5 bed detached house for sale

Quemerford Gate, Calne, Wiltshire SN11.

Cricketers Rest is a fantastic barn conversion which was extended about 18 months ago. The original conversion took place in 2000 and was completed to a high standard creating a light and well-presented home.

The hall leads into a double-aspect sitting/dining room with exposed beams and a woodburning stove. There is a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, stone floor and larder leading to large utility/boot room with cloakroom. The main first floor bedroom has a bathroom with shower and two walk-in wardrobes. There are three further bedrooms, a shower room and bathroom on the ground floor together with study that could be used as an occasional bedroom.

Adjacent to the barn is fantastic one bedroom annexe providing excellent family accommodation or it has potential to be let to provide income.

The property owns a shared access over a quiet lane which lead to a five-bar gate and gravelled drive which provides ample parking for numerous cars.

There is an impressive Jon Williams stable block with four loose boxes, a hay store, wash down area, tack room and small turnout pen. The barn overlooks four fenced paddocks with water, which provide excellent grazing and views over to Cherhill Monument. Beyond the paddocks is a dilapidated former cricket pavilion and a wonderfully secluded lake with a woodland path around the edge.

The garden extends around the barn and is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of beds and shrubs. There is a sheltered terrace together with a shed, raised beds and a well. A footpath runs outside the western boundary of the property and crosses the property near the lake.

Cricketers Rest is situated in Quemerford, a small hamlet on the edge of Calne with wonderful views towards The Lansdowne Monument (Cherhill Monument) and The Cherhill White Horse hill figure.

Calne provides excellent day to day shopping with Tesco and Sainsbury's supermarkets. The popular market town of Marlborough lies to the east and provides further shopping as well as many coffee shops and interesting boutiques.
