Magnificent manor makes rare rental opportunity

A manor house dating from around the 16th Century in the heart of the Lambourn Downs has come onto the lettings market with Dreweatt Neate. It’s a rare opportunity to take up residence in such an imposing home set in a magnificent landscape and already James Cooper, new manager of the Newbury lettings department of Dreweatt Neate, is reporting strong interest.

“This is an outstanding property with which to celebrate taking over the lettings department. Eastbury Manor is an outstanding house and it’s set in 1.3 acres of gardens, so its surroundings match its style.

“With its location so close to Lambourn and the heart of the horseracing industry in this part of England it’s highly likely that whoever takes up residence will also want to keep horses,” adds James.

“With this in mind, a further 7.75 acres are available by separate negotiation or other arrangements might be made for a person wanting to keep just one horse.

“The house itself offers excellent accommodation with a mass of original features. There are seven or eight bedrooms and four bathrooms while reception space embraces a sitting room, dining room, drawing room, and study.

“Naturally, there’s a large country house kitchen at the heart of the property – anyone keen on entertaining will find this makes the perfect base.”

Eastbury Manor is being offered at £3,500 per calendar month. For further information, visit dreweatt-neate.co.uk.
