Detached house for sale in Oldbury Fields, Cherhill, Calne, Wiltshire SN11

Description

Located moments from the Cherhill Monument and surrounded by stunning countryside, 8 Oldbury Fields dates originally from the mid 1800’s when it was a barn used as part of Bell Farm. It was skilfully extended and converted in 2000 to create a stunning family home. Constructed of red brick elevations relieved by double glazed casement windows under a slate roof, the property carefully combines the old and new to provide a contemporary house with traditional features including beams in many of the rooms.

The property is light and spacious throughout and particularly so in the bespoke fitted kitchen painted in Farrow & Ball Elephants Breath with an extensive range of Miele and De Dietrich appliances with a Quooker hot water tap. Additionally, there is a fitted walnut larder. The dining area is glass with bi fold doors allowing the outside in.

The large sitting room benefits from a feature brick fireplace with wood burning stove and original beam. There is no shortage of reception space in this sublime family house, and the flexible ground floor accommodation also includes a home office, playroom and cinema room.

On the first floor the magnificent and expansive principal bedroom offers a dressing area with a range of fitted wardrobes and a large ensuite
shower room. There is a superb guest suite, two further bedrooms and well-appointed family bathroom.
