Brook Hill, Sherston, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, SN16

There is something rather lovely about this Sherston home. Tucked away within the village, it is just a few minutes' walk from the High Street and all that this much-loved Cotswold village has to offer. From the garden and upper floors, there are beautiful views across the water meadows and surrounding countryside, giving the house a wonderfully peaceful outlook.

With more than 1,730 sq ft of accommodation, this is a generous family home with plenty of space to spread out. A substantial extension to the rear has created a fabulous kitchen, dining and family room, which has become the natural hub of the house. With traditional timber-style cabinetry, a Smeg range cooker and plenty of room around the dining table, it is a lovely space for family life, entertaining and those occasions when everyone naturally gravitates to the kitchen. A separate utility room sits conveniently alongside.

The rest of the ground floor has a lovely, homely feel. The entrance hall provides useful fitted storage and access to a downstairs WC, while the sitting room is warm and inviting, with a wood-burning stove and charming window seats.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom, together with a versatile study. This could easily work as an occasional fifth bedroom, home office or somewhere for teenagers to escape to. It also gives access to the top floor, where the principal suite occupies the entire level.

This is perhaps one of the most special parts of the house. Beautiful exposed beams give the bedroom plenty of character, while there is also a generous dressing room and en-suite shower room. Best of all, the outlook is rather lovely, with views stretching across the countryside and water meadows. It feels like a peaceful retreat tucked away at the top of the house.

And then there is the garden, which is a real highlight. It enjoys sunshine throughout the day and has been thoughtfully arranged into two areas, each with its own feel. Immediately outside the kitchen, the stable door opens onto a pretty, low-maintenance garden with artificial lawn and mature beech hedging. It is an easy and inviting space for outdoor dining, morning coffee or simply opening the doors and letting the garden become an extension of the kitchen.

Steps lead up to the second garden and seating terrace, and this is where the setting really comes into its own. With lovely views over the surrounding countryside, it is peaceful, private and wonderfully relaxing. It feels like a little haven at the top of the garden — somewhere to sit with a glass of something cold and forget you are only moments from the village High Street.

The property is freehold, with oil-fired heating, mains water and electricity and private drainage, compliant with current regulations. Superfast broadband is currently being used at the property, although we would always recommend checking the Ofcom broadband and mobile coverage checker for the most up-to-date information. The property is also within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a conservation area, with Wiltshire Council Tax Band F.

There is immediate on-street parking directly opposite the property, while Sherston's High Street, shops, pubs and amenities are all within a short walk.

A lovely combination of generous family accommodation, a fabulous kitchen, characterful living spaces and a truly enjoyable garden, all in a wonderfully convenient village setting with beautiful views beyond.

Sherston is a much-loved Cotswold village with a lovely historic High Street, strong community and an excellent range of everyday amenities, including a popular primary school, Co-op, post office, doctors' surgery, cafés, pub and restaurant. There are plenty of clubs and village activities too, giving Sherston a wonderfully sociable feel.

Malmesbury and Tetbury are both around five miles away, offering a wider choice of shops, schools and services. For commuters, Kemble and Chippenham stations provide mainline services to London Paddington, while the M4 is easily accessible via Junctions 17 and 18.
