Originally an old worker's cottage set on the Bowood Estate, this charming two-bedroom thatched Grade II listed home is nestled within well-developed gardens and comes with a double garage and an annexe. Positioned alongside similar standout properties, it sits within a conservation area and enjoys far-reaching views and abundant wildlife. ‘Sandy Lane is well known for its lovely position and attractive homes, so we always dreamed of living here,’ say the current owners. They add, ‘the property benefits from direct access to Bowood, a stunning Capability Brown landscape with miles of unspoilt rural walks.’ Tranquil setting aside, the proximity of the area to excellent amenities, including the M4 motorway, Bath, and Chippenham, makes this home as convenient as it is idyllic. Improved over the past few years, including the conversion of an old garage into a self-contained separate annexe currently used to accommodate guests and as an art studio, the property is in good overall order. ‘We have also spent time improving the garden, initially employing a garden designer to define the space and then slowly implementing the changes over the past couple of years.’ A stand-out of this character home, the garden now has several distinct areas including a sunken garden with cottage-style planting, a veg plot with a poly tunnel, a wildflower meadow and wildlife pond, and a woodland walk. ‘Each area of the garden is designed to be enjoyed at certain times of the day and year. For example, the sunken garden makes a great early morning sun trap while the flowers are designed to be head height for enjoying the smells and colours.’ ‘The whole back of the property looks out onto the Bowood Estate and further out to the Marlborough Downs, so the views are stunning.’ ‘The local wildlife is incredible, with regular sightings of birds of prey, deer and pheasants – we even feed a family of woodpeckers each day.’ ‘The thatcher we use has worked on our cottage his whole life and knew all of the owners going back fifty years, so he had been able to give us lots of historical detail around the property.’ ‘The “snug,” with its cosy log burner, is the perfect place to sit, read and warm you toes.’ ‘Being able to walk into Bowood is a huge plus, particularly for those with dogs. The local pub, a short walk away, serves good food.’ Additional Information: Postcode: SN15 2PZ Local Authority: Wiltshire.

Nestled into the hillside on the north side of the picturesque market town of Bradford-on-Avon this traditional weavers’ cottage enjoys an elevated position and far-reaching views across the town and beyond to glorious Wiltshire countryside. Sitting mid-terrace and arranged over four floors the characterful two-bedroom circa 1720s built period home comes with a split-level secluded garden which is separated from the front of the house by a small footpath. ‘We’ve lived here since 1997 and were very attracted to the sought-after position and the wonderful character of the house. The Tory is a very quiet part of town with a lovely safe and close-knit little community – a huge bonus is that there is no passing traffic or traffic noise. One can access the town centre, railway station, schools, and the surrounding countryside on foot; living here gives one the best of both worlds,’ explain the owners. Bradford-on-Avon is a thriving town which boasts some great independent shops, restaurants, bars and small businesses as well as the Wiltshire Music Centre with its programme of performances from local, national and international artists. Located a twenty-minute drive, or a fifteen-minute train ride, from Bath it sits on a mainline route to London’s Waterloo Station, a journey which, on average, takes two and a half hours. Direct trains from nearby Bath and Chippenham take just over an hour. ‘The house is bursting with character, and one never tires of waking up to seeing the glorious views of the town through the sash windows. The light and bright sitting room with its wood burner is one of our favourite spaces.’ ‘The house is nicely up-together, and, in February 2023 we installed a brand-new Worcester boiler and shower room.’ ‘We have great neighbours and socialise with those on both sides – it’s the kind of area where people are friendly, and everyone helps each other out.’ ‘The kitchen/dining room, which can easily accommodate six for a meal, is great for entertaining.’ ‘During the summer we love to spend time in the very secluded lower-level part of the garden which is set high above the town.’ ‘The best qualities of the house and garden are undoubtedly the views along with the fact it is a very cosy and comfortable home. It’s offered us many happy years and we’ll miss everything about living here.’ Additional Information: Postcode: BA15 1NN Local Authority: Wiltshire. Conservation area.

