East Kennett, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

Description

2 Church Lane is a Grade II Listed, semi-detached house located on a no through lane within the desirable village of East Kennett. The house is brimming with character, with its sarsen stone and brick elevations under a thatched roof but would now benefit from updating. The house is close to footpaths and has easy access to beautiful walks in the countryside around the Marlborough Downs and is close to the Avebury World Heritage Site.

There is deceptively spacious and stylish accommodation including generous ground floor reception rooms and of particular note is the sitting room, which enjoys great proportions and offers a wonderful space to entertain. The dining room has a wonderful feel and is centred around the fireplace and woodburning stove.

At the rear of the property is a well fitted kitchen with pantry and from here you can access the garden. There’s also a good-sized downstairs bathroom and planning permission has been granted (PL/2024/07376) for an extension into the outbuildings to provide a larger kitchen, study and upstairs, a bathroom.

Stairs lead up to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms. There is a substantial attic space which is insulated and boarded for storage. The property is decorated in sympathetic colour tones making this a very appealing period house.

Outside

A particular feature are the large cottage gardens to the side and rear. The mature rear garden offers a wonderful space and is in excess of 175 feet long. This extensive garden is laid to lawn, with a range of mature shrubs and trees. There is a small orchard area and beyond it a productive vegetable garden. Planning permission has been approved to create two parking spaces to the side of the property.

Situation
