Reading Chronicle: Bussockwood Estate

The Grade II Listed Bussockwood House comes with a host of original features, an imposing entrance hall, central drawing room, dual aspect library, a study, generous kitchen/breakfast room and dining room.

Its crowning glory is a master bedroom complete with ensuite and dressing room, and there are approximately eight additional bedrooms.

The property includes an adjoining flat, household outbuildings, and is ringed by woodland featuring the ruins of Bussock Camp, an Iron Age hillfort.

This sublime estate stretches across 170 acres and includes an extra four houses and three bungalows.

Matthew Allen, Partner at Fisher German, said: “This is an incredibly unique opportunity to purchase a magnificent 170-acre country estate benefitting from panoramic countryside views and private wooded areas, which is based right on the edge of the stunning Berkshire Downs. 

“Bussockwood House is architecturally impressive having been designed by Mervyn Macartney and includes splendid features including vaulted ceilings, several handsome fireplaces and sash windows, and boasts delightful gardens and grounds.  

“It now requires some sympathetic modernisation and updating but will create a very special and unique family home. 

“The estate as whole also includes a number of additional dwellings. We would urge anyone who is interested in this rarely available estate to get in touch.”
