4 bedroom detached house for sale

Welcome to The Paddocks - a beautifully redesigned contemporary country home where light, space and landscape come together effortlessly. Set within just over 2 acres of private gardens and paddocks, the property enjoys a rare sense of openness and tranquillity, with uninterrupted views across its own land creating a wonderfully calm backdrop to daily life. Tucked along a quiet no-through lane in the heart of Ball Hill, The Paddocks offers the increasingly rare combination of peaceful countryside living with the comfort of a friendly rural community nearby. Here, neighbours wave hello, local walks begin from the doorstep, and the surrounding landscape changes beautifully with the seasons. Extensively remodelled and extended in 2020, the house now offers over 2,200 sq ft of balanced, light-filled accommodation designed for modern living. Clean architectural lines, vaulted spaces and carefully framed garden views create interiors that feel both contemporary and deeply connected to the outdoors. At the centre of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, flooded with natural light from three sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the raised terrace and garden beyond. Whether hosting summer lunches, cosy winter gatherings or quiet mornings with coffee overlooking the paddocks, the house has been designed for easy entertaining and relaxed everyday living. The sleek kitchen combines generous storage with quartz worktops and a large central island, while a separate study provides an ideal work-from-home space or additional snug. Underfloor heating here adds warmth and comfort year-round. Adjacent to the kitchen and with an external door, the utility/boot room is very generous in size. With a range of cupboards, a sink and space for multiple appliances, this is a room that caters to lovers of the outdoors. Whether you have a dog, horse or just love country walks, this room is for shedding muddy boots, drying wet clothes and paws, as well as washing and drying laundry. Next door, there is a downstairs shower room and WC which can be accessed from the utility/boot room or from the snug/downstairs bedroom - again a versatile guest room perhaps with a sofa bed to allow for an additional playroom or TV snug. Another flexible consideration the current owners built into the design of this lovely home. Upstairs, the principal suite is particularly special, with sliding doors opening to a glass Juliet balcony overlooking the grounds and countryside beyond. Coffee in bed on a Sunday morning would be particularly relaxing whilst taking in your own protected view. Two further double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed large family bathroom (including a freestanding tub with velux window over) continue the calm and understated feel found throughout the home. Beyond the garden, the adjoining paddocks offer flexibility rather than obligation. Ideal for those with ponies, dogs or simply a love of open green space, the land could equally become a beautiful wildflower meadow or natural haven, all while protecting the exceptional outlook from the house and principal bedroom suite. Existing stables and additional outbuildings provide practicality without overwhelming the setting. Despite its peaceful setting, The Paddocks remains remarkably connected. The Furze Bush pub, Yew Tree Garden Centre and the renowned Malverleys Farm & Dining are all within easy walking distance, while nearby Woolton Hill offers everyday amenities including a village shop, schools, post office, tennis club, church and doctors’ surgery. Newbury is less than 10 minutes away by car, with direct rail services to London Paddington in around 42 minutes (for Waterloo, Whitchurch is around 15 minutes by car and trains take less than 50 minutes) and there is excellent road access with the A34, M4 and M3. The Paddocks is a home for buyers seeking something increasingly hard to find - contemporary country living with space, privacy, community and convenience, all wrapped within an effortlessly beautiful rural setting. And a completely protected view with your own field directly behind. The Paddocks offers the best of both worlds: timeless country living, with everything you need just a heartbeat away. NB. The Paddocks is registered with two separate titles. The house and garden is on one title and the equestrian land is on another. The land (not the house and garden) has a 50% uplift imposed for development that adds value - details on request.
