Summary - LONGLEAZE FARMHOUSE SHRIVENHAM ROAD SOUTH MARSTON SWINDON SN3 4RT
Grade II listed thatched cottage on approximately 1.4 acre plot
Longleaze Farmhouse is a Grade II listed thatched cottage set in about 1.4 acres, combining period character with substantial outside space — private front and rear gardens, a small fruit orchard and an L-shaped paddock of roughly 0.7 acres. Inside, four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms sit around exposed beams and large inglenook fireplaces, offering comfortable family living and clear scope for sympathetic updating.
The site includes sizable outbuildings (one circa 1,100 sq ft), a workshop/store, garage/store and generous driveway parking — ideal for hobbies, home business use or equestrian/containers for smallholding uses. The rear garden is south-facing and private, with a paved patio and plenty of lawn for children and pets. Good road links (A420/A419/M4) put Swindon railway station about four miles away.
There are important practical considerations: the property’s listed status will limit alterations and can complicate repairs and insurance; the thatched roof will require specialist ongoing maintenance. Drainage is via a private septic tank, broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. The area data flags higher local crime levels, which buyers should factor into viewings.
This home is offered chain free and will suit buyers who value historic character and substantial grounds — families, hobby farmers or purchasers seeking a countryside base close to road links. It’s best seen in person to appreciate the scale of the plot and the potential of the outbuildings, while bearing in mind listing constraints and maintenance commitments.
