Badgers Rest is a Grade II listed farmhouse combining genuine 17th/18th‑century character with generous, modern living space. Thoughtfully doubled in size in 2000, the house offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a variety of reception rooms organised for family life and privacy — including two staircases and a principal suite with countryside views.
The property sits in a large plot overlooking meadows and the River Og, with a flat lawn, mature fruit trees and a cobbled terrace. A detached garage (2012) provides off‑road parking and a versatile room above, already wired for reliable Zen broadband, making it well suited to a home‑office or studio. Planning permission is in place for a two‑storey annexe/garden room to enhance outdoor living and views.
Practicalities are clear: the house has double glazing (post‑2002), oil‑fired boiler and radiators, and traditional stone walls likely without modern cavity insulation. EPC currently rated D. Notable constraints include the Grade II listing, which will restrict alterations and can add complexity and cost to works, and a medium flood risk for the area — both important for buyers to investigate. Broadband speeds in the main house are slow despite excellent mobile signal.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking period charm in a peaceful village setting with good access to Marlborough’s schools and amenities. It also offers refurbishment and extension potential (subject to listed‑building consent), making it appealing to buyers who value character and are prepared to manage the responsibilities that come with a listed rural farmhouse.
