An elegant Georgian country house set within about 1.71 acres, this substantial five‑bedroom detached home offers classic proportions, high ceilings and extensive grounds including a heated outdoor pool and full-size tennis court. The principal reception rooms are bright and well-proportioned, with a drawing room that enjoys views over the walled rear garden and a dining/kitchen area fitted with an Aga and wood burning stove. A detached one‑bedroom Coach House provides useful secondary accommodation for guests, extended family or home‑office use.
The accommodation spans three floors and includes a principal bedroom with large en suite, three further first‑floor bedrooms and a generous family bathroom, plus a versatile attic room on the second floor. Practical spaces include a utility room, wine cellar, double garage and sweeping gravel driveway providing ample parking. The walled rear garden is private and sheltered; the front garden offers open countryside views across the Marlborough Downs.
Location is a major asset: the house sits within the Avebury World Heritage Site and is four miles from Marlborough, which offers schools (including Marlborough College) and amenities. Road access to the A34/M4 and rail links from nearby stations make commuting possible, while the immediate area suits countryside pursuits and family life.
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of F and oil‑fired central heating; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated. Broadband speeds are slow locally and council tax is described as quite expensive. There are only two bathrooms for five main bedrooms in the main house, so some updating and modernisation would improve comfort and energy performance. These factors should be weighed against the house’s size, character and extensive grounds.
