A select development of fine homes in a peaceful Berkshire village.

Working within the existing planning envelope, Heritage Homes now invite prospective buyers disillusioned with standard house builder products to discuss their own particular requirements, both in terms of lifestyle and final specification to suit their individual family needs. The unusual and highly specified external architecture will be accompanied by the highest standard of internal fixtures and fittings. Within the structural constraints imposed by the external architecture, buyers will be offered the opportunity to influence both the internal room arrangements and the specification to which the houses will then be built. All are likely to feature under floor heating, full IT and audio systems, luxury kitchens and bathrooms and bespoke joinery throughout.

A select development of fine homes in a peaceful Berkshire village. The village of Woolton Hill is situated in a peaceful corner of rural West Berkshire, south west of the market town of Newbury adjoining the Hampshire border. Tile Barn has been selected by Heritage Homes as the site for this exclusive new development. The location is characterised by quiet wooded lanes, where substantial detached dwellings are screened from the road by beech hedges and mature trees. Harwood House and the Gainsborough Stud Farm are among the imposing properties found here. Tile Barn House itself is a Victorian country house featuring the knapped flints typically found around the Chilterns; set in attractive gardens, the house is reached by a network of narrow drives, bordered by laurel hedges. “Redwoods” will provide a worthy addition to the area’s existing range of attractive residences.

Woolton Hill offers considerable advantages as your chosen location for your new home; a quiet retreat in an unspoilt wooded environment, which is nevertheless convenient for transport links and major centres such as Newbury and Reading, and situated close to a wide range of cultural and leisure facilities. There are two highly regarded primary schools in the village.

A sense of peace pervades the village, with its wooded lanes ideal for horse-riding and dog-walking, and there are many attractive architectural features to enjoy; the parish church of St Thomas is faced with knapped flints from the chalk downs of the Chilterns, and Tile Barn House features decorative flint and brickwork as well as mullioned, arched windows with elegant friezes. Strolling in the direction of the delightfully-named ‘Rampant Cat’ you pass the traditional Stores and Post Office; the pub is a free house, and boasts a conservatory restaurant and garden.

Woolton Hill is close to Highclere, with its fine castle set in extensive parkland; the castle hosts a calendar of special events throughout the summer and at Christmas, and is well known as a film setting. Many arts venues are within easy reach, including the award-winning Watermill theatre near Newbury, the Corn Exchange in Newbury town centre, and Reading’s Hexagon theatre. The Watermill offers pre-and post-theatre dining, and the Corn Exchange has a varied programme of drama, dance, film and music. Newbury Racecourse is a popular venue for sporting events and conferences, and is home to the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup.
Transport links are excellent, as the M4 is within easy reach, as well as speedy journeys to Oxford or Southampton via the A34 – Southampton airport is around a 45-minute drive, and there are fast and frequent Railair buses from Reading railway station to Heathrow.

From M4/A34 junction take A34 Southbound. Ignore both Newbury and A4 exits, taking exit signed Highclere and Wash Common. Turn right onto A343 signed Highclere. After one mile turn right signed Woolton Hill & Kintbury. Tile Barn is an unmade private road marked with a white sign as “no public right of way”.
