SITUATION The village of Upper Basildon sits on the edge of the Berkshire Downlands in an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ with far reaching scenic countryside surrounding it on all sides. The village itself offers a range of amenities including a parish church, community Post Office, highly regarded C of E primary school, and a traditional Public House serving local ale and food. A splendid new village hall which has become the centre for a variety of community sports and activities utilising its adjoining sports field and tennis courts exists also. A local bus company runs a limited service from the village to Pangbourne on Thames, Reading, Streatley on Thames and Goring on Thames, where a mainline railway station with fast commuter services up to London (Paddington) in well under the hour (25 minutes from Reading) can be found. Bradfield College, the well known Public School located some three miles from Upper Basildon, has excellent leisure, fitness and sports facilities including a large indoor swimming pool all of which are available for use by members of the public. The facilities also include squash, badminton and tennis courts, hockey and a 9-hole golf course. The village benefits from having its own well revered primary school, and in addition locally the area is extremely well served by an excellent range of both state and private schooling, of particular note; Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, Downe House, Cranford House, Moulsford Preparatory, Abingdon Boys and The School of St Helen & Katharine.
THE BEEHIVE The property occupies a commanding position in mature gardens and grounds of approximately 1.1 Acres privately approached off The Village Green in this picturesque Berkshire Downland village located in the scenic Thames Valley. Approached over a private gated drive which opens to a wide and spacious forecourt, the house stands well back in an attractive mature setting with a Covered Porch opening through to the main house. The Beehive is a magnificent country house listed Grade II dating back to the 15th Century and is of generous proportions individually designed and built incorporating impressive architectural flair which has been successfully blended with traditional construction methods and a period ambience throughout. Room proportions are spacious with many beamed ceilings of good height giving an added feeling of space and period elegance. There are impressive fireplaces in the Drawing Room, Family Room, and the Snug, with the ground floor reception rooms generally affording both a spacious open plan arrangement in addition to encompassing a more traditional layout where required. Adjacent to the main house there is a separate Annexe comprising generous accommodation to afford either separate guest living or a perfect office from home, alternatively part or whole of the building could be converted to form a spacious Garage/Workshop. GARDENS A private gated drive leads up to the property and a large spacious forecourt which extends along one side. Across the main frontage to the property there is a large enclosed lawned area with mature hedging and notable trees. The gardens and grounds amount to approximately 1.1 Acres, with the property being set well back in its plot, taking particular advantage of the private aspect and glorious far reaching views afforded over the adjoining rolling countryside. Indeed, a striking feature of The Beehive is that it benefits from a very high degree of tranquillity with the gardens as a whole being enclosed by a combination of fencing, mature trees and hedging. To the outside of the property there are extensive opportunities to either create recreational facilities for the family such as equestrian or sporting, or of course, facilitate ones keen interest in all realms horticultural.
