Description

Description

Village Farm is a beautiful period home situated in the sought-after village of Charlton located just 2 miles east of Malmesbury. Dating back to the 17th Century, the property’s stunning architecture is Grade II* Listed and merits a mention in Pevsner’s Buildings of England, constructed with a most impressive symmetrical frontage incorporating three tall gables and cross mullion windows while internally there are wonderful shutters, large stone fireplaces, flagstone flooring and chamfered beams. The substantial and elegant accommodation extends to around 400 sq.m spanning over three floors and in recent years a programme of restoration and updating has been in hand which includes upgrading the heating system with a new boiler, oil tank and pressurised water system.

The ground floor principally comprises two front reception rooms plus a delightful family room which is open plan to a large kitchen dining room at the rear. The characterful kitchen/dining room was formerly a milking parlour and listed building consent has been obtained to evolve this area further. On the first floor there are three generous bedrooms plus a magnificent library and office with vaulted ceiling. The superb main bedroom suite has an adjoining dressing room and en-suite bathroom which has been updated with a roll-top bath, large shower unit, and dual-sink vanity unit. There is a further shower room which has also been newly updated. The second floor showcases mesmerising vaulted beams and offers a large versatile landing alongside two bedrooms and a further bathroom.

Externally, a new private gated driveway at the front leads to a large gravelled parking area for numerous vehicles. The formal gardens are arranged to the front and side comprising three walled lawned areas. To the rear of the house and accessed by a secondary driveway from the side, there is a former farmyard leading to a double garage within a barn, stables, tack room, and a wonderful unconverted barn with a separate yard which has potential for an office or an annexe perhaps. The plot extends to 3.3 acres in total, including land of 2.4 acres that is divided into three principal paddocks ideal for the equestrian user with newly installed water points.

Situation

There are lovely walks surrounding the village. Malmesbury is the nearest town (about two miles) and is reputed to be the oldest borough in England created by Charter in 880 AD by Alfred the Great. Today, the High Street has numerous independent shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes, there is also a Waitrose and Aldi supermarkets plus a regular weekly Farmer's market. The town has an excellent choice of both primary and secondary schools and very good recreational and leisure facilities.
