Built in 1995, Blenheim House is a substantial family home which has been extended and modernised in recent years to create stylish and spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. The large entrance hall leads to the principal reception rooms with double doors opening into a generous, triple aspect drawing room to one side. A large bay window provides plenty of natural light, there is a beautiful feature fireplace with marble surround and French Windows opening onto the terrace and gardens beyond. To the other side of the hallway is the formal dining room with a bay window offering views over the front garden and there is a study at the back of the house with pleasant views over the back garden and adjoining woodland. The magnificent kitchen/breakfast room is certainly the heart of this home with a stylish
Smallbone kitchen, central island, an abundance of storage, integrated appliances, a range cooker and granite worktops. This wonderful open plan room opens into a large breakfast area with a roof lantern providing natural light, access to the terrace and lovely views of the garden. This is a perfect area for family gatherings and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is the family room with its vaulted ceiling and views over the front and rear garden. A large utility room with excellent storage and access to the garden, a separate pantry cupboard and a cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.
On the first floor, the galleried landing leads to the principal bedroom suite with dressing area, beautifully fitted bespoke wardrobes, en suite shower room and a balcony providing delightful views over the
back garden. The guest suite has a stylish en suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes and there are a further three double bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes and are served by the family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle.
There is a large, boarded loft providing scope to convert subject to the relevant permissions being obtained.
Gardens and Grounds
The house is approached via electric gates over a sweeping gravel driveway with parking for a number of vehicles, as well as a triple garage. There is a room above the garage which could be converted to provide ancillary accommodation, a gym or games room (subject to the relevant permissions being obtained). The driveway is flanked on one side by mature laurel hedging providing privacy and there is a large area of lawn and well stocked flowerbeds to the front of the house. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and there is a paved terrace off the back of the property, accessed from the drawing room and itchen/breakfast room, creating an ideal al fresco dining space. The area of woodland at the far boundary and the mature
planting provide colour and interest, within these private gardens.
Blenheim House sits in an enviable position within Goring Heath; a pretty rural hamlet in an Area of
outstanding Natural Beauty between the Berkshire Downs and the Chiltern Hills. The Thameside villages of Goring and Pangbourne are both around 3 miles away and provide a comprehensive range of local facilities and a main line rail link to London, Paddington within the hour. The attractive market town of Wallingford is just 7 miles away and has a range of antique shops, local facilities and a Waitrose. Reading has a wider range of amenities including a train station serving London, Paddington in about 27 minutes.
The local area is served by a first class range of schooling for all requirements. In particular, The Oratory, Radley College, Bradfield College, Cranford House and Moulsford preparatory schools, as well as having good links to Oxford for further schooling.
The area is also extremely well served for sporting facilities including golf, clay pigeon shooting at The Royal Berkshire Shooting School, horse riding, walking, and racing at Newbury and Ascot.
