Description
Chequers House is a highly attractive detached property of red brick elevations under a thatched roof dating back to the late c18th in the much sought after village of Marden.
This is a superb family home with generously proportioned reception rooms, good ceiling heights and has been recently modernised. The property is full of period and country charm, including exposed beams, fireplaces with wood burning stoves and an Aga in the kitchen.
There is a light and welcoming feel to the main reception room and the kitchen, with both having direct access to the beautiful rear garden. The kitchen really is the heart of the home with space for a large dining table providing the perfect spot for entertaining and for family meals. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a dining room/study, utility room, bootroom and cosy snug.
Upstairs, in the main part of the house, there are four bedrooms and family bathroom, with the main bedroom having an abundance of integrated wardrobes and ensuite bathroom. A separate staircase leads from the snug up to the fifth bedroom. This spacious room benefits from its own bathroom, making it ideal guest accommodation.
Outside
Set behind beech hedging, the house has a large gravelled area to the front offering ample driveway parking. There is a large garage offering additional parking and/or handy space for extra storage.
The gardens are a particular feature of this stunning property. There is a large terrace to the rear of the house accessed off both the kitchen and main sitting room.
The garden is mainly laid to lawns and has mature hedges, trees and flower borders providing interest in the garden throughout the seasons and enjoys lovely views across the fields beyond.
From the garden you can access the public footpath which provides access to delightful walks around the village and the countryside beyond.
Situation
Marden is a popular village which lies 6 miles south-east of the market town of Devizes, nestled in the Vale of Pewsey in close proximity to the Salisbury Plain and the Marlborough Downs. There is an exceptional village pub as well as the 12th century parish church, village hall and riding stables and is surrounded by glorious open countryside perfect for walking, riding and cycling.
There are an excellent range of schools from village primary and local secondary to the independent sector of St Francis Prep, Dauntsey's (bus pick up in the village), Marlborough College and St. Mary's Calne.
The area offers strong transport links either by rail from Pewsey with direct trains to London Paddington in c65 minutes or by car with easy access to the A303/M3 or M4.
