The stunning gardens and grounds are fully mature and provide a particularly beautiful backdrop to the house. Horris Farm has been in the ownership of the current owner's family for fifty years and the grounds have been thoughtfully designed and carefully maintained over this considerable time. The gardens immediately around the house have been cleverly designed to create different terrace areas and rooms, surrounded by intensely planted herbaceous borders and specimen shrubs creating a beautiful outdoor environment. Steps lead up to the formal lawns which lie beyond. There is a beautiful sheltered garden surrounding the swimming pool which has been designed with specimen topiary hornbeam around the pool itself, and a substantial pool house and covered dining area adorned with a stunning mature wisteria. The pool house acts as a separate cottage in its own right, with a kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom. The pretty covered dining area provides shade when needed, and also has a log burning stove for cooler Summer evenings bythe pool. There is also a hard tennis court well screened from the house by the pool house and studio, as well as a vegetable garden and large greenhouse. The wider environment at Horris Farm incorporates mature parkland which winds down to the edge of the river. Majestic oak trees punctuate wild flower meadows with attractive paths cut through them in the summer months. There is also some mature woodland on the fringe of the grounds. Horris Farm is approached via a private lane leading to the entrance of the property, beyond which is a large gravel turning area in front of the house. There is a public footpath along part of the section of the private lane owned by, and leading to Horris Farm. It should be noted that there will be a development overage covenant on part of the title being offered for sale, further information is available on request.

Newbury offers a wide choice of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs in the high street, market place and Parkway shopping area, as well as larger supermarkets, including Waitrose, on the edge of the town.

Road and rail communications are excellent with easy access to the A34 and M4 linking with London, Heathrow Airport and the west country, and there are direct train services from Newbury into London Paddington.
