Detached house for sale in Bath Road, Fyfield, Marlborough, Wiltshire SN8

Description

The Lodge is a detached barn, originally a traditional farm building built circa 1877, it was converted in the late 1980’s and offers a wealth of charm throughout.

The Lodge is an exceptionally spacious and imaginative conversion providing accommodation of considerable character, particularly the main reception area with central fireplace, vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. There is a lovely farmhouse style kitchen with Aga and is large enough for a dining table.

The property offers flexible living spaces and at just under 2500 square feet, enjoys generous accommodation over two floors. In all there are four double bedrooms in the main house and three bathrooms. Given there is a separate kitchen and shower room located at the southern end of the property, this area can easily be sectioned off and would make an ideal annexe for an older child or relative or as an Airbnb.

There is also a studio flat above the garage which is currently used as a home office but could be utilised as a fifth bedroom, given it benefits from an adjoining bathroom.

Outside

Access via a five-bar wooden gate, there is an area of hardstanding providing parking for several vehicles. A paved area provides a lovely seating area, ideal for enjoying the daytime sun or al-fresco dining as it can be accessed directly from the main reception room. There is an area of lawn which is fully enclosed by walling and offers a quiet and private feel. A double garage provides storage of parking for further vehicles.
