Description

This three-bedroom detached chalet-style home in the sought-after Castle Lane area of Donnington Village presents a unique investment opportunity. Nestled in a mature, elevated garden, the property offers a serene setting within walking distance to Donnington Castle and its picturesque countryside trails that lead to Snelsmore Common. The accommodation features spacious and luminous living areas with large UPVC double-glazed windows. A welcoming reception hallway includes useful understairs storage that leads into the kitchen, dining room, and a generously sized double-aspect sitting room with access to the garden. The ground floor also accommodates a versatile third bedroom or study. Upstairs, you'll find two double bedrooms enjoying scenic countryside views and equipped with eaves storage, in addition to a family bathroom featuring a shower. Externally, the property boasts valuable outbuildings including a double garage, workshops, and a traditional Shepherd’s hut with wood-burning stove. The well-established cottage garden is thoughtfully designed for privacy with terraced areas and wrap-around lawns. Originally built by the current owner, this home represents an ideal canvas for modernization. Potential for extensions exists (subject to planning permission), making it an attractive proposition for buyers looking to enhance its value further. Located in a village known for its character—complete with a local pub and cricket pitch—and excellent educational options for families, this property stands out as an exceptional opportunity in Newbury's desirable market.
