A fine Victorian rectory on the edge of a downland village

the old rectoryBRIGHTWALTON • WEST BERKSHIRE

The property

The Old Rectory was constructed between 1873 and 1874 by the famous

Victorian architect, George Edmond Street. Street, who set up his own

practice in 1849, was one of the first architects of the Revival period who

wished to show ‘how effective gothic architecture might be made where

it simply depends for effect on artistic proportion’. His most celebrated

work is that on the Law Courts which was started in 1866. Today The

Old Rectory, having been restored during the 1980s, now requires

updating throughout.

The property sits well within its land with extensive views over neighbouring

farm land. The property is well appointed, offering approximately 7578 sq.ft.

of living accommodation (704 sq.m.) including the ground and first floor flats,

which could easily be re-incorporated into the main body of the house. On the

ground floor are 4 well-appointed receptions with the possibility of creating

further reception areas by incorporating the ground floor flat whist over the

first floor are 6 double bedrooms, with 3 bathrooms and the potential to

create further bedrooms and bathrooms by incorporating the first floor flat.

BRIGHTWALTON • BERKSHIRE

Garden and Grounds

The Old Rectory sits well in its 2 acres of garden and grounds which include

formal areas of lawn, herbaceous borders with mature trees, plants and

shrubs. In addition there is a hard tennis court, a swimming pool with pool

house, both requiring some updating.

The Coach House

The Coach House is a truly special building with a vaulted sitting/kitchen/

breakfast room, two bedrooms and a bathroom off. This would be an

ideal granny annex, potential rental investment or just additional living

accommodation for the house.

Coach House Coach House

Situation

The Old Rectory occupies an edge of village position within Brightwalton, a

rural village high on the Berkshire Downs in an Area of Outstanding Natural

Beauty and within a Conservation Area. The village is positioned 12 miles

north of Newbury and 6 miles to the south of Wantage and has a well-run

primary school which has been running for some 60 years. There is also

the Church of All Saints which dates back to the Domesday (1086) but was

almost completely rebuilt in 1861 in a gothic Revival style possibly under

the guidance of George Edmund Street.

The property is well located for communications, being only

7 miles to the north of Junction 13 of the M4, 7.5 miles to the

A34 and 12 miles to the south west of Didcot which provides

a fast and regular train service to London Paddington taking

approximately 45 minutes. Oxford is 21 miles by car.

The larger commercial centres of Swindon, Oxford and

Reading are all within easy commuting distance and the local

market towns of Hungerford, Wantage and Newbury provide

excellent day to day facilities including, a Waitrose, Marks

& Spencer and John Lewis in the latter town. The village of

Chaddleworth is approximately 1.5 miles away and has a farm

shop and public house.

The surrounding downland provides excellent opportunities for

riding and walking with a number of footpaths and bridleways in

the immediate area.

All distances and times are approximate.
