Description

This distinctive three-bedroom detached chalet-style residence is located in the desirable Castle Lane of Donnington Village. Nestled within a mature and elevated garden, the property is conveniently situated near the historic Donnington Castle, providing picturesque views and access to scenic countryside walks towards Snelsmore Common. The home features spacious and airy living spaces with ample natural light, thanks to large UPVC double-glazed windows throughout. Central heating is provided via a gas-fired system. Inside, the welcoming reception hallway includes understairs storage and leads to a functional kitchen and a dining room. The generous sitting room boasts a double aspect and opens to the garden, while a third bedroom or study completes the ground floor layout. Upstairs, two double bedrooms offer stunning countryside views along with eaves storage, complemented by a family bathroom that includes a shower. Outside, you will find valuable amenities such as a double garage, workshops, and even a traditional Shepherds' hut featuring a wood-burning stove. The well-established cottage garden, complete with terracing and wrap-around lawns, provides privacy and charm. Having been owned by the same family since it was built, this unique property represents an exceptional opportunity for modernization. While it offers comfortable living space as-is, there is significant potential for renovations or extensions (subject to obtaining planning permission). The home stands in one of Newbury’s most sought-after areas which enhances its investment appeal. Early viewing is strongly encouraged to appreciate its full potential.
