Lucy and James Clippington’s recently renovated Edwardian home lies along a pretty tree-lined avenue, surrounded by the beautiful Berkshire countryside – a quintessentially English setting that stole the couple’s hearts when they were looking for a new home in 2018.

‘We were immediately struck by the sense of space when we viewed the property,’ recalls Lucy. The impressive, red-brick Edwardian house was set back from the road, within six acres of surrounding gardens and an adjoining paddock – a welcome addition for keen horse rider Lucy. ‘The house felt secluded, but, with only a short walk to the nearby village with its small selection of shops, local pub and the parish church dating back to the Norman Conquest, we knew we wouldn’t ever feel isolated.’
