Shaw Road, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14

Grade II listed property conveniently situated for access to town.

Description

An enchanting example of a Grade II listed period property. This is a secret gem accessed through a gateway off the road, which opens to reveal a most delightful cottage garden with a pathway to the front door. Within a conservation area, the property is also within convenient proximity of all town amenities. The interior is beautifully presented and exudes an abundance of charm and character, with period features such as exposed timber beams, which are complemented by wood flooring. The central entrance hallway, with a high ceiling and a tessellated tile floor, on one side leads to the dining room, featuring a wood-burning stove, which opens into a study area (could be entirely enclosed if desired). Off the other side of the hallway is the country style kitchen and a utility room, cloakroom and WC. To the rear is the atmospheric sitting room with French doors to the garden.
The first floor boasts a bedroom with en suite and a rolltop bath, double basins, and a WC with shower. There are two further bedrooms served by the family bathroom. The generous principal bedroom, which has vaulted ceilings, a dressing area, a reading area and an en suite (with a stunning copper bath and separate shower), is full of natural light and occupies the entire top floor.
This property has been recently renovated and is presented with meticulous attention to detail, maintaining and preserving one of the most historic houses in Newbury.
