House For Sale £475,000
Mallard Cottage is a charming period cottage,
full of character and with many original features
still in place. The property has been a muchloved
home for many years, and is now in need
of some modernisation and refurbishment. The
accommodation includes a good-sized entrance
hall which leads through to the galley-style
kitchen with fitted wooden cabinets and a
window overlooking the garden to the rear.
There is also a small utility room/cloakroom off
the hall. The dining room looks out across the
terrace and garden and opens into a spacious
sitting room, with an attractive brick fireplace
and exposed beams. Beyond the sitting room is
the study/office. Stairs from the kitchen lead up
to three bedrooms and a family bathroom on
the first floor. Two of the bedrooms have lovely
views across the garden to the surrounding
countryside and there is excellent storage space
throughout the house.<br /><br />Mallard Cottage is situated in the hamlet of
Easton, midway between Newbury and Great
Shefford, and is surrounded by beautiful rolling
countryside. There are good local amenities
available in Great Shefford and Wickham, both
having well-regarded primary schools and
popular pubs and there is a small shop in Great
Shefford. The nearby pretty market town of
Hungerford offers a wide range of shops and
cafes, and Newbury provides for most other
everyday needs including large supermarkets,
a wide range of shopping, and leisure facilities
including Newbury racecourse, several nearby
golf courses and the Watermill Theatre at
Bagnor.
Communications in the area are excellent with
easy access to the M4 and A34 linking with
London and the west country, and direct trains
from Newbury and Hungerford into London
Paddington. There is an excellent choice of
schools nearby including Cheam, Elstree, Downe
House, Marlborough College, Bradfield College
and St Gabriel's, as well as primary schools in
Great Shefford and Wickham.<br /><br />The garden is a particular feature of the
property, and is mainly laid to lawn and
surrounded by mature trees, hedges and shrubs
providing a beautiful setting and feeling of
privacy. The main garden is south facing and
there is a lovely paved terrace running along the
length of the house, edged with raised flower
borders, and steps leading up to the lawn. The
terrace is ideal for outdoor entertaining and
enjoys the sunshine for most of the day. There is
a wonderful view over the surrounding farmland
from the top of the garden and the area offers
excellent walking and riding opportunities. The
property is approached from the village lane
across a gravelled parking area and there is a
timber framed double garage with adjoining
workshop/potential office space.
