DESCRIPTION
This former manor house occupies a commanding edge-of-village position, yet remains just a short and attractive five minute walk from the centre of Pewsey. Stepping inside, one is immediately struck by the scale and elegance synonymous with a property of this stature. A spectacular hallway unfolds beyond the front door and leads to the property’s private entrance. Beyond this, a smaller entrance hall offers built-in storage for cloaks and shoes. A substantial kitchen and dining room, recently updated with all new surfaces, provides a welcoming heart to the home. From here, stairs lead down to the extensive dry cellar and wine cellar below. This space currently offers excellent storage and holds enormous potential to be transformed into another reception room or games room. Adjacent to the open plan kitchen lies a sophisticated living room of generous proportions, featuring a truly impressive fireplace and oak flooring. Both reception rooms boast high ceilings with ornate cornices and are flooded with natural light from large sash windows, affording pleasant vistas from every room. A practical utility room with a handy cloakroom completes the ground floor layout. The entire property has been immaculately maintained and is decorated to an impeccable standard throughout. This attention to detail remains evident as you ascend the staircase, where rich tones adorn the landing. The landing leads to three comfortable bedrooms, each enjoying lovely aspects. The principal bedroom is extremely spacious, offering a dual aspect along with a separate dressing room. Bedroom two is another generous double, while bedroom three, currently used as a dedicated study, could be reconfigured into two single bedrooms or a delightful single bedroom with a dressing room. A well-appointed and tastefully decorated bathroom serves the first floor, featuring a luxurious roll-top bath, stunning brass fittings, and underfloor heating.
OUTSIDE
This sensational property is set within grounds truly befitting its manor house heritage. Nestled in an idyllic position, it is surrounded by substantial and beautifully maintained walled gardens that enjoy sunlight throughout the day. This tranquil haven features expansive lawns, mature trees, well-established shrubs, a charming rose garden, and an array of productive fruit trees, including apple, pear, quince, plum, and mulberry, alongside raised beds for vegetable cultivation. Convenient direct access to the village is available via the picturesque churchyard. In addition to the magnificent gardens, the property includes a separate garage and benefits from a one-third share of a large barn, offering significant dry storage. There is also potential for the installation of an electric vehicle charging point. Despite its peaceful seclusion, the residence remains remarkably convenient, just a short stroll from all village amenities and approximately a ten-minute walk from Pewsey’s mainline railway station.
