5 bed detached house for sale

Wilton, Marlborough SN8

Pond Cottage occupies a most attractive setting, overlooking the village pond, in the charming village of Wilton. Reached by its own private bridge, the property retains many period features and offers privacy and calm set in glorious gardens.

Pond Cottage (believed to date from the 17th Century) has been well loved by its current owners for almost 30 years, who have made a number of enhancements and extensions to this quirky, characterful property, whilst still retaining its period features.

A standout feature of the property is its unique setting overlooking the village pond and standing in expansive, well-tended gardens.

Totalling just over 2,000 square feet, the property offers immaculately presented accommodation laid out over two floors.

The ground floor boasts a large, bespoke hand-built kitchen which extends into a generous dining area, with the whole area flooded with light due to its triple aspect. The kitchen features a Lacanche Cluny range cooker and there is a good array of floor and wall cabinetry, complemented by the useful free-standing island unit, providing ample preparation areas and storage.

Adjacent to the kitchen/dining room are a utility room with matching hand-built cabinetry and an attractive shower room with double-sized shower. A staircase provides access to two of the first floor bedrooms.

The snug abounds with character, tastefully decorated with wooden panelling and exposed beams, providing a cosy yet spacious area. A further well presented bathroom and stairs to the first floor are accessed from the snug.

The sitting room features a wood-burning stove set into the fireplace and provides a welcoming and light-filled area. A stair case leads to the first floor principal bedroom.

The first floor boasts five bedrooms. Three generous double bedrooms, with bespoke storage, are further complimented by a useful further bedroom/office area and a spacious main bedroom.
