Midgham Park, Reading, RG7 5UG

Formerly the stables of the prestigious Midgham House, this beautifully presented country property sits idyllically within parkland.

Arranged over two floors, it offers elegant accommodation throughout.

The hallway leads to a cloakroom and an impressive drawing room with an attractive fireplace with log burner and double doors to the terrace.

There is also a separate dining room and a fully fitted kitchen with further access to the terrace/courtyard.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes, an ensuite shower room, and lovely garden views, shared by the two additional bedrooms.

The landing and second bedroom both provide excellent storage. Unique, characterful and immaculately presented, this is a rare home in an enviable parkland setting.

Outside Approached through the impressive gates of Midgham Park, a long, picturesque driveway lined with sweeping parkland creates a truly memorable arrival.

Nestled within a charming cluster of period homes, Walnut Cottage enjoys a wonderfully private setting.

A generous gravelled area provides ample parking for several vehicles, and from here a delightful pathway leads through secluded, beautifully tended gardens to the house.

The grounds are a particular feature, arranged in two attractive sections.

The first offers a central pathway, lawned areas, colourful flower borders, mature shrubs and raised vegetable beds — a perfect blend of beauty and practicality.

A wrought iron gate beneath an elegant archway opens into the garden adjoining the house, which is mainly laid to lawn and features a sunken patio, ideal for relaxed al fresco dining and entertaining.

Two timber sheds offer excellent additional storage, completing the appeal of these delightful grounds.

Situation The property is located between the thriving commercial centre of Newbury and Reading which both provide excellent shopping, leisure and night life.

The village of Woolhampton is a short walk away and has 2 pubs, local shops, a Post Office and a main line railway link (Midgham) to London Paddington with services under an hour.

This is a fabulous riding country with lots of bridle paths and walks nearby.
