Letcombe Bassett is a delightful village, in the lea of the Ridgeway. It’s the source of the Letcombe Brook which feeds the well-known and pretty Watercress Beds. Ideally located just three miles southwest of the thriving market town of Wantage, which offers a range of amenities for everyday needs, including pubs, cafes, independent shops and a popular Saturday market. Nearby Newbury and the historic University city of Oxford are also within easy reach, each providing a wider range of facilities.

Transport links are excellent, with a mainline train station in Didcot (London Paddington from 45 minutes). Wantage provides easy access to the A34 and M4 as well as the A417 between Reading and Cirencester and the A338 between Hungerford and Oxford.

The area offers a range of highly regarded schools, including all in Oxford and Abingdon, Downe House, St. Hughes, Pinewood, Radley, Bradfield and King Alfreds in Wantage to name but a few.

The house is set well back from the road, with a driveway leading to the extensive gardens to the front, side and rear. The rear garden is south-facing and has lovely views over the paddocks and countryside beyond.
There is a public footpath which crosses the field from Forsters Lane.
There is water to the field, also from Forsters Lane.
Currently the western boundary of the paddock/field is not fenced; the vendor will require a stock-proof fence post sale which will likely consist of post and three strand barbed wire, with sheep netting.

In all about 4 acres.
