Crux Easton, Newbury, Hampshire, Rg20

AN INDIVIDUAL DETACHED FOUR BEDROOM HOUSE WITH A SOUTH WESTERLY FACING MAIN GARDEN, A LONG EXTENDED GARDEN AREA AND BEAUTIFUL OPEN COUNTRY VIEWS, QUIETLY SITUATED IN THE HAMLET OF CRUX EASTON WHERE PROPERTIES RARELY COME TO THE MARKET

An individual detached and extended house with brick elevations beneath a tiled roof. The accommodation comprises a useful entrance hall, living room with fireplace, dining room and kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a ground floor double bedroom with doors into the garden and an adjacent bathroom. On the first floor there a three bedrooms and a bathroom, all with excellent country views. Outside the property has two driveways for parking, a single garage, substantial shed and summer house (currently used as a home office). The grounds amount to 0.39 acres with the main garden enjoying a south westerly aspect. There is also an additional narrow strip of land extending to 100m that has been used for vegetables, grazing for goats and chickens. We believe there is great scope to extend the property subject to planning permission.

The property enjoys a quiet rural setting in Crux Easton, a small rural hamlet with few properties and a dead-end at the far end minimising the traffic to just those that live there, their visitors and deliveries. There is a late 18th Century Church, St Michaels & All Angels, open country views and fantastic walking. The Hamlet is set deep into The North Wessex Downs an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with surrounding villages offering some amenities while Newbury is about 7 miles to the north and Andover and Whitchurch are about 9 miles south, all offering trains to London within about an hour.
