‘Mansion House Farm’ is an incredibly handsome Georgian house, located in the beautiful rural village of Marston in Wiltshire. The original mid-18th Century façade has been sympathetically added to over the years to create a generous home with over 2500sqft of accommodation arranged over several levels in the main house, supplemented by a charming 2 bedroom self-contained detached annexe within the grounds.
The majority of rooms are dual aspect and take in fine views over the immaculate gardens. On the ground floor a welcoming entrance hall with downstairs cloakroom, has steps up into a splendid living room with a log burning stove. The 27ft flexible sitting/dining room has exposed wooden flooring and is open plan to a magnificent garden room with a large atrium skylight. There is a generous bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with natural stone flooring, quartz worktops, a walk-in pantry and a range of quality integrated appliances. A useful cellar/utility room provides extra storage. On the first floor, four immaculately presented characterful bedrooms are complemented by a refitted shower room and a luxurious en suite with attractive floor tiles, a roll top bath and walk-in double shower. A further double bedroom and en suite occupies the second floor.
Outside, double gates open onto an expansive driveway providing ample parking and leading to a detached double garage with attic storage. Attached to this is a charming 600sqft 2 double bedroom annexe that is ideal for either dependant relatives or as a Holiday Let that could provide an income stream. A wonderful barn with oak pillars provides the perfect spot for any outdoor eating/entertaining. The private south facing gardens have been lovingly transformed by the current owners and are a notable feature of this home. This garden is a true delight with generous lawns, well stocked colourful borders and well-kept topiary. There are fruit trees, a wild flower area, a lovely summer house overlooking a pond.
