Large listed village house with 1.2 acres, paddock and modern glazed extension..
Grade II listed — restrictions and consent requirements likely
Pheasants Cottage is a substantial Grade II listed village house offering almost 2,908 sqft of adaptable family accommodation on about 1.2 acres. The property combines period charm — exposed stone elevations, thatch, fireplaces and dormers — with a contemporary rear extension that creates a generous kitchen/dining/family room with bifold doors and excellent indoor–outdoor flow.
The ground floor provides flexible living: a dual-aspect sitting room with wood-burning stove, a snug, a study/family room (also with stove) and a large kitchen island with a butler’s sink plus a utility/boot room. Upstairs the principal bedroom has walk-in wardrobes and an ensuite; three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the layout. Outside there are well-maintained, private gardens, terraces, an orchard, paddock with basic stabling and parking for several cars, with scope for further parking or a garage (STPP).
Important practical points are stated plainly. The house is Grade II listed — this preserves character but will restrict alterations and can complicate works and consents. Heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators and the current energy rating is E. The stone walls were built without added insulation (assumed), and council tax is band G (relatively expensive). Broadband and mobile coverage are average, and the setting is rural yet just three miles from Marlborough.
This property will suit buyers seeking a large, characterful family home with space for hobbies or small-scale equestrian use who accept the responsibilities of owning a listed, older building. For those who value privacy, garden roominess and countryside outlooks close to Marlborough, the cottage offers a rare combination of period features and a light-filled modern family hub.
