House For Sale £700,000
Richard James are delighted to offer this stunning detached Grade II listed Georgian fronted village house to the market. Boasting impressive south facing gardens, a charming courtyard and a substantial former Coach house and outbuildings with huge potential.
The Retreat is a beautiful period family home with origins dating back to the mid-18th Century. It has a classically pretty and symmetrical front facade with stunning sash windows and a central projecting porch, typical of the Georgian era and is Grade II listed. The grand entrance opens into a spacious hall with feature period flooring, either side of which are two impressive and well proportional reception rooms both with high ceilings, sash windows with shutters and period fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of cupboards and incorporates a walk-in larder. Also on the ground floor is a fantastic utility room and a charming Victorian conservatory with an ancient vine. On the first floor there are two spacious double bedrooms both with feature fireplaces and sash windows and far reaching countryside views. There is an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom and in a wing projecting to the rear of the house, there is a third good size reception room, overlooking the idyllic courtyard area, which could serve as another double bedroom if so desired. Beyond there is a further study/dressing room/potential en-suite. On the second floor there are two spacious attic double bedrooms both with equally breath taking views. Outside there is a gated access to a car port and immediately to the rear of the house a charming paved courtyard. There is a substantial former coach house and stables running alongside the courtyard which is currently used for storage but could potentially be used for other purposes. Steps lead up to the main area of garden which is a good size and subdivided into two principle areas.
The house is set on an impressive plot with ample seating areas, flower beds and vegetable patches as well as a pond, creating one of the most stunning exteriors within the village.
Properties of the nature are rarely available on the open market and an internal viewing of this beautiful home is paramount to appreciate what this home has to offer.
The village has good road links via the A419 to the M5 and M4. Swindon station provides trains to London. Blunsdon benefits from a community run shop and two public houses in addition to restaurant and leisure facilities at the Blunsdon House Hotel. There is a local well regarded primary school in addition to a secondary school in nearby Highworth.
