The Village - A fascinating and thriving village surrounded by history and interest. From Neolithic long barrows, sites of special scientific interest, 13th century church, well attended pre and primary school, and one of the biggest Steam Fairs in the country, it really is the best kept secret in Wiltshire. It provides convenient access to the A4 for Marlborough, Bath or south to Devizes, whilst being far enough from traffic, that the only thing you are likely to hear at night are the Owls hooting!

The Property - Home Farm Close was built on the site of the original dairy and follows the feel and line of the barns. Indeed, the house martins come back every year to nest where their forebears have always done. We will park on the driveway and walk through the side gate into the enclosed front garden. Along the path and right into a covered porch and through the front door into the hall. A staircase rises to the first floor with large cupboard below and a door straight ahead opens into the downstairs cloakroom. Turning left we walk into the open plan dining room with windows overlooking the front garden with views up to Kings Play Hill. A great size room currently accommodating a table which easily seats 10. Right into the study or play room which overlooks the rear garden.

Designed with the cook in mind whilst satisfying the desire for contemporary style, high gloss white units with contrasting black granite worksurfaces and centre island. Integrated appliances include two dishwashers, two ovens and grills, steam/conventional oven and microwave/conventional oven. Larder fridge and tall freezer. 5 ring induction hob with feature extractor unit and boiling water tap over an underhung sink with waste disposal below. The island unit has breakfast bars at either end with multi colour LED feature lighting below. There is a drawer and cupboard for everything you might need, with space to spare. This room has a window to the front and door out into the rear garden. Right into the utility room with space for appliances, storage cupboards, sink and oil fired boiler for the central heating. Lastly, back through to the hall and straight on into the drawing room.

Ok that is downstairs, let's go up.
