Property description

Built in the 17th century, The Old House exudes olde world charm - original leaded light windows, exposed beams to most rooms and large inglenook fireplace. The house is listed as having connections to Charles Kingsley, author and rector of Eversley Church, which might account for the oak panelling to be found on the landing, reputedly reclaimed from the refurbishment of Eversley Church in the 19th century. The house was extended during the Georgian period, typified by expansive panelling, sash windows with internal wooden shutters and seating, marble fireplace and built-in domed wig cupboard to the side of the dining room fireplace.

The Old House is Grade II listed to preserve other notable features, namely the fireplaces to three of the bedrooms and the lathe and plaster ceiling in the kitchen. There are four double bedrooms, with en-suite to master, living room, dining room, entrance hall, kitchen, cellar and family bathroom.

A recently laid large patio looks out to the rear of the property over fields and orchards, the house being in the Eversley Street conservation area. In addition to this there is a detached double garage and driveway parking for several vehicles.

The current owners have recently undertaken significant maintenance to the property, particularly to the exterior; notable exterior features are the decorative barge boards to the front and side elevations. There are many other historical and original character features within the Old House which make it an ideal home for those who enjoy and appreciate period properties.

This property is situated in the historic village of Eversley. There is highly reputable and esteemed schooling in the area including Wellington College, Holme Grange, Eagle House and Ludgrove schools. Excellent sporting and leisure amenities nearby include the Nirvana and Pulse 8 Health Clubs, numerous horse riding schools, golf at Sand Martins, Bearwood and Bearwood Lakes and horse racing at Ascot, Windsor and Newbury.

Ideally situated for commuters with Crowthorne Mainline station only minutes away and Wokingham/Fleet/Winchfield Mainline stations within a short drive. In addition, both the M4 and M3 motorways are within easy reach. There are airports at Blackbushe and Farnborough, and London Heathrow and Gatwick Airports are also easily accessible.
