A stunning and exceptionally private six-bedroom executive home with views of the Lambourn Valley, with a detached one-bedroom apartment Constantia is situated on the western edge of Lambourn, on a leafy, quiet road with views over the rolling Lambourn Valley and gallops used by the racing stables of this quintessentially equestrian area. Horses are intrinsically linked to the valley, and they are often seen exercising around the surrounding roads and fields from the house. Constantia was built in 2001 and is a magnificent, detached home with a plethora of modern conveniences, including underfloor heating across all three floors, fitted privacy shutters in many of the front-facing rooms and stylish bath and shower rooms – all of which have been replaced in the last 14 years.

The stunning property extends to about 4300 sq ft, with accommodation over three floors which is beautifully appointed throughout. The house is immaculately presented to a very high standard, and there are premium touches throughout, such as a stylish kitchen with premium appliances and slate floors across much of the ground floor. The magnificent reception hall sits central to the home, providing access to a family room, sitting room, light and airy garden room, a study, cloakroom with WC and an open plan kitchen and breakfast room. The latter features NEFF appliances, a Quooker hot water tap, water softener and built-in Miele wok cooker. The first floor accommodation is arranged around a central landing, which works well as a gallery or library. The principal bedroom is situated to the rear, overlooking the garden and equine centre beyond, and benefitting from a dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are a further three bedrooms on the first floor – one en suite, one with a jack and jill bathroom – and two bedrooms, a bath/shower room and loft space on the second floor. Separate to the house there is a first-floor apartment situated over the garages, comprising a sitting and dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room, double bedroom and shower room. Within the garden there is a detached building housing a gym, a spa with sauna and hot tub, and a shower room. Outside Constantia is set within beautifully manicured gardens which feel exceptionally private, with mature hedging and shrubs all around the boundary and a copse of well-established trees to the rear. The house is approached under an archway opening to a large tarmac driveway, with two covered double garages and a self-contained apartment on the first floor, which offers great potential for further development. The lawned gardens wrap around the house and are bordered by landscaped topiary and attractive flowerbeds, while to the rear there is a substantial terrace partially shaded by a pergola, with a path leading through the gardens to the detached gym and sauna.
