Olivemead Lane, Dauntsey SN15

Stable Cottage is an impressive village home occupying a secluded semi-rural setting within approximately 0.5 acres of mature, established gardens. Lovingly restored, refurbished and sympathetically extended by the current owner from the original farm buildings, the property combines its retained character features with a high-quality contemporary finish. The principal living space is arranged on the ground floor comprising a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom, leading to a superb open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with a separate boot room. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of built-in units, complemented by granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances. A door from the kitchen leads to a rear hallway serving three double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, together with a family bathroom and a well-appointed en suite shower room. The impressive triple-aspect sitting room features a central fireplace with a wood-burning stove. A separate study provides an ideal space for home working, with a staircase leading to the first-floor bedroom, which is served by an adjoining cloakroom.
Externally a beautifully landscaped rear garden enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. An Indian sandstone patio extends across the full width of the property opening onto a predominantly lawned garden. The gardens are well stocked with a variety of mature specimen trees, shrubs and planting, creating a high degree of privacy, while established hedging defines the boundaries. To the front, a gravel driveway leads to an impressive detached oak-framed double garage. The attractive frontage is enhanced by an area of lawn, a selection of mature trees and an ornamental water feature, creating an inviting approach to the property. In addition to the main residence, the property includes an attached self-contained one-bedroom cottage with its own private entrance, garden and garage.

Situation

The small village of Dauntsey is located just north of the M4 motorway, some five miles from Malmesbury.

Both the towns of Malmesbury and Chippenham provide comprehensive facilities and services, whilst the nearby village of Great Somerford has a late opening store incorporating a Post Office.
