Pillarbox Cottage is a charming property offering attractive part-rendered, part-tiled and red brick elevations outside, while inside there are exposed timber beams, original fireplaces and elegant, understated décor throughout.
The ground floor has a central reception hall with slate tiled flooring and an impressive brick-built fireplace, fitted with a woodburning stove. A square arched entrance leads to the comfortable drawing room with its French doors opening onto the rear garden, while there is also a sitting room with a cast-iron fireplace.
Additionally, the ground floor has a well proportioned kitchen and breakfast room with farmhouse-style fitted units, a central island, integrated appliances and a range recessed into the fireplace.
Beyond the kitchen is the utility room providing further space for storage and appliances, as well as a cloakroom which could be adapted to create an additional shower room.
Upstairs there are four comfortable double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with its en suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom and a study area which could be utilised as a dressing room or a nursery.<br /><br />At the front of the property, gates open onto the gravel driveway, which offers plenty of parking space and double gates leading to the rear garden. The garden includes an area of patio across the back of the house and beyond, a lawn with timber fencing to one side and dense woodland to the other. At the end of the garden there is a barn and a workshop, both of which provide garden storage.<br /><br />Pillarbox Cottage sits in a pretty, rural setting, two miles north of Newbury, surrounded by the rolling countryside of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, yet also within easy reach of all of the necessary everyday amenities.
