Sulham Lane, Pangbourne, RG8

A bright, stylish and immaculately appointed new build, architecturally designed house in a sought-after semirural setting near Pangbourne, with self-contained annexes and gardens. Cover image is CGI Generated.

The two properties, occupying the same plot, could not be more different. With its modern design, expansive windows and neutral colour palette, the contemporary main house is a striking new build property presented to an exceptional standard, with neutral interiors and a thoroughly modern edge. Downstairs, an impressive reception hall leads to a stunning dual aspect kitchen/dining/family room with adjoining utility room, a spacious sitting room and a principal bedroom with its own dressing room and en suite shower room.

Separately there is a study/fourth bedroom and a further shower room. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are set under a pitched roof and share luxurious bath and shower room.

The barn conversion, conversely, is wonderfully characterful, arranged on one level in a linear layout comprising a charming sitting room with large inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and wood-framed French doors. The kitchen is presented in a traditional country style, with flagged tiled floors, a Sandyford range cooker and a butler sink. The property also includes two double bedrooms (one en suite) and a further bathroom.

Located in the pretty Berkshire hamlet of Sulham and within a stone’s throw of Pangbourne, Tidmarsh and Theale, Sulham Stables enjoys an enchanting position backed by mature woodland and facing onto attractive open farmland. The house is modern construction, completed in 2025, and offers the additional flexibility of a detached and entirely self-contained barn conversion.

It’s a plot of two halves: a stunning contemporary main house and a charming, characterful barn conversion packed with period features. To the rear, beautifully landscaped gardens incorporate mature planting and new landscaping.

Outside

Sulham Stables is accessed via a generous gravel driveway which separates the main house from the barn conversion, providing ample parking for a large number of cars.

The gardens to the rear of the house are west facing and wrap around the side of the property, comprising a good-size lawn, a paved terrace and separate decking area and an enclosed landscaped section with extensive planting – all enjoying a very pretty outlook.

The barn conversion has its own decking area to the front with ample space for seating – ideal for entertaining.
