Description

A beautiful period property located between the highly desirable villages of Sherston and Luckington.

Description

Vipers Lodge is a well-proportioned mid 17th Century Cotswold stone house that has been extended in recent years, situated between Sherston and Luckington, in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Turning into the driveway there is space for two cars to park side by side, before steps down, through the garden gates to the front door.

On entering the house there is a useful Hall area, perfect for leaving muddy boots and hanging coats, before going into the Kitchen/Breakfast Room; this area of the house is a later extension to the original cottage and creates wonderful open plan space for everyday living & cooking. The kitchen is beautifully designed with ample worktop space, storage and floating cupboards; two Belfast sinks; fully integrated double door fridge/freezer, ILVE gas cooker, ovens and extractor fan, NEFF microwave as well as a washing machine and dryer.

Leading through to the more formal Dining Room, where there is a beautiful original Cotswold stone fireplace with log burner and views out across the neighbouring fields. Continuing through to the Sitting Room, which again boasts a wonderful exposed natural stone fireplace with log burner and ample entertaining space. The Garden Room at the end of the house is a wonderfully light space with large French doors out to the lower garden.

The first and second floors comprise of four double bedrooms and a shared family bathroom. Each bedroom has been cleverly designed offering built in cupboards and pretty views; southerly views from the first floor bedrooms and East/West views from the second floor bedrooms.

Outside
The garden is split into two different areas, the lower garden nearest the house is neatly gravelled with a wide path leading up the hill and opening out into the upper garden; an unexpected oasis, which boasts a natural pond and orchard at one end of the garden. It is mostly laid to lawn with a boules pitch and a scattering of hazel nut trees, sloes and figs trees. The current owners have built a wonderful Summer House which would also lend itself very well to a home office/gym with a patio terrace below, perfect for al fresco dining and hosting.

Location

Vipers Lodge is located between the village of Luckington and hugely popular Cotswolds village of Sherston; in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property benefits from the pretty, undulating rural scenery and a wonderful network of local walks, whilst also enjoying all the benefits of a thriving village with its highly regarded pub (The Rattlebone), excellent village shop and post office, wine shop, primary school and doctors’ surgery. The prosperous towns of Tetbury and Malmesbury are nearby with Cirencester, Bath, Chippenham and Bristol only a little further afield. Tetbury is a desirable and traditional market town well known for its 17th and 18th Century architecture. Although the town is noted for its antiques and boutique shops, there are a wide range of shopping facilities including delicatessen, bakery, butcher and two supermarkets. There are a number of restaurants and cafés.

Vipers Lodge is also conveniently located with access to the M4 motorway at Junctions 17 and 18, which provide access to London and Heathrow Airport as well as Bristol and its international airport. The M4 links with the M5 motorway for the West Country and the North.

Train stations at Kemble and Chippenham provide direct train services to London Paddington from 75 minutes.

The local area offers an abundant range of activities, sporting events and recreational opportunities, and a large variety of village pubs, restaurants and hotels, including nearby Whatley Manor Hotel and Calcot Manor Hotel & Spa.

Other recreational pursuits include; golf at Westonbirt (pay&play) and at Minchinhampton Golf Club; Sailing at the Cotswold Water Park; Swimming and Gymnasium at Westonbirt School Sports Hall; Motor Racing at Castle Combe circuit. There is an enthusiastic Wiltshire county cricket league and football league of which Sherston is an important part. Bath, Bristol and Gloucester are home to top-level Rugby.

The National Arboretum at Westonbirt is a wonderful attraction and hosts a variety of excellent events throughout the spring, summer and autumn; from spring colours and open-air summer concerts to tours of the autumn colours and the “Enchanted Christmas” illuminations.

Aside from Sherston’s good primary school there is Malmesbury School which is rated outstanding by Offsted. The area is well reputed for its prep and public schools. These include Beaudesert Park, Westonbirt, Pinewood, Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Cheltenham College, St Mary’s School at Calne and Marlborough College. Bath and Bristol also offer a range of excellent private and grammar schools and the surrounding villages also have well attended primary schools.
