A handsome period house set in delightful gardens
Location
St Petrock House is situated in the popular village of Cold Ash just a few miles north of Thatcham and east of Newbury. The village has two primary schools, cricket ground, tennis courts, village hall, village shop/post office and 2 pubs. The village green hosts many sports including cricket and a thriving tennis club. To the north of Cold Ash is rural countryside and an extensive network of woodland walks. Newbury has an abundance of restaurants, theatres, cinema, shopping and recreational activities. There is an excellent selection of schools with two primary schools in the village and a choice of several secondary schools in Newbury and Thatcham such as the Kennet and St Bartholomew’s. There are also several highly rated independent schools either within Cold Ash or close-by such as Downe House, Brockhurst and Marlston, St. Andrews, Bradfield College and Elstree. Both Thatcham and Newbury have train stations offering direct access to London Paddington.
Description
St Petrock House is a well presented family home, believed to date from 1850 with some later additions and improvements. The accommodation is typical of the period with well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and large sash windows that you would expect of this age together with the useful utility rooms and cellar. The hub of the house is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room. The bedrooms are all of generous proportions, most benefiting from double aspect windows. The property boasts an excellent indoor swimming pool complex. The accommodation above the pool whilst currently being used as an office could easily be used as extra living space or a self-contained annexe.
Gardens and grounds
The house is accessed from the lane via a private graveled drive leading to the front of the house, with hard standing for several cars. There is a triple garage block with covered walkway leading to the boot room. The gardens are private and lie mainly to the south of the house, laid mainly to lawn and interspersed with mixed flower borders, mature trees and shrubs with a stunning backdrop of rhododendrons. To the north of the house and accessed from both the back door and swimming pool is a charming and sheltered courtyard with water features.
