House For Sale £1,000,000
Fine & Country Marlborough and Devizes are delighted to present this beautiful 5 bedroom family home in the popular village of Burbage, just south of Marlborough
The Old Red Lion is a beautifully presented versatile family home, quietly situated on a no through road in this popular village. The house has been sympathetically modernised to provide a perfect blend of modern family home and period character. Lying within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Burbage is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the nearby ancient Savernake Forest offers 4500 acres of glorious oak woodland to explore. The village itself benefits from a 24 hour garage with mini supermarket and post office, a public house and both a pre and primary school, which is part of the Excalibur Academies Trust with close links to St John’s Academy Marlborough. St Francis, Pewsey is close by and there are direct secondary school bus routes to Dauntsey’s School and Rookwood, Andover. The village has its own doctors’ surgery. The nearby market town of Marlborough provides for almost all other amenities and access to London is made easy from stations at Pewsey, Great Bedwyn and Hungerford with direct services to Paddington taking around an hour.
Accommodation Summary:
Ground Floor:
The downstairs accommodation is light, spacious, tastefully presented and versatile. The large entrance hall has a working fireplace and attractive bay window. This leads to the wonderful drawing room, which boasts two log burners and through to the dining room and kitchen, which once hosted a skittle alley, but now provides the perfect family hub, with underfloor heating, electric Aga, two Lamona ovens and induction hob, sky lights and bi-fold doors leading to the patio and garden beyond. On from the kitchen is a useful utility room and a snug/bedroom 5. Accessed via the dining room is the family room/sitting room with French doors to the garden and the large home office is accessed via the garden.

The principal bedroom has an en-suite and built-in storage. A very well-appointed large family bathroom with roll top bath, double basins and underfloor heating serves the three remaining, all double bedrooms and bedroom 2 has extensive fitted storage.
Outside:
The property is accessed via a five-bar gate to gravelled drive, with parking for up to five cars. The garden, accessible via a side gate, is mainly laid to lawn with patio area accessed from both the kitchen and family/sitting room, ideal for entertaining. There is currently also a vegetable garden, chicken run and play area.
Location:
The village of Burbage lies to the south of Marlborough, beyond the vast and beautiful Savernake Forest. The North Wessex Downs is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and when exploring many of the abundant footpaths and trails, it is not difficult to see why. The Kennet and Avon Canal passes just north of the village and can be a delightful place for a towpath walk all year around.
The Old Red Lion is situated on a no through road and is located just a short walk away from the many village amenities. Further afield, Pewsey offers a wider range of amenities, and the thriving market town of Marlborough (approx. 6 miles to the north) has a diverse range of shops from boutique outlets to national chains such as Waitrose.<br /><br />
