The Street, Marden, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10

Description

A beautiful five bedroom family house, of brick elevations under a tiled roof with a lovely homely feel. Believed to date from the early 1900's the house has been the subject of extensions over the years and offers large principal living spaces while retaining real sense of flow throughout.

Upon entering the cottage you are greeted into the large hallway with fireplace, the perfect place for kicking off muddy boots and coats and sitting and warming after a long winter walk. There is a reception room which is currently utilised as a study but would make for a wonderful family room or playroom for younger children. The real heart of the home is the superb kitchen/breakfast room with double doors opening out onto the rear garden, great for children and family alike to come and go from outside and ideal for entertaining. The principal reception room leads off the kitchen with glorious vaulted ceilings looking due west, onto the rear garden. A utility/boot room with WC completes the downstairs accommodation.

The first floor offers five double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being of very generous proportions and flooded with light due to being dual aspect. The bedrooms are served by two bathrooms, one being a shower room and the other having a bath and separate shower. The house enjoys a large attic space and good storage.

Outside

The gardens are predominantly to the rear, and mainly laid to lawn with a range of mature ornamental trees and hedges, with open views over paddocks to the rear. There is a good paved area under a large pergola ideal for al fresco dining. There is a single integral garage and generous parking at the front.
