About this listing

Set well back from Baker's Road, one of the oldest lanes in Wroughton, Woodham House East is the principal wing of Grade II listed Woodham House, an early 19th-century stucco villa. The house was once home to Aubrey Hastings, the racehorse trainer who brought national attention to Wroughton's racing yards. His horses included Brown Jack, who won the Champion Hurdle in 1928 and went on to win the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot six years in a row. The current owners have looked after the house carefully and kept its period character. Arranged over three floors and extending to approaching 3,000 sq ft, the accommodation comprises two large reception rooms, a study/library suited to working from home, a triple-aspect kitchen/dining/family room, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with potential to create a self-contained annexe (subject to any necessary listed building consent). Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 3,000 sq ft, the accommodation comprises two large reception rooms, a study/library suited to working from home, a dual-aspect kitchen/dining/family room, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with potential to create an annexe (subject to the necessary consents). Period features include working fireplaces, cornicing and deep skirting boards in the principal rooms. The kitchen has stone-tiled flooring and an AGA. To the side is a walled garden with a raised patio seating area that catches the sun and offers a good degree of privacy. To the front there is extensive driveway parking. To the rear, a courtyard gives access to a larger-than-average garage with generous storage. Wroughton has primary and secondary schools, a doctors' surgery, library, pubs and shops, and there is a Waitrose nearby at Wichelstowe. There is also a good choice of independent schools within easy reach, including Marlborough College (approximately 10 miles), Pinewood at Bourton (approximately 12 miles) and St Hugh's near Faringdon (approximately 19 miles). The market towns of Marlborough and Cirencester are around 20 and 25 minutes' drive away respectively. Swindon town centre is about 4 miles to the north, with mainline rail services to London Paddington (from around 55 minutes), South Wales and the West Country. The village sits roughly halfway between Junctions 15 and 16 of the M4. To the south are the Marlborough Downs, part of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, and the Ridgeway National Trail. Clouts Wood nature reserve, on the edge of the village, has footpaths for walking and riding. EPC Rating: D Council Tax Band: G Ref: RSWOOD
