This house near Swindon seems to have something for everyone, and everything.

From one angle it is “cottagey” and from another, it is “grand”, while it also offers amenities for a horse, according to seller Brearley & Rich.

They say about the four-bed detached house: “This charming property…  has different aspects with a grand façade to the south with a more cottagey feel with later extensions to the rear”, writes Brearley & Rich.(Image: Brearley & Rich)

From one angle, the thatched house appears smaller than it really is, as the extensions that make up the property are hidden by trees.

However, from the rear the true scale of the house is apparent. The 1.2-acre home contains four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms.

The “superb” kitchen-diner is contained within a modern extension. It is open-plan with a central island, stone floor, and dining table.(Image: Brearley & Rich)

Bi-fold doors open out onto “glorious” gardens, while a skylight lets in plenty of light.

On colder days, a woodburning stove and underfloor heating will ensure the extension stays warm. 

The seller says about this space: “The property offers light, airy and spacious accommodation throughout, most notably in the recently added superb kitchen/dining room.(Image: Brearley & Rich)

“This addition provides an excellent focal point and everyday living space.”

It may be that when colder, darker days draw in you too will draw into the older underbelly of the house.

It is in the original structure that you will find a “delightful” sitting room with a wood-burning stove.(Image: Brearley & Rich)

There is also a “generous” size family room, also currently providing “excellent study or work from home space, also with a gas fire”. 

Meanwhile, the reception hall also has underfloor heating to warm the toes of newly arrived guests while they hang their jackets in the adjacent cloakroom.

Perhaps the cosiest part of the house is what is called the “snug”, which overlooks the garden.(Image: Brearley & Rich)

It is in this garden that we find what we all came for, the horse paddock. Partly hidden from the house by trees, it stands next to a greenhouse and contains plenty of space to swing a pony.(Image: Brearley & Rich)Located in Lower Fyfield, “this pretty village is located approximately 3 miles from Marlborough and has a notable 13th Century church”.

About 30 minutes south of Swindon and 10 north of Marlborough, this house further combines the countryside and access to urban centres.

The house has no recent listing history.
