A "rarely available" country estate in Berkshire has come on the market for £8.9million.

The nine-bedroom detached home with further secondary accommodation is located on Snelsmore Common, Newbury, where it sits in private woodland with panoramic views of the countryside.

It boasts 170 acres of land and has up to seven other dwellings.

The principal house, Bussockwood House, is a "substantial" Queen Anne style Grade II Listed property, dating from 1907.

The property retains many original period features, but now requires "some sympathetic modernisation and updating".

The house is approached via a tree-lined avenue after 1/3 mile drive through mature woodland and grounds which open up to a central turning circle.

Inside you are welcomed by an "impressive" entrance hall with a working fireplace and vaulted ceiling.

The drawing room boasts a fireplace with marble mantelpiece and doors that lead out to the adjoining gardens and grounds.

A study and library are also found on the ground floor, alongside a "generous" kitchen and connecting dining room.

An oak staircase gives access to the first-floor bedrooms, including a principal bedroom, with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

There are a further five bedrooms on the first floor, two with ensuites, WC, laundry room and bathroom.

On the second floor, there are three further bedrooms, a bathroom, and three further rooms with the potential to create additional bedrooms.

The "delightful" grounds include "mature amenity woodland and pastureland" and "stunning southerly views".

The property is for sale as a whole or in lots - with three lots in total.
