5 bedroom detached house for sale

This is a substantial detached village house, believed to date from the 17th C. and altered and improved in an attractive style in keeping with the stone and stone tiled original. A detached double garage and studio were added, two storey and stone built with a stone tiled roof; on approach via a pillared entrance, the property has something of the character of a small manor house. The accommodation is generous with a practical layout providing excellent family accommodation including a fine, beamed drawing room/dining room and a family kitchen. The garden is a real feature; extending to about 2/3rds of an acre and largely walled, it provides an attractive outlook from the house. The layout of the house, garage and gardens do lend themselves to possible redevelopment (subject to any consents).

Situation

The property stands in a delightful, secluded setting, off a quiet rural lane which continues onto open countryside. Lea is a sought after village with a thriving community, a highly regarded primary school, church and excellent public house with restaurant. The village, which is surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside ideal for walking, riding and other outdoor pursuits, is approximately two and a half miles from Malmesbury, which dates back to the 11th century and is reputed to be the oldest borough in the country. This thriving pretty town offers a wealth of buildings of architectural interest including its ancient Abbey, whilst also having a wide range of shops, services, schooling and leisure facilities available. Early tributaries of The River Avon pass around the town with pretty walks and the countryside close at hand. There are public transport services and good road access to the larger towns of Cirencester, Chippenham, Swindon, Bath and Bristol whilst the M4 junction 17 is only five miles south. Trains from Chippenham (10 miles) and Kemble (5 miles) link with London Paddington within approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.
