Our agency team is offering The Bussockwood Estate, near Newbury for sale at a guide price of £8,900,000. The country estate, with panoramic views, is based on the edge of the Berkshire Downs and has been placed on the market for the first time in around 70 years.
Bussockwood House, the superb Queen Anne-style principal property which dates to 1907, is Grade II Listed and was designed by Mervyn Macartney, a surveyor to St Paul’s Cathedral. It retains many original period features and includes an impressive entrance hall, central drawing room, dual aspect library, study, generous kitchen/breakfast room and dining room. It also features a master bedroom with an ensuite and dressing room and around 8 further bedrooms.
Approached by a mature tree-lined avenue, it includes an adjoining flat, domestic outbuildings, and gardens, and is surrounded by woodland which encompasses the remains of Bussock Camp, an Iron Age hillfort. The 170-acre estate also includes an additional four houses and three bungalows.
One of our partners and Head of our National Country Agency Team, Matthew Allen, said: “This is an incredibly unique opportunity to purchase a magnificent 170-acre country estate benefitting from panoramic countryside views and private wooded areas, which is based right on the edge of the stunning Berkshire Downs.
“Bussockwood House is architecturally impressive having been designed by Mervyn Macartney and includes splendid features including vaulted ceilings, several handsome fireplaces and sash windows, and boasts delightful gardens and grounds.
“It now requires some sympathetic modernisation and updating but will create a very special and unique family home. The estate also includes several additional dwellings.”
