Property description
Lane End Cottage is a characterful family home dating back to the 18th century, which in recent years has been renovated to a high standard.
The house now has the seductive feel of a well maintained period property, with a stylish and up-to-date interior. Of particular note is the large kitchen/breakfast room which flows seamlessly into a family living space, great for relaxing or entertaining, and from which, the French doors lead out to beautiful gardens. The original and oldest part of the house is the sitting room, which has an inglenook fireplace with a log burner and beautiful, exposed beams which have been sand blasted back to their original light oak colour. The living space opens to a dining area with an enclosed bar, and double doors into a study. There is also a generously proportioned utility room.
The accommodation at Lane End Cottage is extremely versatile with either one or two bedrooms and a shower room located on the ground floor, and a further three bedrooms and 3 bathrooms upstairs. The principal bedroom also has a dressing room with bespoke cupboards, and overlooks the wonderful views across the gardens and grounds.
Agents note: One or more of the landlords involved in the letting of this property is a relative of an employee of BNP Paribas
The house sits at the end of a turn circle gravel driveway in generous gardens with imaginative flower borders and sweeping lawns, providing a pretty backdrop for the attractive period house. There is also a vegetable garden featuring several raised beds.
There are extensive areas of lawn looking over the pony paddocks, and further equestrian facilities beyond. The paddocks, accented with beautiful mature trees, are post and railed and there is an impressive brick-built stable block and purpose-built manège.
The small village of Brimpton is set in a rural location close to the popular Berkshire towns of Thatcham and Newbury. The village has a primary school, while the nearby of villages of Aldermaston and Woolhampton provide further everyday amenities, including local shops, pubs and a train station.
Thatcham and Newbury offer a good selection of amenities and leisure facilities, plus an excellent choice of schools, including the highly rated Kennet School in Thatcham, Cedars School, Alder Bridge School, and independent schools including Elstree, Cheam, Bradfield and Downe House.
The area is well connected by road, with the A339 and A4 linking with the M3 and M4 providing fast access to London, Heathrow Airport, and the West Country, and there are excellent train services from Midgham station direct to London Paddington taking from 51minutes, or from Basingstoke to Waterloo in under an hour.
