House For Sale £625,000
Over the years this enchanting cottage has been extended and remodelled to create an appealing welcoming home with all the benefits of modern living. A superb main entrance hall sets the scene with vaulted ceilings making it light and appealing with an easterly aspect over the front garden. A cosy sitting room has an ornate wood burning stove in racing green with attractive stone surround. Underfoot faux Bathstone continues into the dining hall with brick fireplace housing a wood burning stove with ample space to dine and entertain. A wonderful addition by the current owners is an office/studio with vaulted lofty ceiling housing a skylight and French doors to the outside, perfect for those working from home or occasional visitors. There is also a useful utility room with a WC. The kitchen is a superb extension which opens up across the back of the house and is fitted with a range of bespoke solid timber teal coloured cupboards with integral double oven induction hob and dishwasher. This multifunctional room is the hub of the house with space for dining, entertaining and relaxing; doors open onto the sunny rear open porch.
Up the main staircase there is located a peaceful guest bedroom with a wall of wardrobes and views to the front, the third bedroom and a family bathroom with separate shower and bath.
The principal bedroom has a separate staircase off the kitchen which leads to a good sized double bedroom with garden views and separate ensuite shower room.
Outside
To the front of the cottage there is gravel parking for several cars which leads to a detached rough saw larch clad garage with storage above. The front garden is neatly designed with mature hedging and a path to the front door. The rear garden offers much in the way of privacy and seclusion with a westerly aspect which can be enjoyed from the raised terrace which overlooks this established fully stocked garden. Within the garden there are many flowers and shrubs alongside trees and expanses of lawn. A greenhouse and sheds provide useful storage and a Shepherd's Hut complements the accommodation and makes for a wonderful garden retreat to catch the last rays of sunshine.
Situation
Compton Bassett stands at the foot of the escarpment of the Marlborough Downs in an area that is predominantly pasture land and well away from main roads. The property stands in a conservation area. The village is typified by period properties and there is a popular public house, a church and a good village community. The nearby market towns of Calne, Marlborough and Devizes offer a good range of services and amenities. Main line railway services can be found from Chippenham to London Paddington and there is access to the M4 motorway at Junction 16. The City of Bath, a world heritage site, with a wide range of cultural activities is about 20 miles to the west. The area offers a wide range of sporting activities, which include racing at Bath and Salisbury, golf at Bowood and North Wilts and fine walking and riding in the surrounding countryside. Local schools include Marlborough College, St Mary's at Calne and Dauntseys.
