About this listing

Orchard View Cottage is a picturesque, 'chocolate box cottage' set within a mature and idyllic, private garden with features such as an old fallen apple tree and a functional well. It has been meticulously looked after and upgraded throughout recent years with a new thatch roof within the last 8 years as well as a new boiler, oil tank, wood burner, ground floor flooring and kitchen all within the last 4 years. The characterful accommodation briefly comprises: recently fitted bespoke made kitchen, designed to be sympathetic to the properties character while still being functional around its quirks with features such as a generous built in pantry, stable door and new LVT flooring; cosy sitting room with exposed beams and fantastic inglenook fireplace enhanced by functional log burning stove; downstairs bedroom with accompanying shower room making for a fantastic accommodation for guests or more independent family members. Upstairs the main bedroom has views across the garden and is surrounded by original features such as the timber A-Frame roof and wooden floor. Adjoining the main bedroom is a jack and jill style en-suite which leads through to a further bedroom/office. Externally is a daydream with a wrap around garden which has been sectioned and moulded over centuries to be as functional as it is pretty and peaceful. To the rear you have a recently laid cobblestone patio alongside a seating area built around a fully functional well with a pump and hose pipe connection. Just past the patio is a generous lawn with mature borders of plants, hedges and even some fruit trees too, with one very old apple tree standing out as it lays almost horizontal like something out of a fairy tale. Alongside the lawn is four raised beds, a storage shed, a pergola wrapped in grape vines and a aesthetic and hand selected flower garden, perfect to sit with a morning coffee or dine alfresco. To the front is a gated, gravelled driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and enough space for a oak framed carport or alike (STPP). A lovely period home in a delightful rural setting with glorious open countryside on your doorstep. Warmed by oil central heating with the previously mentioned, recently installed boiler and oil tank and enhanced by secondary glazing too. Marston is a picturesque rural hamlet, surrounded by miles of rolling countryside with lovely views all around. For those who enjoy the great outdoors there is excellent riding (both horse and bicycle) and walking on the doorstep. The house is c.4 miles from the thriving town of Devizes where there is a weekly produce and antiques market, a range of supermarkets and independent shops, restaurants, and cafes. Alongside a range of annual festivals there is a cinema, theatre, and leisure centre. Westbury, eight miles to the other side has a mainline rail station with fast connections to London. Locally there is a good range of schooling for all ages, both state and private including, Lavington, Dauntsey's, Warminster and Stonar. PROPERTY INFORMATION. TENURE: Freehold.
