Gramercy House is situated in an attractive lane in this very popular village just north-west of Newbury. Hampstead Norreys is a lovely, favoured village 7 miles north-east of Newbury in the Pang Valley. It has a vibrant village community, with a church, popular pub, an award-winning local community shop/café, cricket club that plays on the nearby Dean Meadow, fantastic village hall and well-regarded primary school.
