Situation
Pear Tree Cottage is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is criss-crossed by a network of bridle paths and quiet country lanes. The village of Baydon has a general store/post office, a church and a good primary school. It is also in the catchment area for St John’s Marlborough, an outstanding secondary school. The market towns of Marlborough and Hungerford with their various boutique shops, restaurants and coffee shops are 7 and 8 miles away respectively. Swindon is approximately 9 miles away and provides excellent rail links to London Paddington. Both junction 14 and 15 of the M4 are 9 and 6 miles away respectively.
Description
Pear Tree Cottage is a Grade II Listed period cottage believed to date back to the 18th Century, constructed of rendered stone, brick and blockwork elevations under a thatched roof, in excellent condition, relieved by wooden framed windows.
The property has recently undergone a renovation project and combines contemporary features with period details including exposed walls and ceiling beams and, unusually for a property of this style and age, the cottage benefits from excellent ceiling heights throughout. The spacious and elegant principal rooms which are full of period charm include a drawing room with Inglenook fireplace, a dining room and a sitting room with a further Inglenook fireplace. There is also a well-fitted kitchen with vaulted ceiling with a door opening out to the rear garden.
The generously proportioned main bedroom has a well-appointed ensuite shower room. There are two further bedrooms which are served by the family bathroom. The accommodation is decorated with a neutral palette giving a bright and welcoming feel throughout
Outside
A real highlight of this property is the grounds. Set in about a third of an acre they are professionally maintained and have been thoughtfully designed to make the best use of the space, aspect and the magnificent panoramic rural views across the valley. The property is approached by two entrances with a driveway leading to the double garage and front door, and a second entrance via electric double gates leading through to a gravelled parking area. There is a gravelled path which leads through to an ornamental fishpond with bridge leading to the cottage. A pretty timber Arbor leads to the main lawn with raised flower borders. An archway leads to the kitchen garden, greenhouse, shed and vegetable beds. A path leads through to the sun terrace with steps to another lawn with summerhouse and views of the valley below.
