Andover Road, Newbury, RG14

Just on the edge of Wash Common, the top end of Andover Road has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to local amenities. Park House School is just the other side of the road while Newbury RFC, the David Lloyd leisure centre and Falkland surgery are all just about within a stone’s throw away.

Just a little further on is Newbury College and the retail park.

OUTSIDE

Front

A well kept front garden, with neat hedging separating you from the road. The generous gravel driveway allows for plenty of parking, and the lawn is brick-edged. Post and rail fencing separates you from neighbours to the right hand side.

A lean-to extends just about the full length of the house, covering a concrete parking spot and drive to the detached garage. This is an incredibly useful feature, allowing you to stay dry during wet weather and giving plenty of space to sort out muddy and/or wet kit, dogs and kids, and room to dry laundry.

Back
Bigger than it looks, the pretty back garden is zoned, with mature trees and shrubs. There is a shaded area at the end, with a couple of sheds for storage. At the end of the detached garage is a potting shed and there's a greenhouse if you’re a gardener.

Parking
The gravelled driveway leads to a concrete pad in front of the single detached garage, which is brick built with light and power.
