This substantial stone-built home is set in a desirable rural hamlet near Purton and Cricklade, with the added convenience of Swindon’s amenities close by.
Offering extensive and flexible accommodation, the property is rich in character and charm, with beautiful landscaped gardens and open countryside views to the rear.
Set back behind a well-maintained front garden, the house is approached through a striking clipped archway leading into a welcoming entrance porch. Inside, a versatile reception hall features solid oak flooring, a characterful stove, and a staircase rising to the first floor. A useful under-stairs cupboard offers additional storage.
At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area — a light-filled and sociable space with two sets of French doors opening onto the patio and garden beyond. The kitchen is fitted with a wide range of gloss cream units, ample worksurface for the keen cook and has integrated appliances. Ceramic tiled flooring runs throughout, complemented by exposed beams and a dressed stone wall that add warmth and character.
Two further reception rooms provide excellent versatility, including a formal dining room and a generously sized dual-aspect sitting room with a striking inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. This room flows through to a garden room at the rear, offering further space to relax and enjoy views of the garden.
Additional ground floor accommodation includes a home office, cloakroom, and a practical utility room with direct access to the double garage. The garage benefits from an electric roller door and is accompanied by driveway parking for two cars.
On the first floor, the landing includes an airing cupboard. The master bedroom features a dressed stone wall, exposed brick chimney breast, and a stylish en-suite shower room with walk-in
wardrobe and a second airing cupboard. There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in storage, and a family bathroom finished to a high standard with solid wooden flooring, exposed beams, a Velux rooflight, a large double-ended bath, separate shower, basin, and WC.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens have been lovingly cared for and offer a variety of spaces to enjoy. Deep planted borders, level lawns, patios, decking areas, and a summer house
provide perfect spots to follow the sun or simply unwind. A large timber shed offers further garden storage, and the rear of the property enjoys open views across neighbouring fields, adding to the peaceful rural setting.
This much-loved home combines character, space, and stunning outdoor living in a rural yet conveniently located setting.