Fine & Country are delighted to present Slate Farm. Nestled on the edge of the picturesque village of Wanborough, Slate Farm is an exceptional 5 bedroom Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse with early 18th Century origins, which has remained in the same family for over 100 years. Accommodation Summary: The internal accommodation extends to almost 3,500 sqft across seven bedrooms, with beautifully preserved original features throughout. The level grounds expand to the rear and side of the property along with a large turning circle, double car port and a further garage. Wanborough is considered one of the most favoured villages on the southeast side of Swindon, situated on the edge of The Downs near The Ridgeway with a range of local amenities including the Grade I listed Church of St Andrew, village hall, doctors' surgery, several public houses and Wanborough Primary School. The market towns of Marlborough and Cirencester are both within easy reach, providing further facilities, including a range of supermarkets and several independent shops, restaurants and cafes.

Swindon mainline station with direct trains to London Paddington (from 49 minutes) is approximately 6 miles. The area is well-served by several private schools and is in the catchment area of a highly-regarded state secondary school. Seller Insight: What is your favourite room of the house and why? The garden room has been a wonderful addition to the house, effectively completing the building in 2014. It is a room for all seasons, a place that becomes an extension to the garden in the summer with the doors rolled back, but also somewhere to sit and relax in the winter, hunkered down enjoying the underfloor heating. It is a perfect room for parties and gatherings and a great place from which to enjoy much of the charm of the house and garden. Who do you think would be the next ideal owner? This house really could suit any family dynamic. Our children have enjoyed growing up in the house, but it would work for an extended family, or a couple who want to put their stamp on things. Whoever buys the house would ideally be able to see the potential within the property as well as having an appreciation of living in an historic farmhouse with all its character and quirks. What do you love most about the house and why? It is a very spacious property, yet has a wonderful, homely feel. We will miss the extensive garden, which, with its different areas, offers a great deal of privacy, peace and tranquillity. What do you love about the local community? There are plenty of good village pubs and there are opportunities to involve yourself as much or as little as you like in village life. The local primary school is excellent; all our children attended and thoroughly enjoyed their experience there. How easy is it to commute from here? The village is perfectly situated: Heathrow Terminal 5 is under an hour away, Paddington takes 1 hour by train from Swindon, or Hungerford, itself only 20 minutes away. The market towns of Marlborough and Cirencester are 20 minutes' drive and the close proximity of the M4 (5 minutes) allows good access to Bath, Bristol, and London. Oxford is also only 40 minutes from the house. What made you choose this property over others that were available at the time? The house has been in the family for well over 100 years. When we had the opportunity to move here, we thought it would only be for a few years, but we have stayed for nearly 27. Ground Floor: Upon entering the property, you are warmly welcomed into the entrance hall with access to both principal reception rooms. The sitting room features a wood burner and a window seat with lovely views out over the front garden. In 2014 the brewhouse was converted into what is now used as the master suite with a shower room, dressing area and mezzanine bedroom. The kitchen extends across the back of the property and enjoys views out over the rear gardens. Leading on from the kitchen, there is a useful utility room with a pantry and the guest cloakroom. The most recent addition to Slate Farm is the striking, glass garden room with vaulted ceiling, underfloor heating and large sliding doors leading out onto the gardens. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the separate snug, laundry room and shower room which form part of what was once the original dairy parlour. First Floor: The first floor is dedicated to the two, generous principal bedrooms at the front of the property with a corridor that then connects to the rear, where the family bathroom and two further bedrooms are located. The rear of the property has the potential to be used as an integral annexe with a large double bedroom with separate staircase, kitchenette, snug and ground floor shower room. Second Floor: The second floor features two further guest bedrooms. Outside: The grounds extend to circa 0.45 acres with wraparound lawns and cleverly positioned patio areas to take advantage of the afternoon sun.

To the side of the property, there is a large gravel driveway with a turning circle, double carport and a garage with a useful storage space over. Location: The village boasts a thriving community spirit with a popular Annual Summer Show with a craft tent, dog show and a hog roast alongside a regular local farmers market hosted at the village hall. Throughout the village there is a delightful mixture of all property types, from "chocolate box" thatched cottages, to individually designed modern family homes, with an approximate total population of just over 2000.

