Pretty family house in Berkshire
Those looking for a country house without all the associated headaches, but still with character might be interested in Crockham House

Crockham House is a perfect family country property surrounded by farmland on the outskirts of Enborne, three miles west of Newbury in Berkshire. The house itself is modern, and was built in 1983 using old stock bricks, tiles and oak timbers to create a comfortable modern property with character.
Reception rooms are generously proportioned, and south-facing, and there are four very comfortable bedrooms, all with views of the garden and the countryside beyond.

Outside, lying to the east, is a range of former outbuildings which have been converted into a self-contained annexe (currently let on an assured tenancy) and a cottage. Both properties provide a useful income throughout the year and could be adapted to other purposes.
The property has a pretty mature garden laid to lawn with herbaceous borders, shrubs and a variety of mature trees, as well as two terraces and an ornamental pond.
Crockham House is situated in an excellent position just three miles to the west of Newbury, and local services are available at Wash Common, Woolton Hill and Kintbury.
The guide price is £1.25m. For further information please contact Jackson-Stops & Staff on 01635 45501 or visit www.jackson-stops.co.uk.
