About this property

A stunning and exceptionally private
six-bedroom executive home with views
of the Lambourn Valley, with a detached
one-bedroom apartment

Constantia is situated on the western edge of
Lambourn, on a leafy, quiet road with views over the
rolling Lambourn Valley and gallops used by the racing
stables of this quintessentially equestrian area. Horses
are intrinsically linked to the valley, and they are often
seen exercising around the surrounding roads and
fields from the house. Constantia was built in 2001
and is a magnificent, detached home with a plethora
of modern conveniences, including underfloor heating
across all three floors, fitted privacy shutters in many
of the front-facing rooms and stylish bath and shower
rooms – all of which have been replaced in the last 14
years. Additional updates have included full cosmetic
redecoration, new stairs and flooring and the addition
of the car port/annexe – the latter offers additional
accommodation of an au pair or older children.
The stunning property extends to about 4300 sq ft, with
accommodation over three floors which is beautifully
appointed throughout. The house is immaculately
presented to a very high standard, and there are
premium touches throughout, such as a stylish kitchen
with premium appliances and slate floors across much
of the ground floor. The magnificent reception hall
sits central to the home, providing access to a family
room, sitting room, light and airy garden room, a study,
cloakroom with WC and an open plan kitchen and
breakfast room. The latter features NEFF appliances, a
Quooker hot water tap, water softener and built-in Miele
wok cooker.
The first floor accommodation is arranged around a
central landing, which works well as a gallery or library.
The principal bedroom is situated to the rear, overlooking
the garden and equine centre beyond, and benefitting
from a dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are
a further three bedrooms on the first floor – one en suite,
one with a jack and jill bathroom – and two bedrooms, a
bath/shower room and loft space on the second floor.
Separate to the house there is a first-floor apartment
situated over the garages, comprising a sitting and
dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room, double bedroom
and shower room. Within the garden there is a detached
building housing a gym, a spa with sauna and hot tub,
and a shower room.

Outside
Constantia is set within beautifully manicured gardens
which feel exceptionally private, with mature hedging
and shrubs all around the boundary and a copse
of well-established trees to the rear. The house is
approached under an archway opening to a large
tarmac driveway, with two covered double garages
and a self-contained apartment on the first floor,
which offers great potential for further development.
The lawned gardens wrap around the house and
are bordered by landscaped topiary and attractive
flowerbeds, while to the rear there is a substantial
terrace partially shaded by a pergola, with a path
leading through the gardens to the detached gym and
sauna.

Situation
Lambourn is situated in beautiful countryside within the
North Wessex Downs AONB, surrounded by excellent
walking and riding country. Locally the area is famous
for its racing stables and known as the ‘Valley of the
Racehorse’. Lambourn is a well-appointed town offering
plentiful day-to-day amenities including shops, surgeries,
vets, pubs and cafes. Nearby Hungerford (10 miles) is
a delightful market town providing additional services
and a mainline station with direct services into London
Paddington. Further shops and services are available
in Newbury, which also offers racing at Newbury
Racecourse and golf at a number of excellent courses.
The property is ideally situated to take advantage of the
excellent communication links with the M4 and also the
direct rail services from Swindon to London Paddington
(about 55 minutes) and the South West. Local schools

House.
