DESCRIPTION
Currently occupying the site are a pair of traditional estate cottages constructed of red brick under a tile roof, both of which require full renovation and refurbishment. The cottages are set within a good sized plot which extends to the south (and includes the site of the consent for the additional new dwelling).

The cottages' accommodation is shown on the floor plans. No 54 is mid-terrace and currently provides 3 bedrooms plus a box room on the first floor with a kitchen, bathroom, sitting room and dining room on the ground floor. No 56 is at the end of the terrace and has 2 bedrooms on the first floor with a kitchen, bathroom, sitting room on the ground floor along with 3 interconnected storage rooms. Both properties are in considerable need of improvement but do offer character throughout, with exposed wooden beams and open fireplaces in well-proportioned reception rooms and bedrooms.

In addition to the two cottages, Planning Permission was granted on 20th May 2025, for the construction of a further detached 4-bedroom dwelling with associated car port. The sale provides potential to restore the two cottages as well as create a new-build family home. Ideal for developers, investors or multi-generational lifestyles.

The property also has convenient access to Newbury town (7 miles south) which offers a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities as well as being home to Newbury Racecourse.

Newbury railway station provides a direct line to London Paddington within 55 minutes and Central London via the Elizabeth Line (via Reading).
