8 bedroom detached house

The Cedars is a classic Grade II listed Georgian
village house with sweeping lawns down to the
River Kennet and views to rolling hills beyond.
The core of the house dates back to the 17th
century and the larger principal reception
rooms at the front were added in about 1800.
These rooms benefit from full height bow
windows with original shutters, looking down
over the south-facing gardens. The house has
been renovated in recent years and is now a
stylish country home with all the benefits that
Ramsbury has to offer on its doorstep. There
are four main reception rooms, three of which
have the characteristic full-length bow windows
and all benefit from open fireplaces and plenty
of natural light. The drawing room, sitting room
and hallway all have beautiful original cornicing
dating from about 1800. The house is spacious
and boasts over 6,000 sq ft of accommodation
yet retains a comfortable and intimate feel
and provides a fantastic living space for
both family life and entertaining as required.
The accommodation is flexible, having five
bedrooms and four bathrooms on the first floor
and a further two bedrooms and a bathroom on
the second floor. In addition, there is a potential
annexe or guest suite on the ground floor where
there is currently a bedroom, bathroom and
kitchen/living room. As with the main reception
rooms, the principal bedrooms face south with
views over the River Kennet and rolling hills.

The Cedars is situated in the middle of
Ramsbury, a very sought-after village
with excellent local facilities and fabulous
surrounding countryside. There is a thriving
village community and a village shop, post
office, doctors’ surgery, primary school and
gastro-pub. Hungerford and Marlborough
provide a wide range of amenities including a
Tesco supermarket in Hungerford and Waitrose
in Marlborough as well as a number of smaller
independent shops and cafes, and nearby
Newbury caters for most other needs. There is
easy access to the M4 (J14) and the A34, linking
with London and the West Country, and stations
in Hungerford and Newbury provide direct train
services into London Paddington. There is an
excellent choice of highly regarded schools in
the area including Pinewood, Elstree, St Frances
Pewsey, Marlborough College, Dauntsey’s,
Downe House and Bradfield College, as well as
Ramsbury primary school in the village.

The gardens total approximately 1.23 acres
and there is a lovely south-facing stone terrace
looking over the sweeping lawns to the view
beyond. The swimming pool and tennis court
are well positioned and screened behind a
high brick wall clothed with flowering shrubs
and climbers. There is also an attractive brick
and flint summerhouse, which would make an
amazing office/workspace in a beautiful setting
by the river. There is a generous garage complex
and plenty of parking behind electric gates and
a high brick wall.
