KEY FEATURES
Accommodation Summary:
Ground Floor:
The communal layout is perfect for families and guests to enjoy, starting with the living room — which includes a Jøtul stove for the colder months. The open layout flows elegantly around the property, blending into the dining room and finishes with the recently remodelled open plan kitchen designed by John Lewis, alongside modern appliances including a Rangemaster cooker. This generous space enjoys plenty of light due to the surrounding windows, complemented by the dining room’s vaulted ceiling and French doors opening onto the front patio. Of the two double bedrooms on the ground floor, one benefits from a discreet ensuite bathroom including a rainfall shower. The second ground floor bedroom has a garden view, with French doors out to the rear of the property, meaning this room can be flexibly used if not required as bedroom space. A spacious family bathroom is also available with room for utilities such as washer/dryer.
First Floor:
The brightly lit landing joins the double rooms on the first floor at either end of the property, each with lavish, spot-lit ensuites equipped with both traditional and rainfall showers. The principal bedroom also includes a dressing room and overlooks the garden to the rear with access to a balcony, perfect for a relaxed breakfast in the morning or enjoying the view accompanied by a glass of wine in the evening.

KEY FEATURES
Outside:
Bordered by a large patio on one side, including storage access to the side of the property, the North-East facing garden is lush with all manner of flora infusing the outdoors with glorious scents of freshness and natural English beauty. Flower beds guide the edges of the lawn to one of three beautiful water features, creating an idyllic countryside scene, ideal for entertaining and outdoor dining. Gardening enthusiasts will delight in the presence of Malvern roses and Generous Gardener amongst other flowers that populate the garden, seasonally entwined in the lattice archway leading to the vegetable patch; reached by the paved and woodchipped paths that weave beneath the cover of coniferous trees. When respite and reflection is required, the miniature zen bridge over the rock pebble stream provides relief, adjacent to the two larger ponds, beneath the canopy of another majestic pine, the perfect thoughtful spot to embrace mindfulness. The Yew tree at the front of the property is thought to be over 500 years old. On a practical note there are external electrical and water supplies, with several rainwater harvesting points, a greenhouse and 2 garden sheds.
INFORMATION
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.
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.
The village itself benefits from a 24-hour garage with mini supermarket and post office, a public house and both a pre and primary school, which is part of the Excalibur Academies Trust with close links to St John’s Academy Marlborough. St Francis, Pewsey is close by and there are direct secondary school bus routes to Dauntsey’s School and Rookwood, Andover. The village also 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.
