Description

Nestled in a quiet corner of the idyllic village of West Overton near Marlborough in Wiltshire you will find the enchanting thatched chocolate box cottage. 77 West Overton has featured (as "Faerie Door Cottage") in numerous home and style magazines including Country Living and on the front cover of Period Living where it's beautiful thatch takes pride of place. It was also placed at No 5 in The Times article "Top Twenty Cosiest Cottages in Britain!".

The property, built during the 17th century, abounds with charm and original features, including its glorious thatch roof, sitting within a pretty, secluded garden, with bountiful borders and further outbuildings. The ground floor comprises a spacious central kitchen/dining room, framed by character beams.. A Belfast sink sits between a good selection of storage units and work surfaces enjoying views over the garden; integrated appliances complete this space. Like the kitchen the light yet cosy sitting room benefits from a wood burning stove, housed within the original brick fireplace, and enjoys a feature window seat providing the perfect spot to curl up with a book. Beyond the kitchen you will find a well-equipped scullery and cloak/shower room, with further access to the outside space.

Ascend one of two staircases to the first floor and you will find two generous, characterful bedrooms serviced by the luxurious bathroom, complete with elegant free standing bath. Completing the first floor is the snug/third bedroom, the ideal spot for a playroom, home office or indulgent dressing room.

Outside

Steps lead up to the garden, which is tucked away behind the cottage, offering seclusion and privacy. Thoughtful planting, well stocked borders and trellised sections partition the outside space, creating areas to relax and recharge. Original outbuildings flank a pretty patio.

Situation

The highly popular rural village of West Overton lies within the Upper Kennet Valley surrounded by rolling down land countryside which is designated as an AONB and benefits from a well regarded Indian The Burj at The Bell. The old market town of Marlborough is about 4 miles to the east and it offers a good range of services and amenities including a wide range of shops, various pubs and restaurants and a sports centre with an indoor swimming pool. West Overton is within the St. Johns Academy catchment area and is also close to Marlborough College. To London by rail, Pewsey (about 6 miles) providing access to London Paddington (1hr15) and M4 motorway at either junctions 14 or 15 is within easy reach. The centres of Bath, Salisbury and Newbury are within a 30 mile radius.
