4 bed detached house for sale

Harts Lane, Newbury RG20

Offered to the market with no onward chain, Laburnum Cottage is a charming Grade II listed thatched home, dating back to 1677, set within a generous plot of around an acre. Steeped in character and surrounded by nature, this unique home offers not only an idyllic village lifestyle but also exciting potential for future development.

Neighbouring the renowned Sandham Memorial Chapel (National Trust) and a welcoming village pub, the property enjoys an enviable position at the centre of this quintessential English village. Despite its peaceful setting, the A34 and M4 are within easy reach, making it an ideal retreat for commuters seeking countryside living without compromise.

The cottage itself is brimming with period charm. Inside, you’ll find four bedrooms, three/four versatile reception rooms, a quaint kitchen/breakfast room, and a well-appointed four-piece suite bathroom. The layout lends itself to flexible family living while offering ample opportunity to enhance and reimagine the spaces to suit modern lifestyles.

Outside, the grounds are truly special. The gardens are both expansive and intricate, full of character, and offer wonderful potential to landscape further or simply enjoy as they are. A sweeping driveway provides plenty of parking, complemented by a car barn and various outbuildings, prime for conversion or development, subject to the necessary consents.

This is more than just a home, it’s a chance to become part of the village’s story and to enjoy the best of country life, all while remaining well-connected
