High Street, Hungerford, Berkshire, RG17

A rare opportunity to acquire two period homes that share beautiful gardens and have the bonus of an additional one bedroom annexe.

Description

Having remained in the same ownership for over 20 years, this is a rare opportunity to acquire two charming period properties together with a separate annexe, all enjoying access to a delightful shared courtyard and mature gardens. Offering an exceptional degree of flexibility, the properties present a unique prospect for multi-generational living, investment, or the creation of an impressive family home, subject to any necessary consents.

No. 93 High Street forms the principal residence and provides spacious, well balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. The property is entered via a hallway with a welcoming sitting room positioned at the front of the house, the hall leads through to a walk through dining room and on to the kitchen/breakfast room beyond, it also benefits from a useful W/C. Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms served by a family bathroom, creating an ideal layout for family living.
Adjoining No. 93 is a self-contained annexe comprising a kitchen, shower room and an open plan bedroom/living room and over looks the beautiful lower garden. The annexe offers excellent versatility and could be utilised for guest accommodation, dependent relatives, home working or ancillary income. Alternatively, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, it could be incorporated into the main house to create additional living accommodation.

No. 90 High Street is a charming three bedroom cottage with plenty of potential. The accommodation comprises a sitting room and kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, together with three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. Offering a blank canvas for a new owner, the property presents an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to update and personalise the interior to their own specification.

Externally, the property benefits from a beautiful garden with mature planting and established borders, providing a good degree of privacy. The garden is arranged into four large sections, offering a variety of spaces for relaxation, entertaining and gardening. An expansive terrace provides ample space for outdoor dining, while a number of fruit trees, including apple, quince and fig, feature throughout the grounds. A mature magnolia tree is a particular highlight. The attractive courtyard, accessible from all three properties, links the accommodation and provides a useful shared outdoor space. To the rear the garden area incorporates a useful shed and offers additional space for cultivation or recreation. With its size, maturity and abundance of potential, the garden provides the perfect canvas to create something truly special.