Positioned in the centre of Marshfield, a sought-after South Gloucestershire village with excellent amenities and links to Bath, Bristol, and the M4 motorway, is this modernised four-bedroom terraced home laid out over two floors. With easily accessible level gardens to the front and rear, it comes with off-road parking for two cars and all modern conveniences. ‘The property sits just behind the High Street and is a great size for its location. It’s also extremely convenient to access all the village amenities as well as those further afield,’ say the owners, who have made a few changes during their time living here. ‘The previous owners opened up the downstairs, turning the integral garage into a bathroom, utility, and larger kitchen diner. When we purchased the property, we brought upstairs up to date and fitted new banisters, doors, and new carpets.’ With all four bedrooms upstairs and two reception rooms and an open-plan kitchen/diner with streamline fitted units and an island downstairs, it is well laid out for residents to enjoy their privacy or be more social. The owners recall, ‘as soon as we saw the house, we knew the kitchen/diner with French doors leading into the garden would be the perfect space for entertaining, and it’s not disappointed.’ Both gardens are easy to maintain and enjoy at any time of the day with the rear providing more seclusion and gated access. A shed offers plenty of storage for bikes and garden equipment. ‘The back patio is the perfect place for sitting and enjoying the sunshine, having a barbecue, or just listening to the birds. It’s a wonderfully peaceful spot.’ ‘The house is deceptively bigger than it seems from the outside, and the office space has made working from home easy.’ ‘The village is a warm and friendly place, and this is very true of Back Lane too. Should you need help in any way, there are lovely neighbours willing to lend a hand.’ ‘Marshfield offers something for everyone: clubs for all ages, fun annual events, good shops, a post office, excellent pre and primary schools, parks, and more, fostering a strong community spirit.’ ‘The sunrises and sunsets in Marshfield can be stunning, and you don’t have to walk too far to find a footpath with far-reaching countryside views and footpaths.’ ‘It’s just fifteen minutes to Bath or Chippenham and reaching the M4 takes a matter of minutes.’ Additional Information Postcode: SN14 8NQ Local Authority: South Gloucestershire Council Tax Band: E Services: Mains water, mains electricity, mains gas, mains drainage Tenure: Freehold EPC: C Broadband: Please see - checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/broadband-coverage.

Good nearby pubs include the Northey Arms, Quarrymans, and the fantastic Longs Arms in South Wraxall.’ ‘We love that the location feels rural however its proximity to towns, cities, supermarkets and good travel networks, including fast trains to London and quick access to the M4, makes it highly convenient.’ Additional Information: Postcode: SN13 8AX Local Authority: Wiltshire Council Tax Band: F Services: Mains drainage, water and electricity.

From the patio to the tranquil middle Mediterranean terrace, and further on to the vegetable patch and flower beds, the garden presents a diverse array of spaces.

