About this property

A characterful period house with wonderful views and private open land, all set beside the banks of the River Avon.

This much improved period house occupies a magical setting amongst mature well-maintained gardens and overlooks its own private fields and water meadow. This special property has been the long-term home of the current owners who have enhanced and improved the house throughout their 22 year ownership. They have created a wonderful mix of charming period features with extensive accommodation and a flexible layout. The plethora of windows and doors give the house a real connection with the outside, which is such an important feature of this property.

The kitchen has become the central axis of the house and is a warm and welcoming space with views and access to the outside. It leads into the period section of the house which has the charming part double height drawing room, complete with wood burning stove, as well as the more recent additions of the garden room/studio and conservatory/utility. There are unique features throughout the property, from open fires, tessellated floors to vaulted ceilings and original wooden beams.

Outside
The property is situated in a splendid position within the Wiltshire AONB, surrounded by rolling countryside with grassland, arable farmland and woodland.

The property itself is set within about 15 acres of diverse land comprising mature and well-maintained gardens with an abundant selection of mature trees, shrubs and open lawns. There is a mixed orchard as well as various storage and work sheds throughout. A charming pedestrian bridge allows access across the meandering water that snakes through the lower section of the garden and to the charming water meadow.
To the west of the house is the pastureland. This is gently sloping, has vehicular access and would be ideal for stock pasture.
