The AreaSnelsmore

Situated a short distance to the north of Newbury, Snelsmore offers country living at its finest. Set on the edge of the magnificent Berkshire Downs, it’s an idyllic spot with inexhaustible options for lovers of the outdoors. Newbury, with its large open market square and famous castle ruins, is a bustling market town is suffused in history. But what you might not know is that Newbury is home to a fresh and energetic vibe, stoked by some great independent shopping, a sparkling array of dining options and a thriving café culture. If that wasn’t enough, Snelsmore is within very easy access to some outstanding schools, great leisure facilities and abundant footpaths. With both Reading and Oxford within striking distance, Snelsmore is very well-connected to some of London’s fastest rail-links and is well positioned for both the M4 and A34.

Schooling in the area is excellent, both state and independent, including Pinewood, The Manor, Elstree, Brockhurst & Marlston, St Helens & St Catherines, Cothill, Radley and Marlborough to name but a few. The market towns of Hungerford, Newbury Marlborough and Wantage are all within easy driving distance, and the large town of Swindon provides extensive facilities.  M4 junction 14 is 6 miles away providing excellent links to London and Bath and to further major road networks.

Bussockwood, SnelsmoreAbout this home

Bussockwood House is a beautiful Grade II Listed substantial house of over 10,000 sq. ft. (plus the annexe). The property dates from 1907 and is in the Queen Anne style. It was designed by Mervyn Macartney – a surveyor of St Paul’s Cathedral. The property is surrounded by woodland which encompasses the remains of Bussockwood Camp, an Iron Age hillfort. The property has been in the same family since the 1950’s and has great further potential. It has the wonderful feel of a classic period property with good ceiling heights and natural light. The reception rooms are of good scale and the accommodation throughout is well proportioned. The reception rooms allow a real flexibility as to how they could be used. Many of the bedrooms are double aspect, with views onto the surrounding pretty gardens and countryside beyond. Everything here is about scale, with gardens of around 3.5 acres and a further 116 acres of land and woodland. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn, interspersed with established flowerbeds. There is also Bussockwood Cottage and the Coach House, both with three bedrooms. Another circa 50 acres of land and further accommodation is available by separate negotiation.
