Situation
The quiet, rural village of Compton is set in the folds of the rolling Berkshire Downlands, in an “A.O.N.B.” and has a long history, being mentioned in the Domesday Book and with local evidence of earlier Roman occupation.
The beautiful flint walled Parish Church of St Mary and St Nicholas retains some Norman features and there are numerous examples of attractive, period cottages and houses, including the Grade II Listed 17th Century Compton Manor, reflecting the growth of the village over the centuries from its earliest origins as a small hamlet and in particular the expansion of the village over the last 150 years.
The village is now a thriving community with a village Post Office Stores, Hotel with restaurant and excellent primary and secondary schools, notably the Downs Secondary School which has built up an enviable reputation for academic standards in recent years and now boasts its own VI form and excellent Ofsted ratings.
In addition to having well revered local state primary and secondary schooling, the area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of private schooling, of particular note; Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.
Farming has always been important to the village and is still a major way of life today. The village also has a long-standing connection with the breeding and training of racehorses with a prominent racing yard still existing in the village and with many other well-known training establishments in the area.
Compton has good road communications, notably via the fast A34 dual carriageway at East Ilsley some 2 miles to the West linking Newbury and Oxford and with the M4 easily accessible at Junction 13 (Chieveley). The nearby expanding town of Didcot has an established shopping centre and a mainline station providing fast commuter services up to London (Paddington via Reading) in well under the hour. Reading and the M4 at Theale (Junction 12) can both be reached via a quiet cross-country route as can Goring-on-Thames which also has a mainline station and is easily accessible.
To the North of the village lies the ancient Ridgeway Path which winds its way over the Downs eventually crossing the Thames at Streatley and on up into the Chilterns.
Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) services have commenced from Reading, with the full service scheduled to commence shortly, which together with the completed electrification of the line has significantly improved travelling times to East and West destinations.
Property description
Studio House is a most delightful and impressive period residence, which is privately situated within part-walled and gated gardens, just a short walk to the village primary and secondary schools, and village shop, with a mainline railway station located just a short drive away, providing direct access to London in under the hour.
Internally, most spacious and well-appointed characterful yet contemporary accommodation is afforded, with a wealth of stylish period features to be found in abundance, evident on first entering the property as one enjoys the grand galleried reception hall, with views through the main house out through the orangery and beyond to the gardens.
Having traditional Berkshire Blue and Red brick elevations under a multi-pitched and gabled tile roof, externally the property displays proudly its architectural roots, whilst in more recent years, it has been sympathetically extended and modernised, successfully blending in the old and new elements, whilst retaining period ambience with a modern flair. This has created a most stunningly characterful yet contemporary home extending to approximately 2,312 Sq Ft, which affords an inspired offering of both traditional and modern living, providing 4 bedrooms, inclusive of a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a family bathroom, 5 reception rooms, including a grand galleried reception hall, and a detached double garage, encapsulating its stunning mature gardens and grounds and private surroundings.
Located off the rear courtyard, to one side of the garden, there is a detached annexe, stylishly appointed, affording a mezzanine studio room, kitchen / sitting room, and shower room.
A simply wonderful opportunity afforded, and quite rare indeed to the open market, early viewing of Studio House is highly recommended.
Outside
Quietly tucked away on the heart of this quintessential English village, Studio House is most privately situated part the way up Cheap Street, behind part-walled gardens and grounds.
Timber five bar gates open onto a spacious gravelled driveway, with the double garage off to one side. The front garden is well planted with clipped hedging and borders containing a variety of interesting plants and shrubs together with a number of specimen trees, providing a sheltered aspect and leads up to the grand galleried reception hall.
Part-walled formal gardens with spacious lawned areas wrap their way around the front, side, and rear of the house, with simply wonderful beautifully colourful planting providing a haven to enjoy throughout the seasons, and with combination brick and stone flagged pathways and terraces interspersed throughout, affording a most encapsulating environment. Carefully designed and landscaped areas of the formal gardens afford their own enjoyment, whilst collectively providing a most stunning backdrop from the house itself, with a tucked away vegetable garden to the very rear of the grounds, adjacent to a traditional workshop shed and greenhouse.
Simply stunning, and beautifully mature and well cared for, the gardens themselves are only enhanced by the peaceful and sheltered setting, and the attractive period attributes of Studio House, and in all, extend to approximately 0.20 of an acre.
