Location

Sandalwood is approached over a bridge and across a gravel drive in the sought-after village of East Garston which nestles in the Berkshire Downs to the west of Newbury. The village has an active social community and its own local facilities, including a social club, village hall, church and a well-reviewed local pub. There are also allotments, a playground and sports pitches within the village. In addition, there is an extensive network of public footpaths including the Lambourn way providing access to the surrounding countryside. Hungerford lies approximately 5 miles away with more comprehensive facilities in Newbury, approximately 9 miles away. Both towns have mainline stations with services to London Paddington (circa 1hr) and the West Country. The village is ideally positioned for access to the M4 motorway with junction 14 being within 4 miles.

Description

Sandalwood House is a stylish and modern family home, recently refurbished to a high standard. It is entered via an enclosed porch leading to a large sitting-breakfast room, which has recently been refitted with a Wren kitchen with built-in Neff appliances, brand new Brandon chase flooring running throughout and a double-fronted wood burner. To the left of the enclosed porch is a spacious sitting-dining room with a wood burner and French doors to the terrace and gardens, which provide superb light and frame the views beyond. To the rear of the house is a large utility/double garage with a room above which is glazed at one end with views over the river. This room is currently being used as an office but could easily be a fifth bedroom.

On the first floor is a large principal suite with superb views of the surrounding countryside. There is a further guest suite and two further bedrooms which share a bathroom and both have access to a shared balcony overlooking the garden.

The garden is 0.87 acres and lies to the south and south-west of the property. It is predominantly laid to the lawn with an orchard of apples, pears, plums and cherries and borders of ornamental shrubs. There is an outdoor office with heating power and water.
