Burton, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN14

The small Wiltshire village of Burton, nestled in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty a couple of miles northwest of Castle Combe, serves as the picturesque setting for this beautifully presented substantial Grade II listed home. Originally a coaching inn dating back to the 16th century and operating as a pub until 2000, the property’s sympathetic restoration has transformed it into a comfortable modern dwelling arranged over three floors. Set within a generous plot that includes a large garden, double garaging, and gated parking for several cars, this residence features five bedrooms – four of which are en suite – providing ample space for all. The owners describe The Old Plume as 'spacious yet unassuming, exuding a wealth of character yet feeling luxuriously modern'. Ensuring the house is up-to-date, comfortable, and fully functional, recent updates include new ensuite bathrooms, fitted furniture and storage in the bedrooms and home office, automatic garage doors, and a full decoration. A home perfect for filling with friends and family, it boasts a large kitchen, a cosy sitting room, and a dining room able to accommodate large numbers. ‘We love that the kitchen is big enough for simultaneous cooking and socialising without anyone being in each other’s way,’ say the owners. Outside, the garden offers a variety of distinct areas, catering to different preferences and activities. From the patio to the tranquil middle Mediterranean terrace, and further on to the vegetable patch and flower beds, the garden presents a diverse array of spaces. There's even a top field where one can enjoy a friendly game of football or a camp out. Additionally, its rural location doesn't compromise access to civilisation, as it's just a five-minute drive from Junction 18 of the M4, providing convenient connections to the M5, Wales, Bath, Bristol, Chippenham, and all the attractions of the Cotswolds region.

‘We love how easy it is for everyone to spill out of the kitchen doors onto the sunny patio area and out into the garden.’

‘The garden isn’t overlooked by any other houses and backs onto fields that often have friendly horses grazing - these fields provide excellent blackberry picking while the garden has three apple trees.’

‘Despite its central village location, both house and garden enjoy a great deal of space and privacy.’

‘We have lovely neighbours who also run the village farm shop and The Old House at Home is a wonderful pub serving great food.’
