Calstone Wellington, Nr Calne, Wiltshire, SN11

Quietly situated at the end of a no-through road in the village of Calstone Wellington, the property sits in approximately eleven and a half acres of gardens, woods and paddocks and offers the occupier unrivalled seclusion and privacy. This elegant family home comes with a newly converted, self-contained cottage and additional outbuildings with potential for further conversion.

Grade II Listed, the property is believed to date back to the 17th century, and enjoys a unique position in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the edge of the Calstone and Cherhill Downs. Sympathetically refurbished by the current owners, the house is a substantial family home with generous room sizes and flexible accommodation with potential for further updating. Original features abound with beautiful beams, fine plasterwork and fireplaces. Outside the gardens surround the property and provide a variety of formal and less formal spaces to cater for all family needs. Beyond the gardens, the woodland runs down to the River Marden at the bottom and a paddock lies to the side – all accessed via the track. The Dairy Cottage sits to one side of the main house and has been converted to a very high standard and is now an elegant and modern, two-bed cottage. Behind this is a stable and garage block, currently used for storage and laundry but also with potential for further conversion.
