Additionally, nearby institutions such as St. Andrew’s School in Pangbourne, Bradfield College, Wellington College, Downe House and Elstree Preparatory School are well-known for their academic excellence, further enhancing the area’s appeal to families seeking top-tier education for their children.

Bluebell Barn, ComptonAbout this home

Believed to date back to the 18th century, Bluebell Barn is invaluably un-listed and sits in an AONB, surrounded by rolling downland countryside. Whilst the conversion over recent years has been extensive, many of the original features that you would expect to see in such a building remain, including vaulted ceilings and exposed Elm beams. The result is a barn conversion of spectacular proportions, ideal for modern family living. The interior borrows from its surrounding landscape with large windows and high vaulted ceilings, altogether complimented by the timber framework throughout the house. Arranged over two floors, five ensuite bedrooms provide ample living accommodation, as well as home office, together with a number of outbuildings, as well as a gym. In all, the property sits in 3.48 acres of garden and paddock land.
