Lot 3 - The Beech Hill Estate, Beech Hill, Reading, Berkshire

Lot 3 – Beech Hill Coverts
About 41.62 acres

Immediately to the west of Beech Hill Road and to the west of Home Farm and Cross Lanes Farm are Beech Hill Coverts which is an extensive single block of amenity woodland, with four small offlying blocks lying to the north. The northern blocks appear to only have access on foot, rather than by vehicle. The main block itself has good access, either off Beech Hill Road, which forms its western boundary, or Wood Lane, a private track, which forms its eastern boundary. The woods are rich in flora and fauna and have considerable environmental appeal.

Situation
The Beech Hill Estate lies in a fantastically convenient location to the south of the M4 and the north of the M3, sitting in delightful rolling countryside. It sits on the edge of the village of Beech Hill lying on the western side of the A33, which links Basingstoke to Reading. Once off the main roads, the Estate is accessed by a network of rural roads and small lanes.

Sporting and Recreation
The nearby pretty village of Swallowfield is surrounded by farmland and has a shop/post office, public houses (including the gourmet George & Dragon), doctor’s surgery, church, parish hall and a very active tennis club close by in Riseley. The delightful village of Hartley Wintney with lovely cafés and shops and the market town of Newbury are both within easy reach and provide more extensive shopping including a Waitrose. There are a number of nearby schools including Mortimer St John’s CE Infant School, Mortimer St Mary’s CE Junior School, as well as several highly rated independent schools nearby including but not limited to Downe House, Bradfield College, St Andrews, Pangbourne College, Reading Oratory, Elstree and Cheam. There is also the Wellington Farm Shop, Butcher and Cafe less than a mile away. The extremely popular Wellington Country Park is also just around the corner, offering lovely walks and entertainment for the whole family.