We have had so many wonderful parties in this room easily hosting 30-40 people, as well as many nights, just the two of us, sat by the fire enjoying the peaceful space. Although this room is our favourite, the little living room is also special, the sun streams in and its beautiful - it's also our Christmas room where we gather (again by the fire) to open our presents on Christmas morning. The snug is definitely a favourite for the girls (and their friends). It's hard to choose really as each room has something special for each of us - it's been that kind of house! Who do you think would be the next ideal owner? People who will love this house, feel its energy and allow themselves to just enjoy all it has to offer. We believe we have only been its caretakers for this last while, making our mark and leaving something of ourselves as a contribution to its history, as others before us have done and as whoever comes next is bound to do. They will likely love the stars and the night stillness - standing in the garden on a clear night is pretty special. The village is lovely, privacy is respected in tandem with a strong sense of community, so someone who would like to have such an opportunity will love living in this house. What do you love most about the house and why? The energy of the property and gardens, which we think comes from its mid-way location between Stonehenge and Avebury. The space in the house is very flexible - you really can organise it how you want to, and it's certainly morphed along with our needs at various stages. It is very peaceful and is both spacious and cosy - not an easy combination. What do you love about the local community? We have loved making so many good friends in the village, the annual Safari Supper is a highlight. As we've already mentioned, you can remain quite private whilst still getting as involved as little or as much as you'd like - whatever the choice is, you'd be welcomed. We have made some very dear friends here. We can also see the village rejuvenating with families (and couples) at various stages of their lives having moved in over the last couple of years. There are people from all over the world and the UK living in Wedhampton - it is definitely an interesting little place. The farm shop can be accessed by foot or 2 mins in the car. A great place to meet friends for a coffee and to pick up any bits and pieces when you don't feel like going to town. There are several great walks directly from the house. Having Salisbury Plain on our doorstep has been fantastic - great walking, running and cycling routes. How easy is it to commute from here? Very: 1hr15mins to Terminal 5, and 15 mins to Pewsey station where the fast train is only one hour into London Paddington, or half an hour to Reading from where you can access the Elizabeth line directly into the city and/or into East London. Very quick onto the A303 down to Cornwall or Devon and 45 minute drive into Bath, or there is a bus service which leaves from Devizes every hour into Bath - it takes one hour. What made you choose this property over others that were available at the time? It is tucked away in a prime location in the village, very private, quiet and secluded with a versatile and user friendly floor plan. It was also near good schools which was key at the time. We just 'knew' it was right and it was! Accommodation Summary: Nestled in the picturesque village of Wedhampton in the heart of Wiltshire, Lydgate Farm is an exceptional Georgian, detached house, with 18th Century origins. Internal accommodation extends to over 3,500 sq ft and the wonderfully preserved and restored original interior features are complemented by sympathetic improvements, including a stunning bespoke fitted kitchen. The house has recently undergone a painstaking programme of restoration and is presented as an immaculate 'turnkey' home, with an exceedingly high standard of finish throughout. Professionally designed gardens, which extend to 2/3 acre, envelop the house and offer a fabulous outdoor space for all to enjoy all year round. Ground Floor: The ground floor accommodation is versatile throughout allowing the individual rooms to be used for a multitude of functions. The hand-crafted, bespoke kitchen features an extensive range of fitted cupboards with oiled, Ash work surfaces over. The central island has a contrasting granite top from the well-regarded Humphries Stonemasons of Hungerford, with an elegant section of American Walnut which works perfectly against the granite. From the kitchen, you step down into the open dining/family room with a focal Invicta log burner and porcelain sandstone flooring underfoot. The beautifully restored, exposed beams and stone walls are visible throughout the room and the high ceilings give a wonderful sense of space. Leading from the kitchen, the useful utility/boot room houses all white goods, a large, walk-in pantry and a separate WC. Both principal reception rooms have also been the subject of huge transformations unveiling a striking inglenook fireplace in the formal living room and floor-to-ceiling sash window in both the living room and snug. The cosy snug is located at the front of the property and could also double as a further ground floor bedroom if required. Completing the accommodation on the west wing are two useful study spaces and the garden room where you can enjoy beautiful views over the gardens and the front elevation of the house. The rear reception hall can be accessed internally, but also externally via a separate entrance inviting the possibility to convert the remaining ground floor accommodation into a self-contained annexe inclusive of the bedroom, shower room and a dressing room. First Floor: There are two separate staircases to access the first floor. The main staircase leads to the two generous guest bedrooms and the four-piece family bathroom. The impressive master suite, with a shower room and separate dressing room, can also be accessed via the main staircase, or independently via the secondary staircase. Outside: The grounds at Lydgate Farm have been professionally designed and have been beautifully maintained to offer a peaceful, mature green environment which extends to a total of circa 2/3 of an acre. An aerial view reveals the grand design: a geometric delight comprising mature beech hedging, immaculate lawns and cleverly planted beds producing distinct garden areas for one to enjoy all year round. An array of shrubs and emerging perennials hint at the vibrant colours soon to be seen during the spring and summer months. Beyond the formal gardens, mature fruit trees and two large Holm Oak trees provide further seclusion and privacy. There are two further areas to the gardens at the front and side of the property which provide fabulous alternative options for private outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining. The property is accessed via double gates leading to a large, private driveway for at least 6 vehicles. Also accessed via the driveway is the secured motorbike store. Location: Wedhampton is a very pretty, quiet hamlet comprising only around fifty homes, just four miles from the centre of Devizes. For everyday needs, Urchfont is only half a mile away and has a village shop/post office, a popular public house and runs a community bus into Devizes, Bath and Salisbury. The popular Planks Yard is just on the other side of the main road and is home to a good farm shop, cafe, pilates studio and other shops. Nearby Devizes is a thriving market town with a range of shops, cafes, supermarkets, a library, sports centre and a museum. There is a vibrant weekly produce market and an annual timetable of festivals and events celebrating arts, culture, food and music. The property is well positioned for excellent schooling including Marlborough College, Dauntsey's in West Lavington, St Mary's Calne, Stonar and Pinewood. Sitting at the end of the Vale of Pewsey, the area is known for its beautiful wide open countryside giving wonderful opportunities for walking, riding and cycling. The area is blessed with numerous places of interest including Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Sites and other stone and earth works (Old Sarum and Silbury Hill), Salisbury Cathedral and the Magna Carta, The Kennet and Avon Canal with Caen Hill Locks in Devizes and Longleat, one of many stately homes nearby.

