About this property
Offered with up to 43 acres of well-maintained grazing, this beautifully designed contemporary 3/4 bedroom family home includes a modern steel-framed barn with potential for conversion (STP). Currently run as a smallholding, the property also benefits from agricultural SDLT relief.
Crafted in 2017 by the renowned oak framers, Oakwrights, Boundary House is a detached family home and beautifully designed contemporary residence, set within just over 5 acres in the village of Winterbourne Bassett and surrounded by the stunning countryside of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The ground floor features a light-filled, open-plan kitchen-dining room overlooking the paddocks from both aspects, a spacious sitting room with an open fireplace, a large utility room with a back door to the garden, and a downstairs WC. Upstairs, the oak frame takes centre stage with a large vaulted landing, currently configured as three bedrooms and an office space (originally designed for four bedrooms). Each bedroom has an en suite, and the property enjoys spectacular views to the Ridgeway in the east and open farmland towards Cherhill Monument in the west. The village is within easy walking distance of its community-owned pub, adding to its charm and convenience.
Oxleaze Barn sits within a further 37.5 acres of land and is a full-height steel-framed agricultural building, partitioned for livestock and workshop use, with a large hardstanding yard and glorious views towards the Ridgeway. The barn overlooks the land and includes two scheduled ancient monuments, including a stone circle. It is connected to water and electricity, with troughs in place.
The property offers exciting development potential, and the sale may be subject to an uplift for potential land development.
Nestled in the shelter of the Ridgeway, the village is a charming hamlet of around 200 residents. At its heart is a thriving, community-owned pub. The 12th-century church hosts regular services and adds a sense of history and character to the village. A picturesque 15-minute walk “across the Whettle” (the local name for the wheat field) leads to Broad Hinton, home to a well-regarded primary school, a popular country pub, a church and an excellent family-run Italian restaurant. In the other direction, a short drive brings you to Winterbourne Monkton and on to Avebury, offering a wealth of pubs, heritage attractions and the world-famous Avebury Stone Circle. Nearby highlights include Avebury Manor (National Trust), Silbury Hill, Kennet Long Barrow, and the historic market town of Marlborough. Local schools include Marlborough College (10 miles), St Mary’s Calne (11 miles), Dauntsey’s School (15 miles) and Westonbirt School (17 miles), with a wide selection of excellent Ofsted-rated primary and secondary schools also located nearby.
