Outside, lying to the east, is a range of former outbuildings which have been converted into a self-contained annexe (currently let on an assured tenancy) and a cottage. Both properties provide a useful income throughout the year and could be adapted to other purposes.
The property has a pretty mature garden laid to lawn with herbaceous borders, shrubs and a variety of mature trees, as well as two terraces and an ornamental pond.
Crockham House is situated in an excellent position just three miles to the west of Newbury, and local services are available at Wash Common, Woolton Hill and Kintbury.
The guide price is £1.25m. For further information please contact Jackson-Stops & Staff on 01635 45501 or visit www.jackson-stops.co.uk.
