Leigh, Swindon, Wiltshire

Positioned alongside a no-through country lane, Duchy Rag House is a light and airy home, offering the perfect balance of everyday living and entertaining. Upon entering, the large and welcoming entrance hall, with its open fire, creates an excellent first impression. The ground floor accommodation is thoughtfully laid out and includes an impressive drawing room with wood burner, dining room and a separate sitting room with a Jetmaster fire. To the rear, and overlooking the garden, is the kitchen/breakfast room with its oil-fired Alpha range cooker and adjoining conservatory. There is also a utility room and guest cloakroom on the ground floor. Two separate staircases lead up to the first floor with the principal and guest bedroom suites positioned on the western side of the house, and four further double bedrooms (one of which is en suite) as well as a family bathroom on the eastern side of the house.

Extending to approximately one acre, the garden is wonderfully mature and bordered by an established hedge. A large, paved terrace provides the idyllic location for al fresco entertaining and a gate at the far end of the lawn leads to the adjoining paddock, which itself is surrounded by fields.

There is the possibilty of purchasing up to 3 acres of additional paddock land via separate negotiation and to the front of the house there is ample parking along with a double garage.

Duchy Rag House is situated close to Minety, Leigh and Ashton Keynes. The market towns of Malmesbury and Cirencester are 10 and 9 miles away respectively with each offering a wide range of shops, bars, restaurants and supermarkets (Waitrose, Tesco, Aldi).

The area is well served by an excellent choice of both state and private schools. Communications are good, with easy access to Junction 16 of the M4 as well as regular train services to London Paddington from Kemble Station (8 miles) in around 75 minutes as well as from Swindon station (11 miles) taking from 55 minutes.
