A detached period house which is understood to have been a number of estate cottages integrated and extended in later years to form, in the agent’s opinion, a lovely family home with great character. The property has an attractive open plan kitchen / breakfast room with high ceiling and a lovely rural outlook plus good sized reception and living accommodation. There is a recently constructed double garage with studio above and there are excellent equestrian facilities including American style barn with stabling as well as a manege and adjoining paddocks.
The property is situated on the outskirts of the small village of Charlton and is within walking distance of the Horse & Groom public house. The village also has a village hall and the famous Charlton Park Estate. The nearby attractive Cotswold Towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury are within easy driving distance and offer a wide range of facilities and amenities. The M4 is also easily accessed to the south. By crossing over the road directly from the property there is access onto a small country lane and within a short distance there is access to a bridleway and lovely outriding in the area.
