This substantial early 20th Century house, known as Bowdown Cottage, is a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a property that requires complete modernization. Situated in a secluded woodland setting and set within private grounds of approximately 3.4 acres, the property is located near the historic market town of Newbury, offering a wide range of shopping and leisure facilities. The house itself is an attractive period property, possibly dating from the 1920s, with spacious and flexible accommodation, including 5/6 bedrooms and large characterful open reception spaces. The property has a unique layout, with the potential to create a self-contained annex, and is surrounded by beautiful grounds, including lawns, potential paddocks, an orchard, and woodland. The property is approached via a long shared driveway and has a gravel drive, providing parking and garaging. With its secluded setting, private grounds, and potential for renovation, Bowdown Cottage presents a unique opportunity for an incoming purchaser to put their own stamp on the property and create a beautiful family home.
