Ogbourne St. George, Marlborough, SN8

Applegarth is a characterful Grade II* listed family home, believed to have origins in the Medieval period, with later 17th, 18th and 19th Century additions. The building is of banded flint and stone construction, extended by a chalkstone and brick dressing addition, all topped with a continuous thatched roof. The later double garage provides storage and self-contained ancillary accommodation.

This period family home provides great room sizes and period features. Historic character includes exposed beams, a fine stone fireplace with moulded arch and jams and wine-glass stops and a duck’s nest cast iron fireplace. The self-contained three main room ancillary accommodation offers flexibility for multiple uses. All set in wonderful grounds with a double garage and ample parking.

The generous flag stone floored entrance hall features integrated storage and provides access to the stunning dining room and sitting room plus the useful downstairs shower room. Off the hallway you find the cosy snug leads to the conservatory which opens to the terrace and gardens. The dining room leads through to the good-sized quintessential country kitchen/breakfast room with fitted units and the five oven Aga set within the tiled fireplace. The light and airy family room has French doors opening onto the terrace and gardens. Completing the ground floor are the useful pantry and utility room. The ground floor features a combination of wooden, flag stone and tiled floors and the kitchen/breakfast room also offers a separate staircase to the first floor.

Accessed from the main entrance hall staircase, the first floor provides four very generously sized, characterful bedrooms. All rooms feature integral storage and benefit from the two family bathrooms (one of which is directly accessible from two of the bedrooms). The first floor can be accessed both from the main staircase and an ancillary staircase which leads from the kitchen/breakfast room.

The attached brick built and tiled roof double garage building has additional storage rooms on the ground floor including access through to the boiler room. A separate entrance provides access to the self-contained ancillary accommodation. The ground floor of this area features a shower room and separate cloak room with stairs leading to the first floor where there are three main rooms which can be configured to your particular needs.
