Originally a modest bungalow, The Paddocks has been reimagined and extended into over 2,200 sqft of beautifully balanced living space. Remodelled in 2019 with a careful eye for both form and function, this four-bedroom home marries crisp interiors and clean lines with a deep sense of flow and calm.

Perfect for families who love the outdoor life but cherish contemporary comfort, The Paddocks is just moments from a welcoming pub and garden centre, with excellent schools, church, tennis club as well as a local shop and post office in nearby Woolton Hill.

The market town of Newbury is less than 10 minutes away by car. There are strong transport links with the A34 and M4 close by, and Newbury station offers fast trains to London Paddington is around 42 minutes.

Contemporary Living

At the heart of the home lies an open-plan kitchen–dining–living space that’s flooded with natural light from three sets of bi-fold doors. These open onto a sun-soaked terrace and beyond—creating a seamless transition to the South East - facing garden and countryside beyond. Here, your days can begin with sun drenched breakfasts and end with al fresco dinners against a backdrop of fields and sky.

The sleek kitchen, with its generous island, quartz worktops, and abundant cabinetry, is as sociable as it is stylish. Whether you're preparing a family supper, entertaining friends or hosting a party, the layout invites connection and ease.

Thoughtful Touches

A spacious utility and boot room—accessed from the side—is a large, hardworking space for muddy boots and paws, with lots of storage, sink and space for a washing machine and dryer. Leading to the ground-floor en suite, a Jack and Jill-style shower room offers convenience for family and guests alike, also leading to the generously sized downstairs bedroom. This offers privacy and flexibility – ideal for guests and multi-generational living – perhaps an additional study or playroom.

Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures a cosy feel year-round. A separate study at the front of the house makes for a serene work-from-home spot, or could be reimagined as a TV snug.

A Sanctuary with a View

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is the owner's cherished sanctuary retreat. Full-width sliding doors open to a glass Juliet balcony, welcoming the first light of day and unbroken views across open fields. An en suite shower room and built-in wardrobe complete this tranquil suite.

Across the light-filled landing, two further double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom—complete with freestanding bath and walk-in shower—offer comfort and calm for the whole family.

A Landscape to Call Your Own

The generous garden feels both private and open, with mature borders and lawn that flows effortlessly into two acres of private paddocks—your own slice of countryside. Whether you dream of keeping horses, cultivating a wildflower meadow, or simply enjoying the green space, the potential is yours to decide. Stables and outbuildings provide additional practicality, and a further 3 acres of paddock land could be available to rent.

Approached via a hedge-lined driveway, there is off-road parking for 3–4 vehicles and gated side access. The entire setting feels quietly tucked away—private, yet warmly connected to the surrounding friendly community.

A True Country Lifestyle

Ball Hill is a peaceful hamlet with a strong sense of community and a slower pace of life. Locals gather at Malverleys for seasonal food and coffee, Yew Tree Garden Centre for plants and gifts, or the Furze Bush pub for relaxed evenings with friends. For a day out with friends, Highclere Castle or All Angels Vineyard are close by with pre-bookable tours and tastings.

Just a short drive away, Woolton Hill provides excellent village amenities—schools, a shop, post office, doctors’ surgery, tennis club and more.

Newbury, with its historic charm and modern conveniences, is less than 10 minutes away by car. Enjoy independent shops, restaurants, a cinema, and direct trains to London Paddington in just 42 minutes.

Families are spoilt for choice with strong local schools: Woolton Hill Junior and St Thomas’ Infant Schools are within easy reach, while school buses connect to The Clere, St Bart’s and Park House in Newbury. Nearby independent schools include Thorngrove, St Gabriel’s, Cheam and Horris Hill.

Surrounded by scenic walking and cycling routes, including those around Highclere Castle, this is a home immersed in nature yet within easy reach of the A34 and M4 for excellent road connections.

The Paddocks offers the best of both worlds: timeless country living, with everything you need just a heartbeat away.
