This spacious detached village property has been a cherished home, remaining in the same family for many years. The living space extends to over 3,000 sq ft, arranged across three floors, and offers highly versatile accommodation. It now presents an exciting opportunity for sympathetic internal modernisation.

The ground floor features a welcoming reception hallway with cloakroom, an impressive dual-aspect drawing room, and a formal dining room that opens into a bespoke conservatory overlooking the gardens. From the hallway, a further door leads to the kitchen, which opens onto a breakfast room, accompanied by a useful utility room, an additional cloakroom, and access to both the rear garden and the integral double garage.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom and is complemented by three further bedrooms and two shower rooms. A spiral staircase from the spacious first-floor landing rises to the second floor, where you will find an additional bedroom, a home office, and a further reception space currently used as a sitting room.

Externally, the large gardens are a standout feature, extending to both the front and rear of the property. They are predominantly laid to lawn and beautifully screened by an abundance of mature specimen trees, providing an exceptional degree of privacy.

To the front, a generous driveway leads to the integral double garage and offers ample parking and turning space. At the rear, a full-width paved patio opens onto an extensive garden laid to lawn, featuring a large ornamental pond with stone columns and a selection of useful outbuildings.

Situation

Charlton is a quiet, small and highly desirable village with an excellent public house and restaurant, located approximately two miles from the historic market town of Malmesbury - reputed to be the oldest borough in England, with origins dating back to the 11th Century. This charming rural community offers a delightful mix of traditional village houses, ancient farmsteads and beautiful open countryside.

Malmesbury itself is famed for its magnificent Abbey and impressive 15th-century Market Cross. While steeped in history, the town also enjoys a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, with an array of independent shops, a Waitrose supermarket, cosy pubs, friendly cafés, regular farmers’ markets and a lively calendar of local events.

The village is well connected, with public transport links and excellent road access to the larger towns of Cirencester, Chippenham, Swindon, Bath and Bristol. The M4 (Junction 17) lies just five miles to the south. Nearby rail stations at Chippenham (10 miles) and Kemble (5 miles) offer fast services to London Paddington in approximately one hour.
