Full Details for 6 Bedroom Property for sale in Swindon, SN4 :

A beautiful Grade II listed cottage situated in the popular downland village of Broad Town. Built in around 1550, the cottage has considerable character and charm. There are OPEN FIREPLACES, beamed ceilings and original features throughout. The versatile accommodation includes Fairview Cottage, a self contained cottage that is suitable for use as an ANNEXE, a holiday let or HOME OFFICE. The walled COTTAGE GARDEN is a particular feature and boasts an established and productive vegetable plot.

Broad Town

A quiet downland village snuggled just under an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ANOB). The Wiltshire White Horse Trail popular with walkers runs through the village. There is excellent schooling locally for all ages both in the private and state sector. The village has an excellent local primary school with pre-school only a 2 minute walk away and falls within the catchment area for the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy and Sixth Form. There is a post office and two public houses, just a short drive up the hill in Broad Hinton. The market town of Marlborough is within easy reach and has a good mixture of amenities including shops and restaurants. The M4 is easily accessible and there is a mainline station in Swindon (Paddington around 60 mins).
