7 bedroom detached house for sale

Hewins Wood House, Bradfield, Reading, BerkshireAgents View... Set quietly within the rolling Berkshire countryside, Hewins Wood House is a rare kind of home - one that balances character, space and future potential in equal measure. Approached via a long, private driveway and surrounded by approximately 39 acres, the setting feels wonderfully secluded. The house itself dates back to the late 1800s, with later additions that have shaped it into a versatile, multi-layerled home suited to modern family life. Inside, the accommodation unfolds across a series of generous reception spaces, each enjoying far-reaching views across the gardens and paddocks. Period features remain throughout, adding warmth and a sense of heritage, while the overall layout offers flexibility for both everyday living and larger gatherings. Upstairs, the bedrooms provide well-balanced accommodation for families of all sizes, with further versatility offered by a separate annexe and cottage - ideal for guests, extended family or independent living. Beyond the house, the grounds are where this property truly stands apart. Formal gardens transition into paddocks, woodland and open countryside, with established equestrian facilities already in place. A substantial range of outbuildings adds another layer of opportunity. Importantly, planning permission has been granted for the conversion of existing buildings into a number of residential dwellings. This creates genuine scope - whether that’s for multi-generational living, generating additional income, or a more considered development project. It’s a rare chance to shape an already special setting into something even more significant. Homes like this don’t come along often. A private estate, a family home, and an opportunity - all in one.
