Seller Insight:

What is your favourite room of the house and why?

The orangery which has beautiful views of the garden that we have worked hard to maintain. We always opened our Christmas presents in here so it has special memories.

Who do you think would be the next ideal owner?

We think a family would be ideal for the house, there are enough bathrooms and bedrooms for children and even an extra playroom in the ‘long’ bedroom over the garage. Plenty of garden to explore in with modern amenities and plenty of light. There’s also the possibility of adding another bathroom in the room over the garage or go up again into the loft for 2 more bedrooms.

What do you love most about the house and why?

We love it all as we designed the layout to suit us! We are so keen on the garden as well, as we have enjoyed maintaining it over the years.

What do you love about the local community?

We have lived in the village from 1976 and have always loved the countryside and views and have had a huge number of friends that live here. Now there are a lot more younger families which we love seeing and hearing them all playing outside on the warmer days. It’s beautifully picturesque and a perfect location for us.

How easy is it to commute from here?

To London it’s about an hour and a half up the M4, Bristol in an hour on the M4, Bath about the same on the back roads. 40 mins approx to Swindon and of course there is the train from Pewsey to Paddington.

What made you choose this property over others that were available at the time?

We wanted to stay in the village when we made the decision to ‘downsize’ from Glebe House next door and so sought planning permission to build Beech House with future planning in mind. We never regretted our decision.
