Believed to date from the early 19th Century and Listed Grade II of Special Architectural or Historic Interest, Elmet House occupies an elevated position near the centre of the village and has views to the north across the Kennet Valley. Typical of this era of domestic architecture, the house has well proportioned rooms with good natural light. The current owners have undergone extensive sympathetic renovations and upgrading, including re-fitting the new kitchen and bathrooms, and the property was completely rewired and re-plumbed in 2018. The stunning kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and a smart Falcon range cooker, and the drawing room and sitting room both have attractive open fireplaces. In addition to the principal accommodation in the house there is a separate one bedroom cottage, as well as workshops and a garage block. The house stands in the centre of its partly walled gardens and a south-facing terrace adjoins the rear of the house, beside which is a sheltered dining area.
Accessed through electric gates, the property is approached across a private gravel drive leading to a large turning circle and parking area in front of the house. The beautiful gardens are mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by mature borders interspersed with a wide variety of shrubs and trees. Steps lead up from the terrace to the lawns where mature hedges divide the garden into separate areas, giving a sense of immense peace and privacy. To the west of the garden is the heated swimming pool, and to the south of the house is a wide paved terrace as well as an additional area under a pergola clad with climbing plants, ideal for entertaining or relaxing.
Elmet House lies within the village of Brimpton. The small village of Brimpton is set in a rural location between the popular Berkshire towns of Reading and Newbury. The village has a local pub and a primary School, while the nearby villages of Aldermaston and Woolhampton provide further everyday amenities, including local shops, pubs and a train station. Newbury offers a wider selection of amenities and leisure facilities, and there is an excellent choice of schools in the area, including Elstree, Cheam, Horris Hill, Bradfield College and Downe House. The area is well connected by road, with the A339 and A4 linking with the M3 and M4, providing fast access to London, Heathrow Airport, and the West Country.
There are excellent train services from Midgham station direct to London Paddington taking from 51 minutes, or from Basingstoke to London Waterloo in under an hour.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 21, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on September 7, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on July 13, 2022 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
