Greyladies is a stylish modern country house set in generous grounds with an exceptional outlook. Built about 30 years ago, Greyladies has the convenience of a modern house in an unspoilt rural spot away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The house sits nicely on the edge of The Ridgeway with amazing views, walking and riding country all around. Benefitting from 3,667sq foot of accommodation, Greyladies has comfortable living space, arranged neatly over two floors. The main reception rooms look over the gardens to the fields beyond and are bathed in natural light. There is a triple aspect drawing room, with access onto the terrace and a formal dining room with access to the conservatory and terrace, in addition to a sitting room and study, as well as the flexibility of a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor as part of an annexe. On the first floor there are 5 bedrooms, one is currently used as an office and 3 bathrooms.<br /><br />Greyladies is situated in the village of Compton, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of the Berkshire Downs. The village is surrounded by wonderful rolling countryside and is a very popular area for walking, riding and cycling. There is an active local community in the village and excellent local facilities including a post office, shop, doctors' surgery and The Foinavon pub. Within walking distance is The Bell at Aldworth which is considered to be one of Berkshire’s most popular ‘walking’ pubs. A wider selection of amenities can be found in Wantage, Newbury and Didcot. Newbury and Didcot both offer fast train services into London Paddington and there is easy access to the A34 and M4 (J13) linking with the national road network and providing good access to London in as little as 42 minutes. There is a wide choice of independent and state schools in the area, including The Downs School in Compton, Compton Primary School, Downe House, Abingdon, Bradfield College and Pangbourne College.<br /><br />The grounds at Greyladies are impressive and extend to approximately six acres. The house is approached via a long winding gravel driveway and culminates in a spacious parking area in front of the house for several cars. The drive also continues to a paved courtyard and triple double height garage block providing more parking away from the front of the house. The gardens are laid out in a traditional way with stone terracing close to the house and conservatory maximising the sun. Mature trees and shrubs punctuate the grounds and the design incorporates the beautiful open views beyond. To the side of the house is a substantial wildflower meadow which is stunning throughout the various seasons.
