The village of Burbage is located in north-east Wiltshire, just 6 miles south of the market town of Marlborough, separated from the town by an expanse of ancient woodland, namely Savernake Forest with the Kennett & Avon Canal just north of the village. The location has much to offer, particularly with its rural surroundings within not only the picturesque Vale of Pewsey but also the wider North Wessex Downs National Landscape. Burbage itself has numerous local amenities, including the White Hart, which is located just a few yards away from the property along the High Street. The village also has a primary school, a church, a gp surgery with a prescription service, a village hall, a recreation ground, a convenience store. The location serves commuters well with two nearby mainline railway stations. Pewsey (5 miles to the west) and Great Bedwyn (4 miles to the east) are both on the Paddington line into London, with road users served by the M4 to the north of Marlborough and the A303 to the south. The property can be found on the High Street, now a tranquil residential road thanks to the opening of the A346 bypass in 1991.

The property is Freehold. Mains drainage, water and electricity are connected. Central heating to radiators.
