Delamere House is an impressive, un-listed family house built in the Art Deco period. It occupies a wonderful, slightly elevated position in a prime residential road on the edge of the village. The house has fantastic living space with generous sized reception rooms all centred around the large
reception hall creating an ideal entertaining space. The house is decorated in neutral tones throughout creating a light and spacious feel. The kitchen/dining room links through to the large family room and this combines to make a fabulous family living space ideal for today's modern lifestyle. The kitchen is well fitted with painted wooden cabinets and an electric Aga, and there is a charming fireplace with woodburning stove at the dining room end. The drawing room has an attractive open fireplace and large windows overlooking the garden. There is also a generous sized study with an Art Deco style, part-glazed wall. Upstairs a wide landing area is filled with natural light, off which there are 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, all good-sized and with a charming outlook across the gardens. In the family bathroom there is a sauna, currently used for storage but which could be reinstated if required. A door from the landing opens onto a balcony that runs along the front of the house. A spiral staircase leads up to a wonderful additional living space, currently used as a playroom/family room overflow accommodation.

The house is approached from the lane across a sweeping gravel drive. The beautiful gardens surround the house with a formal lawn at the front and a more intimate garden area to the rear and side of the house. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees, hedges and shrubs. There is a timber framed car port with space for 2 cars, and plenty of additional parking. There are also two very useful garden stores, originally stables. Folly Road is a no-through-road and a short distance beyond Delemere House the lane ends and becomes the Ridgeway trail which offers miles of fabulous open space and stunning walking and riding countryside.

Delamere House is situated on the edge of the village and is ideally placed to enjoy the excellent local facilities as well as the fabulous countryside. Lambourn offers a wide range of amenities including a primary school, choice of village shops, doctors' surgery, butcher, bakery and various pubs. Lambourn is at the centre of the racing world in what has become known as 'The Valley of the Racehorse'. Nearby Wantage, Hungerford and Newbury provide a range of shopping and leisure facilities catering for almost all day-to-day needs. There is an excellent range of schools in the area including Lambourn, Ramsbury, Shefford, Chilton Foliat and Ashbury primary schools, Pinewood,
