The neighbouring village of Urchfont offers a village shop/post office, a popular public house and a community run bus service into Devizes, Bath and Salisbury. Planks Yard is just on the other side of the road and is home to an excellent farm shop, café, Pilates studio and a range of other shops and small businesses.
The hamlet of Wedhampton is approximately 4 miles south east of Devizes where there are a range of supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants, a cinema, leisure centre, library and several dental and doctors surgeries and is strategically placed for other centres including Marlborough about 15 miles, Salisbury about 23 miles, and Pewsey approximately 8 miles with its main line station to London Paddington – about 1 hour. The M4/A303 are both about 20 miles away.
Spring End is very conveniently situated for local schools, a primary school in Urchfont, a secondary school in Market Lavington and for Dauntsey’s in West Lavington.
Wedhampton is within the Pewsey Vale in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with undulating downland. Situated towards the Devizes end of the Pewsey Vale, the area is well known for its beautiful wide open countryside, giving access to delightful walks, riding, cycling and other country pursuits.
Description
Dating back to the 17th Century this Grade II Listed cottage is set within beautifully walled and landscaped gardens with wooden framed windows under a thatched roof and full of wonderful period features including exposed timber beams, ancient wooden panelling and an Inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. The cottage has two separate staircases offering flexibility of use for arranging the living spaces.
Downstairs there are two good sized reception tooms including the sitting room overlooking landscaped rear gardens, a drawing room with access to an additional downstairs bathroom and a good-sized family kitchen with dining area.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being of large proportions, served by the well-appointed family bathroom. The fourth bedroom is a through bedroom featuring a wonderful full sized cabin bed and is currently being used as a study.
In addition to the cottage, Spring End has its own detached annexe with a large double bedroom and bathroom.
Connections
Trains to London Paddington (and west to Bristol and Exeter) are available from Swindon, Pewsey or Westbury.
Schools
There are good schools all around, with a primary in Urchfont and secondary in Market Lavington plus independent schools including St John’s, Pinewood, St Francis, Dauntsey’s. St Margaret’s, St Mary’s Calne and the world-renowned Marlborough College.
Attractions
The area is blessed with numerous places of interest including Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Sites and other stone and earth works (Old Sarum and Silbury Hill), Salisbury Cathedral and the Magna Carta, the Kennet & Avon canal and Caen Hill Locks in Devizes and Longleat, one of the many stately homes nearby.
Annexe
The annexe is the ideal place for visitors with a large double bedroom that has French doors opening directly onto the garden and its own bathroom. It has its own private doorway access from the driveway making it ideal for guests or it would make a wonderful home office as Wi-Fi access is available via an extender from the cottage.
Outside
The gardens are entirely enclosed by full height brick walls containing three separate lawns, gravel paths, box hedges and magnificent herbaceous borders. Spring blossoms are provided by a superb pink cherry tree, a magnolia and wisteria creating a trellis barricade between the garden and the driveway. There is a greenhouse for keen gardeners and three sheds for storage and a purpose-built log shed. The cottage is bordered by other gardens on three sides and a very quiet lane to the front, often frequented by the farmer’s flock of guinea fowl. The private driveway provides parking for three vehicles.
