Burton House is in a very secluded setting on the edge of Burghclere and Newtown Common. The property is conveniently close to the town which has a wide range of shops and services including the Parkway Shopping Centre, a number of private sports and health clubs as well as The Watermill Theatre and a six screen cinema. The town also has a wide range of sporting facilities including swimming pools, golf courses, squash and tennis clubs and Newbury Racecourse. The rivers Kennet and Lambourn provide opportunities for fishing and the area is well known for its unspoilt rural landscape providing opportunities for walking, cycling and riding. The area is also well served with an excellent choice of state and private schools including Horris Hill, Elstree School, Brockhurst, The Clere School, Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, Radley College, Marlborough College, Downe House, Cheam School and St Gabriel’s. Burton House

Burton House was built in 1937. It stands in an elevated position protected by the adjoining woodland and enjoys lovely views over the gardens and grounds to the North Hampshire Downs which lie to the south west. Although the house has undergone successive renovation and modernisation programmes it has changed little since it was first built. There are many original features such as the fireplaces, wooden floors, doors, picture windows and cornices. The lady who built the house had interests in Canadian timber where much of the wood used in the house came from. The layout of the house provides excellent family accommodation but there is considerable potential to extend and modify, subject to planning permission.
