Burbage, Marlborough, SN8

This sympathetically restored home retains the charm and character of a thatched cottage on the outside, with the benefits of a stylish, contemporary upgrade internally.
Upon entering the cottage you are greeted by a cosy sitting room with exposed beams, an exposed brick chimney breast with a dual aspect wood burner. Parquet flooring is enhanced by underfloor heating which continues on the whole of the ground floor. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with an array of cupboards and integrated appliances. Sleek quartz worktops are complemented by contrasting grey cupboards. Quartz tiled flooring lightens the room with a central island standing proudly adding a modern yet practical approach. In addition there is a utility room with WC/Shower and space and plumbing for a washing machine. Ascend the oak staircase to the first floor which boasts an impressive vaulted ceiling allowing natural light to flood into all rooms. The third bedroom is currently used as a study/office, with large windows and exposed beams overhead. The luxurious guest bedroom has exposed beams and built in wardrobes. A good sized, modern family bathroom sits between bedrooms two and three. The main bedroom has large Velux windows, a wall of built in wardrobes and hints of the past with a pretty cottage window. The en-suite shower room has twin sinks, a large vanity unit/storage and a rainwater shower.

The self contained annexe comprises a good-sized kitchen/sitting room and a light, airy bedroom. Through to the bedroom the Velux windows add a light and airy feel; built in storage cupboards either side of the ensuite provides additional storage. The ensuite has been designed with an industrial theme and includes artisan tiling and black shower fittings.

Outside

The property is approached via an electric sliding gate, revealing a resin driveway with ample parking that leads to a detached oak framed garage with adjacent carport and accommodation above. To the side of the property is a low maintenance cottage garden. A brick paved pathway leads to the front door with an area of lawn on one side and loose slate on the other. There are several raised flower beds and vegetable plots making good use of the space which wraps round to the side. The garden is surrounded by tall beech lined hedgerows, providing a private and secluded place. The oak framed garage has an external staircase which leads to the one bedroom annexe.
