Outstanding Grade II listed period property offering extensive accommodation, outbuildings and equestrian facilities.
Description
Whitway House is a well presented Grade II listed detached residence offering in all 6,288 sq. ft. of bright and flexible accommodation, arranged over three floors. The ground floor accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious dual aspect drawing room, a dual aspect sitting room with feature fireplace and a well-proportioned dual aspect dining room with feature fireplace.
The ground floor accommodation is completed with a dining/breakfast room, opening into the fully fitted kitchen with a range of units and integrated appliances together with a useful neighbouring utility room with cloakroom.
The first floor offers a principal bedroom suite with dressing room and spacious en suite bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower. There are five further bedrooms all serviced by a contemporary family bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower.
The house also provides a lower ground floor, currently configured as two play rooms.
Outside
Set well back from the road, Whitway House is approached over a driveway leading to a large gravelled courtyard offering turning and parking for multiple vehicles and with access to the garage and carport. An outdoor swimming pool with terrace to the rear of the house creates a stunning setting for the property and is an ideal space for summer entertaining.
There are fabulous rural views over fields and towards Watership Down.
The outbuildings are arranged around the courtyard and include a modern office/studio with vaulted ceiling. Behind this there is a large dual aspect gym and neighbouring pool house with endless smart pool, both of which overlook the manege. There is also a barn with two sets of double doors, ideal for a variety of uses, together with a hay barn, pump room, oil tank store and stores including a machinery store, oil tank and wood store.
The property’s four stables have internal lighting and the external hard standing has under canopy lighting and benefits from an extended canopy overhang. The stables overlook the all-weather floodlit manege and there is a separate access to the stables and equestrian facilities allowing a degree of separation from the main house.
Location
Whitway is situated just to the south of Burghclere, ideally located to the north of the North Wessex Downs and close to the well-known local areas of Beacon Hill and Watership Down, both designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty offering superb recreational opportunities.
The village of Burghclere has a church, public house, primary school and secondary school. Newbury and Basingstoke provide a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities. Communications in the area are excellent with regular fast train services to Paddington from Newbury and to Waterloo from Basingstoke. The A34, M4 and M3 give excellent road access to Heathrow airport, London, the Midlands and the West Country.
There is an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways in the area giving access to excellent countryside. There is racing at Newbury, Salisbury and Bath and fishing on the Kennet and Lambourn. Private schools in the area include Cheam, Elstree, Horris Hill, St Gabriel’s, Thorngrove, Downe House and Marlboorugh College (32 miles away) for weekly boarding. All times and mileages are approximate.
