Oak Tree Drive, Newtown, RG20

Oak Tree Drive is where two worlds meet in harmony. To one side lies the sweep of Newtown Common: heathland, woodland, and open skies alive with birdsong. To the other, the thriving market town of Newbury, with its theatre, cafés, and swift rail links to London. Life here is not about choosing between quiet or connection, but embracing both. Families find space to grow, professionals find quiet and ease of travel, and everyone finds the simple gift of balance.

There are three new homes here built by Allfarthing Ltd. No 1 and No 4 have 5 bedrooms and are a mirror image internally, but look very different externally.

No 3 is a much larger Georgian-style home and has 6 bedrooms and multiple reception rooms.

“Here, each day begins with birdsong, perhaps a walk in the common. These efficient and stylish brand new homes are perfect for working from home or a short commute to the train station.”

Coming Home

Spacious, elegant, and crafted with care, the homes at Oak Tree Drive are designed for modern family living.

Interiors flow with considered ease, from sociable kitchen family rooms to large formal living rooms, quiet studies and fabulous boot rooms. Outside, individual architecture draws from timeless traditions, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Each home carries a sense of permanence, yet inside, there is every contemporary comfort — high efficiency, advanced wiring, and flexible spaces for work and leisure alike. These are homes that welcome families through every chapter of life, combining everyday practicality with a touch of grace.

Inside Story: No 1

Step inside and light takes centre stage. Leading from the entrance hall, the generous kitchen, dining and family room extends from the front to the back of the property. With a breakfast bar in the centre island, this is a space for gathering at the start of the day. For more formal meals, the dining area is steeped in natural light with windows and doors across the back of the room overlooking the garden. French doors bring the outside in, and make outdoor entertaining a breeze on a warm evening.

An additional space in this room is ideal as a TV snug, or relaxing area for after dinner. To the side is a separate reception room which could be used as a study, play room or games room (there are three images showing these options for this room).

The dual aspect drawing room leads from the dining area and also has french doors to the garden. In family homes, flow is so important, and this has been designed so well for every day family living and entertaining.

The now all important utility and boot room has a separate entrance - near to the double car port - so muddy paws and boots can be contained after walks on the common, schoolbags and coats kept tidy and washing done without interruption.

Outside, the driveway has space for 3 or 4 cars, as well as a double car port. The back garden is accessed from both sides of the house and offers an opportunity to create an oasis of calm and privacy.

“Light, space, and comfort — designed for the way you live.”

Upstairs, the well planned space allows for an impressive principal suite - a generous bedroom leads to another room, the dressing room, which in turn leads to an ensuite bathroom with freestanding tub and sizeable shower. This suite of rooms really could be a boutique retreat at an exclusive hotel.

There are three further double bedrooms on this floor, one with ensuite and walk in wardrobe and two more that share the family shower room.

The second floor would be ideal for an older teenager or two - there is a bedroom with ensuite plus a further study room, perfect for sleepovers.

Common Community

Step beyond the drive and the Common unfolds — a landscape shaped by centuries, alive with colour and change. In spring, bluebells carpet the woodland floor in a haze of violet, while morning mist rises above the heath. Summer brings warmth to the many trails, where children run ahead and dogs race through the trees. Come autumn, the air sharpens; oaks and beeches blaze with russet and gold, their leaves drifting like embers along the paths. Winter reveals the Common at its quietest — frost dusting the ground cover, footfalls crisp and clear in the still air.

These shifting moods are more than scenery; they are invitations. To walk, to pause, to breathe. To gather with family for picnics in the shade, or to stride out alone beneath wide skies. The Common offers a rhythm of its own — steady, grounding, restorative. For those who make their home at Oak Tree Drive, this expanse of wild beauty is not a destination, but part of daily life.

The Great Outdoors

At Oak Tree Drive, gardens are more than boundaries; they are extensions of life beneath open skies, dogs doze in the sun, and evenings stretch long around a table with friends. Beyond the drive, the lane is where morning runs, weekend cycles, and family picnics unfold in easy rhythm. To live here is to carry nature as a constant companion — the rustle of leaves, the play of light, the scent of rain after warm days. With countryside at your doorstep, outdoor living becomes effortless, a natural thread woven into the fabric of everyday life.

