This most impressive family home is set amidst splendid open countryside, with far reaching views all around. Originally built as a farm worker’s cottage in the 1930s, the property has been extended twice over and beautifully renovated into the incredible home it is today.
The immaculately presented interior features a hallway with limestone flooring and a bespoke understairs drinks cabinet, and oak doors into all rooms including the 22ft dual aspect sitting room with a part vaulted ceiling, oak flooring and a log burner set in a Bath stone fireplace. There is a family room with a handmade fitted corner unit and additional log burner with an opening through to the large kitchen/diner. The contemporary kitchen with oak worktops and limestone flooring has a 'Stoves' oven and a range of integrated appliances and doors out to a decked sun terrace. A long useful utility room has a shower room and a flexible study/optional ground floor bedroom set off it (providing scope for an annexe arrangement). On the first floor, there are 5 bedrooms plus a refitted shower room. The dual aspect main bedroom also features an en suite bathroom. Outside, the house is approached through electric 5 bar gates on to a large driveway providing ample parking, and leads to a open fronted barn style double carport and a 28ft workshop. Planning consent has been granted (now in perpetuity), to add another covered bay and gym/studio on the existing building. The same planning includes an impressive Orangery off the kitchen. There are also 2 EV chargers. The gardens are a delight- with level lawns and planted borders, running down to a productive orchard and separate vegetable growing area, with a wild flower meadow beyond. A heated pool is surrounded by an Indian sandstone patio sun terrace, a hot tub, and a barn style pool house with a pump room, changing room with a wet room, and a wonderful oak framed eating/entertaining area.
The property occupies an attractive and unspoilt rural setting in the small sought after hamlet of Marston, just on from the delightful village green. Marston is close to the village of Worton which has a public house and a primary school and lies four miles south west of the historic market town of Devizes. Devizes has a comprehensive range of shopping, transport and leisure facilities; the Kennet and Avon canal runs through the town, there is a swimming pool, cinema, schooling for all ages, museum and thriving twice-weekly market. The major centres of Bath, Swindon and Salisbury, and the country towns of Trowbridge and Chippenham, are all within a thirty mile radius. Dauntsey’s school, Marlborough College and St Mary's Calne are easily accessible. Communications in the area are excellent with train services to London Paddington from Chippenham, Pewsey and Westbury; fast road access to London and the West Country, Heathrow and Gatwick via the M4 to the north and the A303 to the south.
