Seller Insight

This house stood out to me for the its garden, it’s a good size for a new build. The reception space is great too - I didn’t need 4 bedrooms really but I do like the feeling of space, and this has it.

The rooms are all generous and very bright so it has a wonderful feeling of calm and is perfect for entertaining – there’s always plenty of space for us all. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, living area, it’s a lovely sociable space and I like the garden view.

The quiet location had real appeal to me. I’m away from the road so there’s no traffic noise. I have a lovely outlook from the sitting room so it’s very private even though I’ve got houses around me.

The house has been built to a high standard so it still feels like a new house and it’s very easy to keep clean. It’s quite low maintenance really and very practical.

The neighbours are all very nice, I’ve got to know those around me and see others walking around the estate and playing in the children’s play area, it has a lovely community feel.

We’re surrounded by countryside here with some fantastic walks. My favourite walk goes over to The Fox Inn at Tangley about 7 miles away, they do fantastic authentic Thai food there. He has a stand at the Wednesday market in Hungerford and there’s always a queue, well worth a try. The market is great, I buy veg, fruit and bread there and it’s well attended.

By foot Hungerford town centre is half a mile away, I like The Plume pub and also The Tavern by the train station for drinks and a game of pool. The Downgate by Hungerford Park does a brilliant Sunday roast, as does The Plough at Eastbury. We’re spoiled for choice around here really.

Newbury is only 15 minutes away, if I’m going out for drinks I get the train which runs every half hour so it’s pretty easy to get around from here, whether you drive or not. Marlborough is just over 15 minutes away and very good for independent shops, Andover is half an hour away and great for supermarkets and retail parks.

I’ve been very happy here. I moved here from Newbury when I retired but spend so much time in Cornwall visiting my daughter I’ve decided to move down there. I’ve repainted the house ready for the new owners, so it still feels like new.

Location

Hungerford is an historic market town in the North Wessex Downs of West Berkshire. Named as the best town to live in Berkshire in 2021*, the pretty town centre is well known for its antique shops and fairs, boutiques, markets and friendly community.

The Kennet and Avon canal meanders through the town offering beautiful waterside walks. There’s a great choice of restaurants and cafes for formal and informal dining along with a local theatre with a regular program for all ages.

Most of the shops are independent traders selling a great choice of clothes, gifts, food, jewellery and antiques, attracting day visitors for its pretty period properties and friendly atmosphere.

Hungerford hosts regular markets selling fresh produce, textiles, gifts and antiques. The Victorian Christmas Fair is very popular along with the Hocktide and Tutti Day festivities, it’s believed Hungerford is one of the last villages to follow these traditions!

Beyond Hungerford, the towns of Newbury to the east, Marlborough to the west and Andover to the south provide an excellent choice for shopping, dining and recreation.
