The area is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is crossed by a network of pathways and bridleways. Nearby Woolhampton and Upper Bucklebury provide a range of local facilities including a post office, village stores, public houses and purpose built doctors surgeries and clinics. The market town of Newbury offers a more comprehensive range of shopping, recreational and leisure facilities. There are also several golf courses and fitness centres nearby. Local theatres include the Corn Exchange in Newbury and the Watermill at Bagnor. The property offers excellent access to the M4 or A4 and to mainline railway services at Theale or more locally via Midgham station in Woolhampton. London Paddington is less than one hour away. Description This delightful property is a period cottage which was converted from a late 19th century stable block in the 1950s, creating a sympathetic blend of character and light contemporary living space. The cottage was purchased by the current owner 45 years ago and was originally two cottages, which were then combined into the one house. Great care has been taken in the design of the layout to maximise the space available. The ground floor has two good sized reception rooms, both of which enjoy open fire places and French doors to the south facing garden. The kitchen dining room also enjoys views over the garden and has plenty of storage and space for a good sized kitchen table. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and a family shower room. Outside The property is approached via a gravel driveway that leads to parking for several vehicles in front of the excellent double garage. There is scope to develop the garage as further accommodation for the house, subject to the usual permissions. There are lovely countryside views to the front of the property and to the rear there is an enclosed south facing garden with a terrace area perfect for dining al fresco. Directions From Upper Bucklebury, leave the village heading east towards Chapel Row. After about 0.7 miles take the right into Carbinswood Lane.

The scheme was launched because holidays can mean an extra burden for poorer families whose children are eligible for free meals during term-time. According to a report by the MK Community Foundation, one in five children in the town are living below the poverty line. That figure struck the Revd Paul Oxley, who runs St Mark’s MK – a fresh expression of church. The national Make Lunch website states: “...in 2012, when the Archbishop of Canterbury asked a group of secondary school pupils whether they were looking forward to the summer holidays that were about to start, they said no, because they wouldn’t be able to get their free school meals while the school was closed.” Vicki Offin, from St Mark’s, did the Make Lunch training and the scheme began in October 2015 with 23 hot, nutritious meals being served. This was followed up in February with 109 meals being served over the two days and at Easter, 124 meals were served. Vicki spoke to the Door during the spring half-term week, between Make Lunch sessions.
