Mileage Newbury: 13 miles, Reading: 21 miles, Basingstoke: 5 miles London Waterloo from Basingstoke 43 minutes. (All mileages and times are approximate) Situation Ramsdell is a pretty rural village situated south east of Newbury near the villages of Kingsclere and Baughurst which both offer local amenities. The property is superbly placed for the major centres of Newbury, Reading and Basingstoke offering more extensive facilities and of course excellent access to the M4 and M3 motorways and main line rail services to both London Paddington and Waterloo.

The area provides an excellent mix of state and private schools of all levels including the highly thought of Priory Primary School within Pamber End. Other local facilities include numerous country pubs and various local shops catering for day to day needs including a large supermarket at nearby Tadley. Accommodation The property is a beautifully presented detached family house built by Westbuild and later extended in a similar style.

This character property has a spacious hall leading to the principal rooms, including a sitting room with inglenook fireplace, a dining room with a beamed ceiling and a study overlooking the front garden. A further door from the sitting room leads out to a very generous conservatory overlooking the gardens and from here a further door leads in to the attached garage/ studio space which could hold further potential if needed – the owners were granted planning permission for this space together with the office above to be converted to a self contained annex. This planning has now lapsed but the potential may still be there for this or a multitude of other uses, especially for the classic car enthusiast, or it could be adapted for garage use.

The first floor of the house offers a spacious landing leading to a well presented master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with separate shower. There is also a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a family shower room. Outside The property is approached over a gravel drive forming a parking area for several vehicles. Beyond this there is a raised and lawned front garden. To the side of the house a paved terrace leads to the rear garden which has been thoughtfully landscaped and includes terraces and decked areas for seating and a feature pond. There are two pergolas providing further shaded seating areas and several mature flower and shrub beds, the mature gardens offer excellent privacy and are enclosed by a mixture of panel fencing and mature hedgerows..
