A fabulous 6 bedroom Elizabethan country house, dating back to the mid to late 16th century, with some later additions. Occupying a unique, unspoilt, peaceful and rural location, and also includes a stunning 17th century Tithe barn.

Set in approximately 1.57 acres to include gardens, grounds, pony paddock and woodland. The interior of the property has high ceilings, with windows giving lots of light and a number of the rooms have vaulted ceilings.

Hawkridge Farm is a wonderful family house, with many beautiful period features, for example, the eccentric and stunning corner turret containing a fabulous winding oak staircase to the principal bedroom. All the rooms have wonderful views, either over the beautifully landscaped gardens, or the surrounding natural countryside. Hawkridge Farm is Grade II listed.

Approached by a pretty and peaceful lane, the property is within walking distance of the Pot Kiln; a country Inn and wild food restaurant. There are lots of footpaths and bridle paths in this area, with many a horse and rider stopping off at the Pot Kiln for a quick drink en route.

The Tithe Barn is a wonderful example of 17th century timber framework with excellent examples of peg beams to the ceilings and walls, with two sets of double entrance doors. The barn could be used for housing vintage cars, or additional accommodation subject to LAPP.

The extremely well-maintained gardens stretch around the property and are a delight in all seasons. From a sheltered York stone laid terrace flanked by rockeries and a small pond, the sweeping lawns reach to the post and rail gated pony paddock, and a further gate to the very pretty woodland owned by the property.

There is an attractive courtyard to the front with main access to the property, and there is a useful secondary access to the east wing, which could be used as a self-contained annexe.

Located in a sleepy, peaceful and unspoilt part of the countryside, yet within easy driving distance of the M4, local schools, Newbury, Reading, and lovely local villages such as Yattendon, with its fine hotel/restaurant/pub The Royal Oak, and a splendid and unusually well-stocked general store with Post Office, owned by the Yattendon Estate.
