SN10 3NS
4 bed 2 bath Village House
Charming thatched home with extensive south-facing garden and versatile outbuildings.
Grade II listed village house dating from the 1650s with later additions
A rare, characterful family home in the heart of All Cannings, The Old Forge dates from the 1650s with Victorian additions and an 1980s extension. Recent investment includes a new thatch (2024) and the house retains many period features: fireplaces, a Rayburn kitchen with former bread oven, and double-aspect reception rooms that open to a sheltered terrace. The south-facing cottage garden of about 0.34 acres includes mature shrubs, fruit trees, a productive fruit cage, ornamental pond, well and greenhouse.
Practical benefits include substantial outbuildings (the former forge offers garaging and storage and could be considered for conversion subject to planning), gravelled parking for multiple cars, mains services, a water softener and fast broadband. The village setting provides a supportive community with a good primary school, shop and pub, while Devizes and Marlborough are within easy driving distance and Pewsey offers regular trains to London.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed building, which will restrict alterations and may complicate conversion plans for the outbuildings. Heating relies on night storage heaters and the Rayburn supplies hot water; some buyers may want to upgrade heating systems. Council tax is above average and the property will need ongoing maintenance typical of thatched, historic homes.
For families seeking a substantial, character-rich home with large gardens and versatile outbuildings in an affluent Wiltshire village, this property offers immediate charm and genuine long-term potential — provided the purchaser understands the constraints of listed status and the maintenance obligations of a thatched property.
