Ivy House is a beautiful brick and flint village house with a particularly attractive Georgian facade, with earlier origins. The house is beautifully presented, cleverly combining the original character of the property with a modern, contemporary style, creating a very smart and comfortable family home. The house benefits from large, Georgian-style sash windows throughout providing plenty of natural light within the house. The ground floor is well laid out and the rooms flow well, making it ideal for entertaining. There is a wonderful, well-proportioned drawing room, with an open fireplace and a big bay window with a window seat overlooking the garden. There is also a good sized sitting room/study and a formal dining room. The kitchen is an excellent, more recent addition to the original house, with a large central island, painted wooden cabinetry and a 4-door electric Aga. In addition, there is also a separate party room/reception room in the detached converted barn adjacent to the house, just across the courtyard from the kitchen. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, and a spacious fifth bedroom and bathroom on the top floor.

The delightful garden is mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by mature hedges and shrubs, mixed flower borders and a beautiful brick and flint wall. There is a delightful raised terrace with a sitting area overlooking the garden towards the yew hedge and greenhouse beyond. Behind the house is a delightful sheltered courtyard which gives access to the party room, garage and utility room. There is also a useful machinery store/garden shed. The property is approached from the village lane and there is parking to the side of the property beside the garage.

Ivy House is situated in the very popular village of Shalbourne, close to the shops and amenities available in Hungerford, and surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. The village offers excellent local facilities including a primary school, village shop/post office, pub, tennis club and cricket club. There are direct trains into London Paddington from both Hungerford and Great Bedwyn stations, and the popular market town of Marlborough offers a range of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops, as well as a cinema and weekly market. Newbury caters for most other day-to-day needs. Road and rail communications are very good with easy access to the M4 (J14) and the A34, providing fast links to London, Heathrow Airport and the West Country. There is a wide choice of schools in the area including Shalbourne primary school in the village, Inkpen primary school, St Francis Pewsey, Cheam, Marlborough College, St John's Marlborough, Dauntsey's and Downe House. Dauntsey's school provides a bus service that picks up and drops off in Shalbourne.