Main House On entering, one is greeted by a vast entrance hall with galleried landings above reaching up 2 floors, a nod back to much earlier great house designs and an impressive statement for arriving guests. The exceptional scale and grandeur of the property is apparent not only in the room proportions but also in the detail with which they have been finished. A wide panelled hall gives access to the ground floor rooms including huge dining room and sitting rooms, panelled office, cinema room, kitchen and breakfast room. The Clive Christian fitted kitchen is beautifully appointed, offering space to dine casually. For more formal dining, the dining room is annexed by the large utility room, which can serve as a second kitchen space.

Thought to have been the site of the home of the Saxon King Ine (Ina) as far back as 688-728 AD, Everleigh boasts some impressive royal connections over later centuries too, being owned by the crown during the reigns of Henry VI, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.   Mary Queen of Scots is said to have visited in secret whilst under house arrest at Tutbury Castle, under the care of Sir Ralph Sadleir. Sir Ralph, a prominent Tudor courtier and chief falconer was granted the house by Elizabeth I. He was proclaimed to be the 'wealthiest commoner in England' when he died in 1587. Sir John Astley acquired Everleigh Manor in 1764 and the Astley family resided there until the mid-19th century. The Palladian buildings in place today are Georgian, dated to around 1770, with some of the earlier structures thought to have been incorporated. A fire in 1881 destroyed much of the interiors and there was substantial rebuilding work carried out in 1882. Requisitioned by the army in 1939, Everleigh was initially in use as a hospital and latterly as a centre for producing vaccines for troops. It passed back into private ownership in the 1990s, and was acquired by the current owners in 1999, who undertook a total renovation. Location The village of Everleigh lies in some of the UK's most delightful countryside. The wide, open spaces of Salisbury Plain are close at hand, and offer numerous sporting opportunities. The nearby village of Pewsey offers a wide range of shops and amenities including a supermarket, garage and of course Pewsey railway station, with direct services to London Paddington taking around 1hr. The city of Salisbury and the towns of Marlborough and Devizes are all within reasonable driving distance, as is the A303 for road access to the capital and the Westcountry. The area has excellent schooling at both primary and secondary levels, with a range of options including St. Francis Primary, Dauntsey's School and Marlborough College in the independent sector in addition to a range of state sector facilities at all levels.

Seller Insight: What is your favourite room? Our favourite rooms are the library – such a great place to relax by yourself and pick a book to look at with the fire on or socialise with friends, or the sewing room upstairs; it is flooded with natural light, warm and cosy yet close to the hub of the house so I can keep an eye on what's going on but private enough to allow me to be productive and calm. Who do you think would be the next ideal owner? Ideally, the new owners would be a family with children who could go to the excellent village school next door, or teenagers could go to St John's, with a parent who maybe works from home or runs their own home business as there are several study/ work rooms to choose from. What do you love most about the house and why? I love the fact that it is such an unusual unique layout and a real inverted Tardis (surprisingly large), full of interesting, connected rooms so we've all been able to have our own space.
