Marston Meysey, Wiltshire

The Duck House is a wonderfully characterful home, thoughtfully arranged across three floors and offering flexible accommodation ideal for both family living and entertaining. Internally, the property is well-presented, having been maintained, updated and modernised yet still retaining many original features including oak beams and exposed stone walls.

The entrance hall provides access to a downstairs cloakroom and opens into a superb 30ft sitting room, complete with a feature fireplaces and ample space for both relaxation and entertaining. To the rear, a dining/garden room has recently been upgraded to a fully insulated solid structure, allowing the space to be comfortably enjoyed throughout the year as a dining room or additional living area, overlooking the garden.

The kitchen has direct access onto the garden via a stable door and features a dual-fuel range cooker and ample storage cupboards. Leading directly off, via a small additional preparation area, is the utility room.

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, including a double-aspect principal bedroom which enjoys generous natural light. A contemporary family bathroom, complete with both bath and separate shower, serves this floor.

An open staircase leads to the second-floor landing which showcases an impressive, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and feature stone walls. This leads to two further bedrooms, each with unique character, one of which is a double bedroom, the other being a perfect room for children or for use as a home office.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a secluded paved terrace, offering an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months. The garden is well-maintained and benefits from an open, westerly aspect.

At the foot of the garden path lies access to a private gravelled driveway providing off-road parking. From here, residents can enjoy direct access to a network of picturesque footpaths, fields and countryside walks, making the location especially attractive for outdoor enthusiasts.

The Duck House is situated in the heart of Marston Meysey, an active village with a playground, village hall, gastro pub and church. Nestled in the Cotswolds countryside, on the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border, the village is surrounded by open farmland and is also well placed for access to key towns, amenities and activities, including The Cotswold Water Park and the Royal International Air Tattoo.

Fairford and Cricklade provide a range of everyday shops, cafes and services, while the larger centres of Cirencester and Swindon offer broader retail, educational and transport options. The property is well located for access to the A419 and M4 motorway, providing routes to London, Bristol, and the wider South West.