“Nature at your doorstep.”

Connectivity

Oak Tree Drive balances seclusion with seamless connection. Newbury station lies just minutes away by car, offering fast trains to London Paddington in around 40 minutes. The A34, A339 and M4 place Newbury, Basingstoke, Oxford, Reading, Southampton and Heathrow within easy reach, opening the door to both business and leisure across the South. Yet travel here is not only about speed — it is about ease. To wake beneath woodland skies, then join the city’s hum before mid-morning, is to enjoy the rare gift of time reclaimed. For those whose days are spread across town and countryside, Oak Tree Drive ensures that neither world is ever far.

“Wake in the countryside, work in the City.”

Newbury: A Market Town

Newbury is a town alive with culture and charm. The Kennet and Avon Canal winds through its heart, lined with cafés that spill onto the waterside.

For entertainment, the Vue cinema has all the latest releases and the Corn Exchange offers theatre, comedy, and film, while the Racecourse hosts both world-class racing and lively concerts.

Dining ranges from cosy pubs to fine restaurants, with flavours to suit every mood and occasion. From The Woodspeen and The Dew Pond for special occasions to independent restaurants like Mio Fiore to Cote and Pizza Express, there is something for everyone.  

For families, education is exceptional: nearby schools include Horris Hill, St Gabriel’s, and the renowned Cheam School. Good local state primary and secondary schools are also close by in Burghclere and Newbury.

Whether browsing boutiques, catching a performance, or enjoying a riverside walk, Newbury provides the amenities of a vibrant town — all within minutes of the quiet refuge of Oak Tree Drive.

Energy & Design

Behind the elegance of Oak Tree Drive lies a quiet intelligence. Every home carries a B-rated Energy Performance Certificate, reflecting not only lower running costs but a lighter footprint on the land. Underfloor heating brings warmth in the ground floor rooms, and a heat recovery system ensures efficient distribution of heat everywhere. Clever discreet wiring supports the demands of modern life, enabling connectivity in every room.

An electric vehicle charger in the car port is convenient and ready for the journeys of tomorrow, and high-quality insulation together with an Air Source Heat Pump ensures comfort in every season. Sustainability here is woven, not showcased — an ethos of careful design rather than compromise. These are homes shaped for longevity: to support families today, and to meet the needs of a changing world with grace.

“A home built with the future in mind.”

Wellbeing at Home

Home is more than shelter; it is a place of renewal. At Oak Tree Drive, every detail has been shaped with wellbeing in mind. Morning light spills into kitchens, inviting unhurried breakfasts. French doors open onto gardens, where fresh air restores clarity after busy days. Rooms are arranged to offer both openness and retreat — flowing spaces for family gatherings, and quiet corners for stillness. For those who work from home, dedicated studies provide focus without intrusion, while flexible layouts adapt as life evolves.

Wellbeing is also found in the small rituals: yoga on the lawn, children’s laughter drifting upstairs, the simple pleasure of dining together at the close of day. Here, balance is not an aspiration but a natural outcome of thoughtful design. Oak Tree Drive is more than a collection of houses — it is a place where body, mind, and spirit can rest, flourish, and thrive.

Community & Heritage

Oak Tree Drive is not just part of a landscape, but part of a village with deep roots. Newtown has grown gently over the centuries, clusters of cottages in the 140 acre common, the local church, just a few steps away in the lane. The village carries a sense of continuity — parish life (Newtown has it’s own parish council), local pub conversations, neighbours who greet one another by name. Heritage here is not preserved behind glass, but lived each day, woven into the rhythm of community. Nearby Burghclere offers good Primary and Secondary schools.

At the same time, Newtown looks forward. Families are welcomed, traditions are shared, and new stories find a place alongside old. Living here means stepping into a community that values both belonging and individuality. Whether joining in a village event, walking the lanes on a crisp morning, or enjoying a quiet evening at the pub, life here is rich in connection. Oak Tree Drive offers not just a home, but a share in a heritage — a chance to root your story in soil that has been tended for generations.
