A elegantly pretty house with delightful gardens in the heart of Berkshire, combining period character with modern living
Bringing together modern living with period features and manicured gardens, Glebe House, in Berkshire, is the perfect family home.


On a sunny day, it’s difficult not to be entranced by the pink-rose-covered façade of pretty Glebe House, in Warfield, Berkshire. For sale through Strutt & Parker at an asking price of £1.4 million, this elegant property combines period character with modern living, making it an ideal family home.
The interiors span 2,355sq ft, with, on the ground floor, four reception rooms – a fine sitting room, a large dining room, a snug and a convenient study – all littered with fireplaces, log burners, or overhead beams, plus a sleek yet rustic kitchen featuring a central island with integral breakfast bar, an Aga, and integrated appliances.
Upstairs are five bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, plus a family bathroom.
Outside, the beautifully kept gardens have manicured lawns and well-stocked beds, as well as a range of outbuildings that includes two stables, a summerhouse, garage, wood and bike stores. The grounds also offer lots of room for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation (there's a spot that's perfect for a hammock).
Glebe House is for sale at £1.4 million via Strutt & Parker — see more pictures or enquire with the agent for further details.

Annunciata grew up in the wilds of Lancashire and now lives in Hampshire with a husband, two daughters and an awful pug called Parsley. She’s been floating round the Country Life office for more than a decade, her work winning the Property Magazine of the Year Award in 2022 (Property Press Awards). Before that, she had a two-year stint writing ‘all kinds of fiction’ for The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, worked in internal comms for Country Life’s publisher (which has had many names in recent years but was then called IPC Media), and spent another year researching for a historical biographer, whose then primary focus was Graham Greene and John Henry Newman and whose filing system was a collection of wardrobes and chests of drawers filled with torn scraps of paper. During this time, she regularly gave tours of 17th-century Milton Manor, Oxfordshire, which may or may not have been designed by Inigo Jones, and co-founded a literary, art and music festival, at which Johnny Flynn headlined. When not writing and editing for Country Life, Annunciata is also a director of TIN MAN ART, a contemporary art gallery founded in 2021 by her husband, James Elwes.
