About Your Country House

Your Country House is an outstanding retreat situated near the River Kennet in Aldermaston Wharf, Berkshire, close to the South Downs National Park. With convenient off-road parking, a bubbling hot tub, and stunning freestanding bath, this family-friendly haven is perfect for families or friends seeking a serene escape in the picturesque countryside.

From the moment you arrive, the striking white façade of this large, detached Victorian house sets the tone for a memorable stay. Step through the entrance and feel the sense of space created by high ceilings in every ground-floor room, where period details and elegant proportions invite you to slow down and settle in.

The journey begins in the kitchen/diner, where a breakfast bar with stylish pendant lights beckons you to linger over morning coffee from the sleek coffee maker. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room, where a wooden table sits beneath a sparkling chandelier—an inviting setting for celebratory feasts or leisurely breakfasts, all bathed in natural light.

A handy utility room, discreetly tucked away, houses a washing machine and tumble dryer, making longer stays effortless. Move through to the sitting room, where plush seating and an open fire create a welcoming atmosphere beneath a grand chandelier.

Sunlight pours in from the adjoining conservatory, illuminating the space and drawing your gaze to the lush greenery beyond. The conservatory itself is a haven for play and relaxation, with a black chandelier suspended above a versatile games table—set for table tennis, pool, or air hockey—while panoramic windows frame tranquil garden views.

separate library, adorned in warm tones and featuring another open fire, invites you to browse the shelves and lose yourself in a good book, the gentle crackle of flames providing the perfect backdrop for quiet moments. Upstairs, each of the seven bedrooms is thoughtfully arranged for restful nights, every room graced with its own chandelier.
