Description
***End of Chain ***Apple Tree Cottage is well positioned on the edge of Great Bedwyn, set within approximately 2 acres and enjoying a strong village community with everyday amenities. Marlborough is nearby for a wider range of shops, restaurants and services, while Bedwyn station offers direct rail links to London. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and within reach of excellent local schools, the setting perfectly balances rural living with convenience.
Apple Tree Cottage has remained in the same family for over 50 years and offers a wonderful blend of historic charm, seclusion and accessibility. Surrounded by open countryside and enjoying a secluded setting, the property enjoys a genuine sense of peace and privacy that is increasingly hard to find.
The house boasts a wealth of original features, including exposed beams and traditional detailing, all reflecting its centuries-old heritage. The accommodation is both charming and practical.
You enter through a spacious hall with original flooring, leading to a good-sized office. To the left, there is a lovely living room complete with a log burner, which flows nicely into the dining room. This then opens up to the kitchen and dining space, overlooking the gardens and forming a natural hub of the home.
Upstairs, you will find four good-sized bedrooms, three of which feature built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and a spacious dressing room.
Whilst the property would now benefit from updating, it presents an exciting opportunity to sensitively restore and enhance a home of real architectural character, allowing a new owner to create something truly special over time.
Great Bedwyn is widely regarded as one of Wiltshire’s most desirable villages, known for its strong sense of community and excellent day-to-day amenities, including a well-supported village shop and post office, and popular public houses. The village is particularly prized for its direct rail links to London Paddington, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a rural lifestyle without compromising on connectivity.
The area is also well regarded for schooling, with Great Bedwyn Church of England School, St John’s Marlborough and Marlborough College all within easy reach.
The gardens and grounds are a defining feature, extending to approximately 2 acres. The established gardens wrap around the house, offering space, privacy and a strong connection to the beautiful surrounding countryside. The flowering apple tree is a particular highlight and gives the property its identity. The grounds are ideally suited for a tennis court or swimming pool if desired.
