Marsh Cottage is a delightful and valuably unlisted three bedroom period property that is beautifully presented, with a mixture of neutral and modern décor and modern fittings complementing original features, such as open fireplaces and exposed timber beams and brickwork throughout. The ground floor has three well-presented reception rooms, with the well-proportioned family room featuring a grand brick-built fireplace with a wood-burning stove. There is also a comfortable snug, while the dining room is located in the light, modern extension with its vaulted ceiling exposed timber beams and French doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen and breakfast room has modern shaker-style units, wooden worktops and an Aga, plus space for a family dining table. The first floor has three double bedrooms including the principal bedroom with its adjoining dressing room. The first floor has a family bathroom and a shower room, while the ground floor provides a further shower room.

Marsh Cottage is in a unique setting with stunning views of the River Lambourn. There is no vehicular access directly to the cottage, but by foot via a neighbouring driveway. The cottage is surrounded by an enchanting country garden, with gravel pathways, paved terracing, lawns and meadows, spring flowers, numerous shrubs and mature trees. The River Lambourn flows gently past the end of the garden, with a quaint footbridge across the river and a peaceful riverside deck on which to relax.

The property is situated to the west of Newbury in the small rural village of Weston. The River Lambourn runs through the village, and with its idyllic water meadows it is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The nearby village of Great Shefford offers good local amenities with a shop, post office and public house. A wider range of leisure and shopping facilities is available in Newbury including cafes and restaurants, a cinema, the renowned Watermill Theatre and Newbury racecourse. Schooling is well catered for in and around the local area, with numerous sought after independent schools such as Cheam, Thorngrove, St Gabriel's School, Downe House, and Horris Hill, all a short drive away. Communications are excellent with a fast train service from Newbury into London Paddington taking a little as 42 minutes, and the A34 andM4 are easily accessible providing excellent links to London and the national road network.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 28, 2023

    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 April 28, 2023

    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
