4 bed detached house for sale

Ham, Marlborough, Wiltshire SN8

Church Farm is a delightful and valuably unlisted village house which was constructed about 40 years ago using reclaimed brick and traditional building materials. The house has all the benefits of a more modern property, with all the charm of an older style house. Church Farm is set up a no through track just before the historical and beautiful village Church. The house is approached via a covered veranda style porch providing an attractive and highly practical entrance, the hallway gives access to the key rooms downstairs including the traditional farmhouse style kitchen. The kitchen benefits from a oil fired aga, quarry tile floor and traditional wooden cabinets. There are French doors leading onto the delightful south facing garden terrace. There is a separate utility room off the kitchen with separate access to the driveway. There is a dining room, also with French doors on the garden. The drawing room is a nicely proportioned square room, focused around an open fireplace and direct access onto the garden. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, including an en suite bathroom to the main bedroom. There is a further family bathroom. Currently, the single 4th bedroom is fitted out as a dressing room. In addition to the accommodation in the main house, there is a large bedroom and bathroom over the garage complex.
The house is approached via a gravel driveway culminating in plenty of parking in front of the house and garage. The gardens are fully mature and are focused around the wide south facing terrace which runs the full width of the back of the house. There are herbaceous borders and topiary punctuating the gardens which are laid mostly to lawn. There is a small orchard to one side of the garage. The garage has two garages and a workshop, with the overflow accommodation above.
