DESCRIPTION
Welcome to 14 Newbury Street, an utterly charming and beautifully maintained Grade II listed cottage, believed to date back to the 17th Century. Tucked away in the vibrant village of Lambourn, this attractive semi detached home combines rich historic character, such as leaded light windows, latched doors, exposed brickwork and timbers, with tasteful modern updates, creating a welcoming and elegant retreat. Step through the front door into a wonderfully proportioned living room, full of charm and warmth, featuring a striking fireplace housing a woodburning stove. A large understairs cupboard provides excellent storage, and you’ll spot the cottage’s original exterior window, now offering a unique internal view into the kitchen. To the rear lies the kitchen, a later addition, finished to a high standard with underfloor heating, a stable door out to the garden and a neat, modern bi-fold door into the living room. Off the living room is a versatile study, perfect as a home office or reading room, which continues into a bright boot room with outdoor access. A separate cloakroom completes the ground floor. The stairs lead to a large second bedroom which leads to the master bedroom. The main bedroom is spacious and serene, with a built-in airing cupboard. The second double bedroom includes access to a loft room, ideal for storage, hobbies, or potential further accommodation. There is also a well-fitted family bathroom, with a bath and overhead shower.

OUTSIDE
The property is accessed via a shingle driveway leading to a detached single garage, complete with lighting, power, and a side door into the garden. A gated path provides access to the rear entrance of the cottage. The rear garden is a true highlight. Enclosed for privacy, it features colourful borders, a tranquil pond, and a sun terrace, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Stone steps ascend to a raised lawn area, where you’ll find an impressive summer house with a canopied veranda, creating a perfect spot for summer evenings or year-round creative use.
