An immaculate six bedroom house with swimming pool at the heart of the Barbury Castle Estate

Description

An immaculate six bedroom house with swimming pool at the heart of the Barbury Castle Estate. Sharpridge Farm was built in 2008 and is approached via a near mile long drive at the heart of the Barbury Castle Estate, with spectacular south-easterly views over Barbury’s rolling acres beyond.

The property benefits from ample parking with a 3 car garage with drive way to the back of the house and further separate gravel driveway to the side of the house. The house has been beautifully designed with family living in mind, harmoniously linking the separate spaces to create one exceptional residence of more than 6800 sq ft.

The ground floor accommodation is centred around an impressive, wide entrance hall, which leads into a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and reception area. The reception room benefits from windows on two sides, allowing an abundance of natural light to fill the space while enjoying attractive views over the garden and surrounding countryside. The kitchen, while distinct from the main living area, remains seamlessly connected and features bespoke cabinetry, an Esse wood-burning stove, and a large central island, making it ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. The entrance hall also provides access to a more formal drawing room, complete with a wood-burning stove and double doors opening onto the patio and garden. Adjacent to the drawing room is a generous study/library, fitted with extensive built-in bookshelves and featuring double doors leading directly to the patio and swimming pool area. The ground floor further benefits from a cloakroom, boot room, utility room and integral garage.

The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms benefit from their own en-suite bath or shower rooms, as well as separate dressing rooms. A further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
The lower ground floor has been thoughtfully designed to provide self-contained annexe accommodation, offering excellent flexibility for guests, extended family or independent living. This level comprises two bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, a cloakroom, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a utility room, and a substantial storage room.

Externally, the property enjoys both a generous lawned garden and a low-maintenance courtyard-style garden. Enclosed by walls on three sides, the outdoor space offers a high degree of privacy, particularly around the swimming pool and pool house, creating an exceptional setting for relaxation and entertaining.

Offered unfurnished, this outstanding home is ideally suited to modern family living.

Please note: Shoots are operated on the Estate -let day(s) offered by separate negotiation. The estate also contains 2 race horse stables. An administrative Estate office and working sheds are located proximate to the house.
