Set in approx. 1.2 acres a spacious four bedroom detached village house with stabling, paddocks and mature gardens within the lovely rural village of Great Somerford and in easy M4 access
An excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious detached village house with stabling, paddocks and lovely mature grounds.
Great Somerford is situated within the M4 corridor and is a popular rural village with a good community, which currently has a shop within short walking distance of the property as well as a public house, and local village activities and amenities including a church. More extensive facilities are offered by the nearby historic town of Malmesbury including a hospital, Abbey ruins and a number of public houses and restaurants. The property is also readily accessible to Swindon via the M4, the Roman city of Bath and Bristol beyond.
The property itself has been utilised by the vendors family for private residential and private equestrian use and falls within the Beaufort Hunt country (with Thursday meets) and The Vale of White Horse (Wednesday meets) There is also a local Pony Club, and, we understand, access to bridleways within a short hack of the property.
It is fair to say that the property would benefit from some updating, and it should be noted that some more immediate works do need to be carried out on the rear Garden Room.
We understand the property is within the catchment area for the well known Walter Powell Junior School. Further excellent schooling within the area includes Malmesbury School, as well as Westonbirt and others in the area.
