Reference eta when calling
Quietly situated in the heart of one of Wiltshire’s most desirable villages, this Grade II listed cottage is a jewel of a home. The modest frontage is deceptive as internally the property boasts generous reception spaces and three double bedrooms, all while keeping the character and feel of a quaint period cottage.
It’s hard to imagine a more quintessential English village setting than Aldbourne, with the historic church overlooking a picturesque village green and public house, surrounded by beautiful cottages and houses. Discreetly positioned just off The Green, Crooked Corner enjoys a prime location in the most sought-after part of this very popular village. Aldbourne lies within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by glorious countryside. The village benefits from two excellent grocery shops, a post office and deli, two public houses and an outstanding primary school.
Accommodation Summary:
Ground Floor:
The front porch leads through to a spacious, light-filled sitting room with exposed beams, sage-coloured walls and the focal log burner from Chesneys with reclaimed wood mantle, perfect for cosy nights in front of the fireplace. The kitchen offers ample room for a large dining table, a range of built-in cupboard spaces and charming views over the garden. A useful shower room and WC is also neatly tucked away on the ground floor.
First Floor:
The first floor has a large landing with a picture window overlooking St. Michaels Church and clever built-in storage concealed beside the chimney breast. The spacious main bedroom with a vaulted ceiling is situated at the rear of the cottage and offers discreet built-in storage space and delightful views over the rear garden. There are two further double bedrooms, one of which has further large, fitted wardrobes, and the main bathroom on the first floor.
Outside:
To the rear of the property and accessed through double doors leading from the kitchen/breakfast room, is a charming cottage garden, attractively planted and fully enclosed with panel fencing. Further privacy is given by a fruitful and well-established apple tree. A terrace located to the rear of the garden provides an excellent space for al-fresco dining, with summer house at the far end.
Location:
Aldbourne is one of the most popular villages in Wiltshire – historic, beautiful, and a thriving community. Many families are drawn to the village for its outstanding primary school and nearby outstanding secondary school St. John’s Academy in Marlborough, as well as leading private schools such as Pinewood, Dauntsey’s and Marlborough College.
Set in spectacular rolling countryside, there are many footpaths and trails locally to explore, including The Ridgeway national trail which passes nearby. Barbury Castle, an ancient hill fort, provides far-reaching panoramic views of the area. The nearby village of Ramsbury has its own brewery as well as The Bell public house serving excellent food and drink. Just six miles away is the thriving market town of Marlborough, which has a high street packed with boutique shops alongside national retailers such as Waitrose.
Regular direct rail services from Hungerford and Swindon to London Paddington are a short drive away, with the fastest services taking just 49 minutes. Junctions 14 and 15 of the M4 are also close at hand.
