Stunning five bedroom barn conversion in peaceful setting close to historic village.
Description
The property
A splendid example of a characterful barn conversion which offers generous accommodation over two floors.
The ground floor boasts versatile living space. There are two sitting rooms, one of which has a fireplace with a Jotul solid wood-burning stove and with vertical beams opening into the study (this could be enclosed if desired). The second sitting/family room is more informal. Both these rooms and the kitchen have doors to the rear garden.
The country-style kitchen has a range of units with granite worktops and provides ample space for dining. There is also a utility/boot room, plus a separate utility area and a downstairs WC.
There are two staircases leading to the first floor. The principal bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room. The four further bedrooms are served by three further bathrooms (one of which is en suite). The landing offers the possibility of an additional study area.
Outside
North Barn is set around a graveled courtyard with parking in front of the barn, plush a three open bay barn opposite which also provides a useful storage room. The neighbouring property, South Barn, is attached by virtue of a covered atrium area where there is a back door to their property.
To the rear, the enclosed private garden is predominantly laid to lawn with hedging and a variety of shrubs. It is a pretty garden for al fresco dining.
Location
Set in a tranquil location on the edge of the Marlborough Downs, the nearby village of Avebury offers a pub, nursery, shop and church and is less than a mile away. There is a National Trust cafe, with Avebury being a unesco World Heritage site. The property is located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and enjoys fantastic walks through stunning ancient countryside . The barn conversion is around six miles from the market town of Marlborough which has a Waitrose and a range of shopping and leisure facilities including an independent cinema. The commercial centre of Swindon is within convenient driving distance, with trains to Paddington taking approximately 60 minutes. Junction 16 of the M4 is about six miles away, whilst Pewsey is twelve miles away with trains to Paddington taking just over an hour. The thriving market town of Devizes is eight miles away.
The house is well situated for several schools including East Kennet Primary School, Broad Hinton Primary School, St Francis, Pinewood, St Mary's Calne, Dauntsey's, St John's and Marlborough College.
Avebury is best known for its remarkable Neolithic stone circle, which is one of the largest and most well-preserved stone circles in the world. The circle is believed to have been constructed around 2600 bce and is part of a complex of ancient monuments in the area. The stones are of local sarsen and are arranged in a large outer circle with two smaller inner circles. The landscape is also known for its scenic beauty. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and open countryside, making it a popular destination for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and horse riding.
