ABOUT THIS AREA
Great Shefford is a small village and parish in West Berkshire, situated in the valley of the River Lambourn, a classic chalk stream known for its clear waters and trout fishing. With a small population the village retains a peaceful rural character, defined by flint cottages, period farmhouses and modern family homes set along quiet lanes.
At the heart of the village stands the historic Church of St Mary, which dates back to the 12th century and reflects the area’s long history. The village benefits from a primary school and preschool, as well as a village shop, post office and petrol station. The village pub is also set to reopen this summer, further enhancing the strong community feel.
Great Shefford lies within the North Wessex Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty known for its rolling chalk hills, open farmland and extensive walking and riding routes, the valley is also known as the “Valley of the Racehorse” which is centred on Lambourn. Home to numerous racing stables and trainers, it is a major hub of British racing. The surrounding chalk downs and gallops provide ideal training ground for thoroughbred racehorses year-round.
Nearby towns such as Wantage, Hungerford, Newbury and Marlborough provide wider amenities and rail connections to London and the property has excellent access to schooling.
