Cuckoo's Knob, Wootton Rivers, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

Description

35-36 Cuckoo's Knob is believed to date from the 19th Century and was extensively renovated and extended in the mid-2000s, enjoying a delightful, peaceful location on the edge of the village of Wootton Rivers. With good ceiling heights and an abundance of natural light it offers a lovely home, beautifully presented throughout with spacious accommodation arranged over two floors.

The sitting room is a delight. Centred around the fireplace with wood burning stove, it is spacious yet retains a cosy feel and is flooded with natural light and double doors lead out to the garden beyond.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units including a central island and double doors opening out onto the paved terrace. The formal dining room is positioned in the middle of the property and is an excellent space for hosting families/friends and larger parties. This room is an incredibly flexible space and could double up as a games room or family/playroom.

Adjoining the kitchen is the useful utility/boot room with direct access to the garden and the modern full height and fully tanked cellar is accessed off the kitchen offering very useful additional storage space. The downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the landing leads off to all four bedrooms with incredible vaulted ceilings running throughout this floor. The expansive principal bedroom enjoys grand proportions with the added benefit of an ensuite shower room and separate walk-in wardrobe. The main guest room is located at the far end of the house and also boasts ensuite facilities. Every bedroom enjoys direct views over the garden with the two remaining double bedrooms being served by the well-appointed family shower room.
