Wyld Court House is an 18th Century Grade II Listed house situated in a wonderful setting in the centre of its grounds, approached by a long private chestnut tree lined drive with open views over the Yattendon Estate's farmland.

Its private and secure setting ensures privacy for the occupants with southerly far-reaching views across the countryside farmed by The Yattendon Estate.
The property comprises four well-proportioned reception rooms - a dual aspect drawing room opening directly onto the southern terrace and private lawned garden area, a large dual aspect dining room on the northern elevation, a separate sitting room with door opening out onto the terrace and a library with separate bar area.

There is a good sized kitchen with electric AGA, separate oven and hob and integrated appliances with breakfast room to the side, utility area and cloakroom off the back of the kitchen, and cellar below the kitchen.

The first floor provides a principal bed suite, complete with dressing room and two bathrooms, three further ensuite bedrooms and a further bedroom with separate family bathroom.

Second floor provides a further two bedrooms, shared bathroom, reception room and kitchen / diner with further storage rooms. This floor has been used for live in staff with access provided via rear stairs down to the utility.


Wyld Court lies in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an area renowned for its ancient woodlands, dramatic scarps and rolling fertile valleys, all of which are linked by large tracts of chalk downland.

Nestled in the northeast corner of the AONB, Wyld Court lies a mile to the east of Hampstead Norreys, a picturesque village that is centred on the River Pang chalk stream which flows south into the River Thames. The village offers a local community shop and a pub. Yattendon village is also close to the house and lies to the south, with two highly regarded pubs (The Royal Oak and The Pot Kiln), Renegade brewery with associated taproom, a village shop, a florists and café. To the east lies the village of Ashampstead which is home to the award winning Vicars Game Butchery and Farm Shop. To the north is the village of Aldworth with two pubs, The Bell Inn and The Four Points.

The surrounding countryside provides a wealth of opportunities for outdoor adventures, whilst the varying topography offers miles of dedicated walking trails and bridleways including the renowned Ridgeway National Trail.

Wyld Court is conveniently placed to take advantage of the local amenities available in the idyllic market town of Newbury which lies 8.5 miles to the southwest and offers a wide range of professional services, an array of independent and high street shops and restaurants, cultural and leisure facilities. In addition, Newbury is within striking distance of numerous historical and sporting facilities including the Newbury Racecourse, The Corn Exchange and the famous Highclere Castle, home of Downton Abbey.

Whilst Wyld Court has a real sense of privacy, the house is in a highly accessible location with excellent communication links. The M4 and A34 are both close by providing easy access to both London and Oxford respectively. There are a number of railways stations in the area, including Theale, Newbury and Reading, with the latter providing a direct route into London Paddington within 25 minutes. Just to the north of Wyld Court is a private airfield run by The Yattendon Estate.

The area offers an excellent choice of private and state schools including the Downs School in Compton, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Thorngrove and St Gabriel's in Newbury and The Abbey School, Reading Blue Coat and St Joseph's College in Reading. Additional secondary schools nearby also include Bradfield College, Abingdon, Pangborne and Radley College.

The estate is ideally positioned to take advantage of all that Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Hampshire have to offer. For the traditional country sportsman, local hunts include the Old Berks and Vine & Craven, whilst The Yattendon Estate adjacent to the house, offers shooting on a commercial let-day basis. There is horse racing both locally at Newbury and further afield at Ascot and Royal Windsor whilst the West Berkshire, Theale and Newbury & Crookham golf clubs are all within 12 miles of Wyld Court .
