Woolton Hill, Newbury, Hampshire, RG20

The Stables is a handsome, individually designed house built to a very high standard in 2001. The current owners have carried out extensions and improvements to the house and garage, whilst also remodelling the internal layout. The property is immaculately presented throughout - the recent extension and complete renovation having produced a wonderful family home, positioned in this sought after rural location within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape (formerly AONB), on the edge of the highly regarded north Hampshire village of Woolton Hill.

Dating back to 2001, The Stables was built to a very high standard and has undergone recent renovations and improvements by the current owners. Nestled down a sweeping walled driveway, the property is tucked away well off the village road, with the plot opening out behind the house and providing far reaching views over open countryside and woodland beyond.

A large, paved driveway provides plenty of parking in front of the house and generous garaging. An oak-framed overhanging porch leads to the front door which opens into a wide, galleried reception hall at the centre of the house, with cloakroom and walk-in cloak cupboard off.

The owners have redesigned the layout creating flowing accommodation to the ground floor, consisting of a study which opens onto a family room at the front of the house. At the back of the property, enjoying views across the garden and adjacent countryside is the main open-plan living area comprising sitting room with woodburning stove; dining area with two lantern roof lights creating natural light throughout the room; and an impressive bespoke kitchen which has been extended, allowing for bifold doors opening onto the rear west facing terrace. The fully integrated kitchen has a large island with breakfast bar and space to the side for sofas to enjoy views across the garden. Beyond the kitchen is a fitted panty which leads to the utility/boot room with a stable door into the garden. The sitting room and dining area also have French doors to the side and rear paved terraces.

A turning staircase leads to an open landing. The triple aspect principal bedroom suite enjoys views over the garden, has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom has an en suite shower room, and there are 3 further double bedrooms with a large family bathroom.

The private, landscaped rear garden is a particular feature of the property which enjoys views over the neighbouring countryside. The garden is mostly laid to lawn with a mixture of well-established shrubs and trees. An elevated terrace wraps around the property providing a variety of outdoor spaces, beyond which are the lawns interspersed with shrub borders and ornamental planting as well as fine mature oak trees. There is a garden shed beside the garage and a secluded garden room currently used as a gym in the southern corner of the garden.

The interconnecting triple garage has been extended and converted with a self-contained annexe on the first floor. A covered oak stairway leads to the front door of the annexe which has a fully equipped kitchen, generously sized shower room and open studio with space for a king-sized bed and sitting area, with French doors opening onto a large balcony overlooking the garden.
