Description

Attractive Grade II listed thatched farmhouse with sizable rear garden within which lies a traditional Grade II listed thatched barn.

Lot 1 - The Property - A charming Grade II listed farmhouse, with the original part believed to date back to the late 16th or early 17th century and includes prominent timber framed with brick infill front and side elevations common with the time periods. The roof is thatched, with the ridge having recently been renewed. The house has numerous period features throughout, retaining much of the original charm and character with exposed beams and features three stone fireplaces, the largest of which is located in the main living room.

Situation - West End Farmhouse is located in the charming village of Urchfont, known for its vibrant community spirit. The village features an excellent primary school, a post office/community shop, a public house, a church, and good recreational facilities. It is positioned on the edge of the North Wessex Downs, a designated National Landscape that extends across northwest Wiltshire. The historic market town of Devizes, just 3.5 miles away, offers a variety of amenities and leisure options, as do both Pewsey and Marlborough, 10 miles and 14 miles respectively. Additionally, Salisbury, Bath, and Swindon are within easy reach, providing a fully comprehensive range of services. Train services operate from Pewsey to Paddington, while the M4 motorway is accessible to the north (junctions 16 and 17) and the A303/M3 to the south. There are also well-regarded schools in the nearby areas of Marlborough, Market Lavington, Devizes, and Pewsey.

Outbuildings And Gardens - An attractive, mostly lawned front garden is divided by a path to the front door . A driveway leads to the rear of the house, were there is extensive parking area. The main garden lies to the rear of the house and is mostly laid to lawn with mature fruit trees and a greenhouse. A traditional Grade II listed thatch barn has been extended over the years and has potential for conversion to additional accommodation subject to obtaining all of the relevant planning permissions.

Lot 2 - Land - Lot 2 consists of a singular paddock measuring 2.36 acres, which includes small field shelter measuring 5.00m X 6.50m .
