Cottage for sale in The Green, Froxfield, Marlborough, Wiltshire SN8

Description

Set back from the road in the popular village of Froxfield, Thackets is a picturesque four bedroom detached house benefitting from huge charm and character throughout.

The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for this special house and opens into the sitting room which enjoys plenty of period features, including exposed beams and an open fireplace. Due to its southerly aspect, the property enjoys a light and airy feel throughout, a feature not often associated with thatched houses.

At 2147 square feet, there is no shortage of accommodation and this is particularly noticeable on the ground floor with both the dining room and study enjoying generous proportions. The kitchen is located to the rear of the house, along with the utility room, and these spaces could be extended into the garden, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

There are two sets of stairs providing access to the first floor. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and one large family bathroom. Given the two staircases, the family bathroom could be split in two to effectively create an ensuite to the bedroom at the east end of the house. The fourth bedroom is located on the half landing.

Outside

There is a paved patio area accessed off the kitchen offering one of a number of spots in which to sit and enjoy the garden. The private and substantial rear garden, which is enclosed by close board fencing, compliments the house well and is mainly laid to lawn with a selection of mature shrubs and trees.

There is a large outbuilding which offers a particularly useful and flexible additional space. Over the years, this space has had many uses including as a party barn but could double up as a gym or upgraded to a kids playroom, home office or studio space. There is off street parking to the side of the house.
