths and bridleways, with a footpath to the rear of the house leading to a network of routes including The Ridgeway National Trail. The house is believed to have been built around 1850 and has only been sold twice in its history: it’s a much-loved and well maintained family house with a wide variety of original features, including cast iron
fireplaces, wooden doors, stained glass detailing and exposed beams. Externally there are lovely mature gardens, private parking and outside storage.
The original footprint of the house has been extended with a two-storey extension, creating a spacious home well suited to family life. The interiors have good natural light and are characterful and charming, blending period details with modern additions. To the front of the
house is a spacious sitting room with open fire place, leading to a farmhouse-style kitchen at the heart of the house, with an attached laundry room. Further reception rooms include a formal dining room, a snug and a study. The conservatory at the front of the house has been upgraded and provides a relaxing place to sit and enjoy views of the garden. There is also a cloakroom with WC and a boot room to the side of the house.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms arranged together
along a central landing: a principal bedroom with en
suite shower room and dressing area; a double bedroom with dressing room; a further double bedroom; and a smaller bedroom. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside

Sunny Brae is set within a spacious plot close to the village centre, with a private driveway leading up to
