High Street, Chieveley, Newbury, Berkshire, RG20

A beautiful period village house which has been modernised over the years to a very high standard.

The Forge
The property was once the village forge and whilst retaining much of its character including beams, brickwork and fireplaces has been thoroughly modernized over recent years.
The house is entered through a light and airy double height reception hall. The kitchen has been re-fitted to a very high standard with granite worktops, an island and an Aga. Double doors from the kitchen lead to the dining area which has an open fire and lovely panelling. There is also a useful boot room area off the kitchen.
The main sitting room is dual aspect and has an open fireplace housing a large woodburning stove. Off the sitting room is a well fitted utility room and study. The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom and from the hall are steps down to a useful cellar which has been converted by the current owners into a snug.
The first floor has a galleried landing overlooking the hall. There is a generous main bedroom with an adjacent bathroom, together with a large dressing area. The second double bedroom is just off this dressing area. A third double bedroom and family bathroom complete the first floor.
The house has a very secure south facing garden accessed through electric gates, ample parking and a detached single garage.
