The Grove is a property of enormous character and charm; it is believed to date from the 18th century with later additions and is not listed. The current owner has occupied the house for 45 years, which has great potential to be updated and modernised.

The rooms are well-proportioned and include a wonderfully light, west facing drawing room with an open fire and door leading to a sheltered terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room with AGA and larder overlooks the front garden.

There is a formal dining room with a parquet floor and a sitting room, and the hallway has a snug/study area.

The principal bedroom overlooks the attractive garden and has an adjacent bathroom and dressing room/bedroom seven. There are four further bedrooms, a study/bedroom six and a family bathroom.

Outside
The property is approached via a gravel drive leading to a parking area and ample space for several cars. A separate drive to the south of the house leads to the garaging, stables and various outbuildings.

The pretty gardens surround the house and are mainly laid to lawn with various trees and shrubs, including rhododendron and approximately 100 roses. There is a summer house and two greenhouses, one with a vine believed to be 100 years old. There is a grass tennis court (now unused), a woodland belt and a fenced paddock with access to the lane.


The Grove is situated in North End, a small village about 6 miles southwest of Newbury, at the foot of the Hampshire/Berkshire Downs and in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This area is well-known for its attractive, gently undulating countryside with winding country lanes.

The nearby villages of Woolton Hill and Kintbury provide local day-to-day amenities, both with a doctor's surgery. More comprehensive services are available in Hungerford and Newbury.

There are excellent communications with access to the M4 and A303 via the A34 and by rail via Newbury station to London Paddington or Whitchurch to London Waterloo. Several well-regarded schools in the area include Cheam, Horris Hill, Brockhurst and Thorngrove, Marlborough College, Pangbourne College, Bradfield College, Winchester College, St Gabriel's, Downe House and St Swithun's.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on November 15, 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 November 15, 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
