The Ridge, Thatcham, RG18

Completed in March 2018, Clover House offers comfortable modern living and wonderful equestrian facilities within an idyllic country setting. Situated in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property provides spacious and versatile accommodation ideal for family life.

Upon entering the ground floor you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall. This leads onto four reception rooms, including a superb dual-aspect drawing room with bi-fold doors opening onto a spectacular terrace and a stunning fireplace housing a log burner. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, boasting a large central island and a comprehensive range of sleek, high-quality units. Next to the kitchen is the large formal dining room, providing the perfect space for entertaining. The family room, complete with solid oak sliding doors, offers flexibility to divide into two separate spaces if desired, which could be utilised as a home office, playroom or extra bedrooms downstairs. A spacious utility room and a shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the master suite features a large bedroom, elegant dressing room, and luxurious en suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms, each with their own en suite, provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests.

Clover House is approached through electric wooden gates onto a gravel driveway, providing ample parking in addition to the double garage. To the rear, the terrace enjoys far-reaching views across the gardens and open countryside. The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 4.35 acres, combining formal lawns with paddock land interspersed with specimen trees, offering a peaceful and private setting.

In 2023, the property was enhanced by the addition of exceptional equestrian facilities, designed to a high specification and suited to either private or professional use. These facilities include a 45m x 25m sand and fibre arena, three large stables beneath an extended canopy, a hay barn, tack room, and a double field shelter, all set on a fully surfaced all-weather turnout area. The land is currently arranged with three paddocks and a track/Equicentral system, providing year-round grazing and turnout options, with the flexibility to operate as a traditional yard if preferred. Off road hacking can be enjoyed via direct access to the Eling Estate and Bucklebury Common.
