Spacious period village house with huge private gardens and annexe potential.
Six large bedrooms, principal suite with Juliette balcony
Christmas House is a substantial, non‑listed 1850 village house set in circa 5.58 acres of gardens, orchard and paddock. The house spreads over three floors with bright, generously proportioned reception rooms, a vaulted garden room and six bedrooms — including a triple‑aspect principal suite with Juliette balcony and walk‑in wardrobe. Mature, sheltered gardens and a sweeping gravel drive with double garage complete the picture for a family seeking space and privacy in a rural setting.
The estate includes useful outbuildings such as a converted Bake House (used as office/gym/cinema) and a separate office/hobbies room that could serve as an annexe for guests or extended family. Practical features include an electric Aga, electric car charger and private drainage. There is easy access to Marlborough, Avebury and transport links to Swindon and the M4.
Important considerations: the property uses oil heating and private drainage, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The plot adjoins a public footpath across the paddock and the site has a medium flood risk — matters buyers will want to review with a surveyor and local authority. Overall this is a large, characterful family home with significant outdoor space and versatile ancillary accommodation.
