Our cottage is large, and comfortable, with a modern open plan kitchen and dining area. The partially beamed drawing room with its brick fireplace one end, and French doors the other. This opens onto a terrace, surrounded by shrubs and flowers. The garden has a pond, and is mainly lawn with trees and walls around the perimeter of the property for privacy. We have a parking area enough for three cars and more, and a garage.
We also have a large 3 bed/2 bath penthouse apartment, with all mod cons in Denia Spain. This has a pool, gym, internet, and secure parking.
We are Suzanne and Andrew, both in our late 50s, but young at heart. We both worked in Sales, Andrew for a large computer company and I for a mobile communication company. We took early retirement a year ago and since then we seem to have spent our time travelling between Australia, UK and Spain. We enjoy our food, and of course our wine, and love exploring new places. We also like to keep fit. I go to classes and Andrew the gym, and we take the bikes out when we can. We both want to spend more time in Australia, especially the Northern Beaches area where I have family.
We are situated on the border of Hampshire and Berkshire in the pretty village of Highclere noted for its castle. Newbury 10 mins away,is the closest town, with its racecourse, cafes, clubs, and pubs. We are nicely positioned for trips to the South Coast, Oxford, the beautiful Georgian city of Bath, and the Cotswolds. All within an hour. Highclere is a rural area,with country pursuits, like horseriding, walking etc, but also you are not far from the 24 hour supermarkets, and shops. Very friendly neighbours if you need any help or information.
