Set back from the road, 40 - 41 Fosbury is an attractive brick and flint
property dating back to the late 18th century and was originally two farm
workers cottages, constructed of brick and flint elevations under a tiled roof
relieved by double - glazed windows.
At just under 2000 square feet, the property offers spacious living
accommodation arranged over two floors and retains many fine period features
yet has excellent space for day - to - day living and entertaining.
On the ground floor, there is a large sitting room with a wood - burning stove
and a separate dining room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and
base units and is located at the rear of the property, overlooking the private
garden. Also on the ground floor is a large utility room, cloakroom and
separate shower room. There is scope for a two - storey extension (STPP) similar
to that of the adjoining property.
The first floor is accessed via two staircases. The house is currently set up
with five bedrooms, three of which are located at the front of the property
and benefit from stunning views over the surrounding countryside. There is a
further cloakroom and a good - sized family bathroom. There is a flying freehold
relating to the first - floor family bathroom with the neighbouring property.
Outside
The property is approached from the village road leading to a gravelled
parking area and a front garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by
mature hedging and wooden fencing to the front. There is access around the
side of the house to the rear garden, which is southwest facing and is mainly
laid to lawn with mature shrubs and hedging. Within the substantial garden is
a paved sun terrace, ideal for entertaining in the sunnier months.
Please note the summer house is no longer part of the sale.
40 - 41 Fosbury is situated in the small hamlet of Fosbury and close to the
popular villages of Shalbourne and Vernham Dean. Surrounded by one of the most
unspoilt parts of Wiltshire, Fosbury is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty.
Although rural, the historic market towns of Hungerford and Marlborough are
within easy reach and provide a wide range of shops, restaurants, and leisure
facilities. There are primary schools in Shalbourne (3. 5 miles) and Vernham
Dean (1. 5 miles). M4 and M3 connections are accessed via Hungerford and
Andover, as are mainline train services into Paddington and Waterloo
respectively.
