Freehold

Description

Willscot is a charming, purpose-built home constructed in 1953, blending traditional design and materials. Originally built for Dr. John Hawkey as both a residence and a general practice consulting room, the property has remained in the family all these years and is now owned by his daughter. In 2017-18, the house underwent thoughtful modernisation, including a redesigned and refitted kitchen and the addition of an extra bathroom on the first floor. A separate, brick-built double garage and workshop provide ample storage, and there is extensive parking on the gravelled in-out driveway. Set in a peaceful, secluded location, Willscot boasts uninterrupted views of the Downs and the Ridgeway. The expansive south-facing gardens, featuring mature shrubs and trees, extend to the front and rear of the property. Beyond the gardens, a grass paddock, a wildflower meadow, and a picturesque chalk stream, feeding into the Letcombe Brook. Altogether, the grounds extend to over 1.5 acres (0.62 hectares), creating a haven of natural beauty and tranquillity. Access from Manor Road is via a private lane shared with two homes - Folly Close and Little Orchard, along with the Football Club. With wonderful accommodation including five reception rooms, four bedrooms and two bathrooms, Willscot offers a unique blend of history, modern comfort, and natural beauty, making it a truly special home.
