Situated in this highly desirable location, at the end of a bridleway in a quiet and peaceful area and yet just a walk away from the village of Upper Bucklebury, Ladywood is a handsome property with beautiful grounds of approximately 1.03 acres

Ladywood
Ladywood is a charming five-bedroom detached family home full of character and thoughtful modern updates. The property is approached via a quiet no-through lane, with electric gates opening onto a generous gravel driveway, offering ample parking in front of the house and garage.
Inside, the home is bright and inviting. The ground floor features two reception rooms: a sitting room with a double-sided wood-burning stove and a family room which is enhanced by large windows overlooking the front gardens and bespoke built-in cabinetry with home cinema system (speakers and projector not included). The heart of the home is the newly created kitchen/dining room — a spacious, multifunctional living space with French doors that open directly onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with high-spec Neptune cabinetry, an island with integral breakfast bar, and a wood-burning stove for added comfort. Also on the ground floor is a large utility room and a well-appointed cloakroom.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is light-filled and well-proportioned, accompanied by a guest bedroom with its own en suite, three further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room.
The gardens and grounds are a real highlight. To the front, the drive is bordered by an orchard and provides access to the double garage with a spacious bonus room above. To the rear, the house opens onto a beautiful stone terrace which runs along the back and west side, offering panoramic views over the garden and beyond. The expansive lawn is interspersed with mature trees, flowering shrubs, mixed borders and there is a productive kitchen garden.
To the west, the garden gives way to a private woodland area with a gentle stream meandering along its edge—ideal for children to explore or for peaceful moments of reflection.
Two delightful Shepherds Huts (only one is included in the sale) sit discreetly within the grounds, one with a wood-burning stove and the other with a radiator, both have electricity and the internet — perfect for guest accommodation, home offices, or creative studios.
