Ecchinswell, Newbury, Berkshire, RG20

A Grade II Listed family home with annex potential at the heart of this desirable Hampshire village.

Description

This Grade II Listed home lies at the heart of this sought after picturesque Hampshire village.

The formal entrance to the house leads straight into the entrance hall which incorporates a downstairs cloakroom as well as a useful storage room. To the right of the hall is the refurbished kitchen/breakfast/dining room which is a terrific social space. This dual aspect room has an informal breakfast bar and range of wall and base units as well as plenty of space for family dining. Exposed brick walls and flag stone flooring ensure this space is both contemporary and characterful.

A large boot room and pantry can be accessed from the kitchen and also provide doors to the front and rear of the house.

To the left of the hall is the formal sitting room with tiled floor and wood burner, which in turn leads to the relaxed snug with slate flooring and open fire. A door from here leads straight to the pretty South facing front garden.

Access to the first floor is provided by two staircases. The principal bedroom lies to the front of the house and benefits from an en suite dressing room. The stripped wooden flooring and vaulted ceilings make this a light filled room. Next to this there is another double bedroom, plus a smaller bedroom next to the family bathroom.

Access to the other bedroom is from the snug staircase. These are wonderful sized rooms and could be linked to the other rooms with the relevant planning consents. In addition to the main house, Church Corner has a wonderful one bedroom annexe which could be incorporated back into the house or utilised as guest accommodation or income potential.

Church Corner sits centrally in its plot and so has the benefit of year round sun. The gardens to the front of the house are mainly laid to lawn with mature hedge borders and a variety of trees and shrubs. There is a large lawned area to the rear of the house as well as a paved sun terrace to the side. Church Corner has its own off street private parking in the large gravelled area and a double garage as well as useful storage sheds.
