Castleman’s House is a spectacular example of sublime Georgian engineering, a true masterpiece of style, elegance and grandeur. Its warm red brick is complimented by the stark whiteness of its windows and French doors, which in turn lead out onto an expanse of green pasture, ideal for summer entertaining and evening soirées. The interior decor still embraces the original charm of its period features, including the ornate ceilings and decorative panelling, while the billiard room, formal dining room and ballroom-cum-drawing room all offer a fine array of entertaining spaces.

The exquisite garden at the house
The property, which is a stone’s throw from the hub of London’s cultural bustle, is situated approximately eight miles northeast of Reading, in the idyllic Berkshire countryside. Boasting eight bedrooms, an annex, and almost four acres of pleasant garden littered with beds of lavender, the secluded home is an oasis of calm and history. Perhaps the finest element of all however, is the impressively vast Victorian ballroom, situated in the wing of the property, an attractive feature of the Grade II listed building that promises late night escapades and plenty of dancing. The double-height vaulted ceiling of the room makes for brilliant acoustics and majestic splendour. Fit for a period drama, one can imagine merry guests spilling out into the moonlit garden, awaiting the arrival of Mr Darcy-esque suitors in the evening air.
