Three homes make one in superb setting

Take three cottages and combine them into one and what do you have? A magnificent family home and, in the case of a property called Tumblehome, a superb location to boot.

For Tumblehome, originally three cottages built in the 1830s, is set in the village of Woodborough, one of three villages close together in some of the most fantastic Wiltshire countryside.

There are large expanses of open fields that form part of the floor of the much-prized Vale of Pewsey, with a backdrop of the Marlborough Downs with their white horse and many earthworks to the north and the escarpment of Salisbury Plain to the south.

Amidst all this idyllic scenery, those needing more practical day to day facilities will find mainline trains waiting to whisk them to Newbury, Reading, or London, in nearby Pewsey – Paddington is just over an hour away from this scene of rural bliss.

Tumblehome, which is on the market through the Marlborough office of Dreweatt Neate at a guide price of £635,000, has three main reception rooms. Oak flooring is an attractive feature in the dining room, which is open plan to the kitchen, where there’s a four ring gas hob, electric oven, island unit with fridge, and an integrated dishwasher.

Glazed double doors open from the kitchen into the sitting room, which has a decorative fireplace. French doors open from the sitting room onto the terrace and the study also has a door into the garden.

From the inner hall, adjacent to the kitchen, stairs rise to an annexe bedroom with en-suite shower room over the garage, for which there’s also permission for conversion into a reception room. In the main body of the house are three first floor bedrooms along with a family bathroom that’s also equipped with a power shower.

Adjacent to the house is a south-facing Indian sandstone terrace leading to an expansive south-facing lawn with mature specimen trees. To the side is a further lawned area and kitchen garden.
