Description

Welcome to The Paddocks a home that instantly wraps you in a sense of tranquillity and space. As sunlight pours through the vaulted hallway and the garden stretches seamlessly into your own open field, protecting your immediate views. It's easy to imagine lazy weekends, long countryside walks, and the comforting quiet of a no-through lane where the breeze carries only birdsong. Tucked into the heart of Ball Hill, this is a home that breathes with its surroundings. Originally a modest bungalow, The Paddocks has been re-imagined and extended into over 2,200 sq ft of beautifully balanced living space. Remodelled in 2019 with a careful eye for both form and function, this four-bedroom home marries crisp, light interiors and clean lines with a deep sense of flow and calm. With 2 acres of flat paddocks extending beyond the garden, including stables and outbuildings, this home is equally perfect for equestrian pursuits as it is for protecting those wonderful views across your own land. For families who love the outdoor life but cherish contemporary comfort, The Paddocks is just moments from a welcoming pub and garden centre, a longer walk to the wonderful Malverleys Farm and Dining, and has excellent schools, church, tennis club as well as a local shop and post office in nearby Woolton Hill. The market town of Newbury is less than 10 minutes away by car. There are strong transport links with the A34 and M4 close by, and Newbury station offers fast trains to London Paddington is around 42 minutes. At the heart of the home lies an open-plan kitchen/dining living space that's flooded with natural light from three sets of bi-fold doors. These open onto a sun-soaked terrace and beyond creating a seamless transition to the South East - facing garden and countryside beyond. Here, your days can begin with sun drenched breakfasts and end with al fresco dinners against a backdrop of fields and sky. The sleek kitchen, with its generous island, quartz worktops, and abundant cabinetry, is as sociable as it is stylish. Whether you're preparing a family supper, entertaining friends or hosting a party, the layout invites connection and ease. A spacious utility and boot room accessed from the kitchen or to the side of the house is a fabulous hardworking space for muddy boots and paws, with lots of storage cupboards, a sink and space for a washing machine and dryer. There is a ground-floor en suite, a Jack and Jill-style shower room offering convenience for family and guests alike, also leading to the generously sized downstairs bedroom. This offers privacy and flexibility ideal for guests and multi-generational living perhaps an additional study or playroom. Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures a cosy feel year-round. A separate study at the front of the house makes for a serene work-from-home spot, or could be reimagined as a TV snug. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is the owner's cherished sanctuary retreat. Full-width sliding doors open to a glass Juliet balcony, welcoming the first light of day and unbroken views across open fields. An en suite shower room and built-in wardrobe complete this tranquil suite. Across the light-filled landing, two further double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom complete with freestanding bath and walk-in shower offer comfort and calm for the whole family. The generous garden feels both private and open, with mature borders and lawn that flows effortlessly into two acres of private paddock your own slice of countryside. Whether you dream of keeping horses, cultivating a wildflower meadow, or simply enjoying the green space, the potential is yours to decide. Stables and outbuildings provide additional practicality, and a further 3 acres of paddock land could be available to rent.
