Set in a peaceful hamlet near Purton, this substantial stone-built home blends period character with practical family living. The ground floor offers flexible reception space — an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with French doors to the patio, a sitting room with an inglenook and wood-burner, a formal dining room, plus a garden room and home office. Oak floors, exposed beams and dressed stone walls add authentic charm.
Four double bedrooms occupy the first floor, including a master with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is spacious with a separate shower and large bath. Practical features include a utility room leading to the double garage (electric roller door), driveway parking for two cars, ample storage and fast broadband in this rural location.
Outside, the large, landscaped gardens provide level lawns, deep borders, patios, decking, a summer house and a timber shed, with open views over neighbouring fields. The plot is generous and private — ideal for families who value outdoor space and countryside living but want good access to Swindon and local schools.
Important practical points: heating is oil-fired to radiators and drainage is via a private septic tank. The stone walls are original with assumed lack of cavity insulation, and the property dates from before 1900. Council Tax is high (Band F). These facts are important to budgeting ongoing running and maintenance costs.
