Ground Floor:

Upon entering Baydon Cote, a spacious porch leads into the grand open plan living, dining and kitchen space with views through to the garden via bi-fold doors; flooded with light from the vaulted ceiling, this property is an ideal home for entertaining. The large multi-purpose utility sits adjacent, offering flexibility in its potential and is equipped with second kitchen facilities; the wine fridge in the kitchen is an excellent addition when hosting dinner parties and the warming drawer is perfect when making the perfect Christmas dinner. Designed in Germany and built in Baydon, the meticulous attention to detail bestows Baydon Cote with modern elegance; marble sills line each window, underfloor heating is present throughout the ground floor, an Italian sapele wood staircase to the upper floor, instant boiling hot water tap, in-built AEG appliances and Zehnder ComfoAirQ heat recovery system maximise the efficiency of the properties’ space and economic standing as an eco-smart home. The property earns status as a Passivhaus; with thermal bridge free design, it is sealed airtight to permit the ventilation system, ensuring temperatures are constant and of the utmost comfort due to the quality insulation and superior windows, resulting in the internal temperature remaining unaffected by outdoor weather. A spacious family room is positioned at the front of the property that can also be comfortably used as an office. With additional storage space adjacent to the porch, there is also the downstairs bathroom equipped with a standing shower.

First Floor:

A balcony overlooking the living space ensures that the communal atmosphere is shared with the first floor, linking the double bedrooms on one side with the family bathroom and double bedrooms on the other and bathed with natural light from the vaulted ceiling windows. Each of the large double bedrooms feature both traditional double-glazed windows and skylights to maximise the organic lighting available. The bright and spacious family bathroom is equipped with twin vanities — ideal for busy schedules in modern family life — and a bath with shower overhead. The principal double bedroom boasts a generous walk-in wardrobe and sizeable en-suite with twin vanities and freestanding shower. The impressive scale of the rooms is complemented by having fully boarded loft storage, essential for housing the mementos of life.

Outside:

With three separate access points, the large slate-paved patio provides a sleek contrast to the beautifully rendered exterior, wrapping around the property with storage available to each side of the property and provides ample space for outdoor dining, relaxation and entertaining. The separately controlled electronic awning permits year-round barbecues, grills or evening drinks no matter the season. The laid to lawn garden is slightly raised above the patio with matching slate steps leading to a smooth-finished boardwalk that leads to the rear-decking and outbuilding that can be adapted to suit a variety of potentials. The paved driveway sits to the front of the property, suitable for multiple vehicles for family and guests.

Location:

A village shop within a few minutes’ walk provides many daily essentials and includes a post office counter too. The village pub has an excellent restaurant offering too, and is popular with the locals. A gentle countryside walk to the nearby villages of Aldbourne and Ramsbury can take in some enchanting views across this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is perhaps best punctuated by a refreshing pint and a bite to eat at The Bell in Ramsbury, an award winning 300 year-old coaching inn with delicious food and drink. The thriving market town of Marlborough, around 10 miles to the south offers a fantastic range of shopping, from small independent boutiques like The Merchant’s House, Packaging Not Included, and The White Horse Bookshop; to national retailers such as Waitrose, WH Smith and Tesco. There are also plenty of excellent dining options such as Dan’s at The Crown, Rick Stein and Bunce’s to name just a few. Many families are attracted to the area for the excellent schooling on offer in both the private and state sectors. Local options include Baydon Primary School (state), Pinewood (private), Marlborough College (private) and St. John’s in Marlborough (state).

For travel, the M4 motorway is easily accessed within minutes and the railway stations at Hungerford (approx. 7 miles away) and Swindon (approx. 10 miles away) offer excellent direct services to London Paddington. An ideal location for those looking for a more rural setting but with connections allowing a regular commute if necessary.
