Battens Chapel Cottage is a wonderfully presented converted chapel that in part dates back to circa 1850 with additions in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The current owners have updated, extended, and significantly improved the property. The original reception hall leads into a spacious living room with a vaulted ceiling, Gothic arch and stained glass windows. There is a Clearview wood burner stove which is set in a bespoke Bath stone fireplace.

The kitchen/breakfast room has a Rayburn cooker, natural slate stone floors, and underfloor heating. Bedrooms two and three are on the ground floor. A wrought iron staircase leads up to the gallery/mezzanine. This could be used as a study/additional sitting room or even an additional bedroom.

There are French doors leading to the front garden. To the rear of the garden there is a wonderful large traditional oak-framed barn with significant storage above. The barn would make an ideal annexe or home office (Subject to planning). All the utilities are already connected.


Battens Chapel Cottage is situated in a rural location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, set back from the road in the hamlet of Lambourn Woodlands.

The property is well placed for communications, being about 4 miles from the M4 (J.14) and 12 miles from Newbury, which connects to the A34 and M4, and offers a high-speed train service to Paddington.

The area is well known for its outstanding rolling countryside with many bridlepaths and footpaths. There are many state and independent schools in the area including Pinewood, Marlborough College, and Downe House.

Places of interest

    Situated on the River Dun in the Kennet Valley, the historic market town of Hungerford sits at the heart of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The North Wessex Downs is a unique landscape of tranquil open downland, ancient woodland and chalk stream, covering 668 square miles from Reading and Swindon to Andover and Devizes. At the same time, Hungerford is only four miles from the M4 motorway and has a direct rail link to London, so is very accessible. The fact that you can have lunch in a proper country pub and yet be in central London an hour later is a great attraction for many.

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

    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
