Description

Steeped in history, The Pump House is believed to date back to the 17th century, with notable additions made in the 1820s. Once a working mill, the property is located on a site of historical significance—set amidst the grounds of the Battle of Newbury and earlier Roman and Iron Age settlements.

In recent years, the home has been thoughtfully extended and renovated to blend period character with elegant modern living. The result is a spacious, light-filled residence featuring high ceilings, beautiful arched windows, and a soft, sophisticated colour palette throughout. Nearly all principal reception rooms enjoy views over the enchanting, walled gardens.

Upon entering, you're greeted by a stunning formal dining hall with a vaulted ceiling, two grand open fireplaces, and striking arched feature windows—an ideal space for entertaining. At the heart of the home lies a generous kitchen and breakfast room, walk-in pantry, and a magnificent arched doorway opening to the rear terrace.

Adjoining the kitchen is a large sitting/reading room, perfect for family living, with a spiral staircase leading to an upper-level guest bedroom.

The easterly wing of the house offers further reception space, including a formal drawing room, a cosy snug, and a private study—all with charming period features.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises four attractive bedrooms, along with a family bathroom and separate shower room. The principal bedroom has an adjoining dressing room which could be used as a fifth bedroom.

Grounds & Gardens

Approached via a shared gravel driveway, the house is set behind charming walled rear gardens, primarily laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and well-stocked flowerbeds, enhancing privacy. A lovely brick and stone terrace wraps around the rear of the property, offering a courtyard ambiance and access to multiple entry points into the house.

Surrounded by the scenic countryside of the Kennet Valley, Enborne offers a wealth of footpaths and bridleways, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, and is close to several picturesque villages as well as closeto the train station and town.

Walks are on the doorstep as is the Kennet Canal and Speen Meadows.
