Description

This four-bedroom residence is situated on a generously sized, elevated plot in the desirable village of Shalbourne, presenting notable potential for both renovation and expansion, pending the necessary planning permissions. The property comes to the market with the advantage of no onward chain. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a practical entrance porch that provides space for boot storage. This leads into a central hallway that connects to all ground-floor areas. The sizable dual-aspect sitting and dining room offers an inviting atmosphere for relaxation or hosting gatherings, complemented by a west-facing conservatory that adds versatility to the living space. At the rear, the kitchen overlooks the garden and includes built-in pantry storage for added convenience. A separate reception room presents an opportunity for use as a study or playroom, while a cloakroom completes this level. The first floor features a bright landing leading to four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are spacious doubles equipped with integrated walk-in wardrobes, while two additional singles offer good dimensions; one benefits from built-in storage features. The outdoor area is particularly noteworthy, providing an expansive garden primarily laid to lawn and featuring mature trees that enhance privacy. There are two garages—one at either end of the driveway—offering substantial parking options and additional storage solutions; one garage even includes loft space for further utility. This property stands out not only for its ample outdoor space and solid structural foundation but also for its location within Shalbourne. The village is enveloped by the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasts local amenities such as a church, pub, village shop with post office, and excellent sporting facilities including a sports field and tennis court. Commuters will appreciate convenient road access to J14 of the M4 just seven miles north, alongside frequent train services from Hungerford and Great Bedwyn to London Paddington (approximately 60 minutes), with Marlborough and Newbury being around 10 and 12 miles away respectively. This property represents an exceptional opportunity to modernize and add value in a tranquil village setting rich with community resources.
