Fieldhead 1-2 Grafton Road | Burbage | Wiltshire | SN8 3AP
STEP INSIDE Fieldhead
Occupying a generous plot on the edge of the picturesque Wiltshire village of Burbage, Fieldhead offers the ideal opportunity for those looking to renovate a traditional Grade II listed building. Formerly 2 cottages now untied as one property, it is bursting with potential to improve sensitively, whilst making the most of the many interesting period features found with abundance throughout. Lying within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Burbage is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the nearby ancient Savernake Forest offers 4500 acres of glorious oak woodland to explore. The village itself benefits from a mini supermarket with post office and public house in addition to a primary school which is part of the Excalibur Academies Trust with close links to St John’s Academy Marlborough with St Francis, Pewsey close by and there are direct secondary school bus routes to Dauntsey’s School and Rookwood, Andover. The village has its own doctors’ surgery. The nearby market town of Marlborough provides for almost all other amenities and access to London is made easy from stations at Pewsey, Great Bedwyn and Hungerford with direct services to Paddington taking around an hour. Ground Floor: A charming country kitchen complete with range and plentiful cupboard space offers views to the rear garden. The dining room and sitting rooms are both fitted with working log burners, and the inglenook fireplace in the sitting room is quite a feature. The two previous entrance porches that are no longer in use are used as excellent storage areas. There’s a downstairs shower room off the rear hall in addition to the WC off the entrance hall. A garden/family room has been added to the ground floor, with patio doors out to the rear terrace. First Floor: There are 2 staircases to the first floor and 4 bedrooms, a bathroom and study can be found at this level. There are characterful beams, and useful storage built into the eaves where possible. Like the ground floor, there are opportunities to remodel the accommodation dependent on requirements.
STEP OUTSIDE Fieldhead
Outside: The property is approached via a shared driveway leading to a gravel drive which leads past the house and to the double garage beyond. The generous garden has been predominantly laid to lawn and is fully enclosed, being bordered by hedging and fencing on all sides. Location: The village of Burbage lies to the south of Marlborough, beyond the vast and beautiful Savernake Forest. The North Wessex Downs is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and when exploring many of the abundant footpaths and trails, it is not difficult to see why. The Kennet and Avon Canal passes just north of the village and can be a delightful place for a towpath walk all year around. Fieldhead is situated on the edge of the village and is located just a short walk away from the mini supermarket with the post office. Further afield, Pewsey offers a wider range of amenities, and the thriving market town of Marlborough (approx. 6 miles to the north) has a diverse range of shops from boutique outlets to national chains such as Waitrose.
