Penwood Grange

Introduction

Penwood Grange is believed to date in part from the late 1600's and has been added to over the generations. Originally part of a larger house, (indeed the neighbours are demolishing their side and reducing it to stores only) it is a delightful family home, and a rarity, as there are about 40 acres of which about 18 acres are paddocks and pasture and 17 acres are woodland, with the remaining 5 acres being gardens and grounds.

Location & Situation

Penwood Grange is just outside Penwood, between Highclere, Burghclere and Newbury, in north-west Hampshire. The setting is distinctly rural, surrounded by woodland, mature trees, and paddocks. The property is approached from Penwood Drove, a quiet country lane serving a few houses and Penwood Garden Centre. The area is well known for its beautiful countryside, and is within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape. Newbury is about 4 miles away with an extensive range of shopping, recreational and professional facilities. Newbury station is about a quarter of an hour's drive, from where fast trains to London Paddington take 40 minutes.

Penwood Grange

Approached by a gravel drive for 100 yards, there is a wide turning area by the annexe and a path leading to the front door. The house, built of mellow brick under tiled roof has 4 reception rooms, 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, particularly remarkable is the timber framed dining room. 

On the ground floor: spacious entrance hall, drawing room, dining room with stunning views of the garden, study, kitchen / breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom. On the first floor are the principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom and dressing room. A further three bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the top floor are two bedrooms one of which has plumbing for a bathroom and an office which can also double up as further bedroom if required.

The Gardens

The gardens are a feature with extensive lawns shrubberies and mature trees giving a park like impression. The Rhododendrons and Azaleas are a wonderful sight in the early summer. Beyond the paddocks is an enchanting area of woodland and glades full of Daffodils and Bluebells in the Spring.

Annexe and Garage

A separate annexe provides useful ancillary accommodation and could suit a variety of purposes including games room or guest accommodation. The garage provides useful covered parking and storage.

There is a second garage near the entrance.

Equestrian Facilities

With separate access from Fox's Lane are the stables, paddocks and schooling facilities. The driveway leads down to the stables and horsebox parking.

The grazing is gently sloping, with a level area, large enough for an outdoor school.

The equestrian facilities form an important element of Penwood Grange. The stables provide practical accommodation for horses and associated storage and working areas.

There are four loose boxes, a storage barn, a tractor shed and a tack / feed room. Hard standing / wash down area. In addition are four field shelters used for additional stabling.

There is an extremely useful circular woodchip canter track and a schooling track which has been used for training racehorses and point to pointers, under a BHA permit with great success.
