Description

Duchy Rag House is a substantial detached family home offering just over 3,300 sq ft of accommodation, the property combines the charm of a traditional farmhouse with the light, modern feel of sympathetic extensions. The property is set within approximately one acre of well tended gardens and grounds and situated for good access to Cirencester, Malmesbury and Swindon.

The original farmhouse has been extended to include a two-storey wing, creating beautifully proportioned living spaces that flow effortlessly throughout the ground floor. Upon entering the porch, a spacious entrance hall provides access to the rest of the house. The west side of the home features formal drawing and dining rooms, both opening onto sun terraces via French doors; perfect for alfresco entertaining. The drawing room also benefits from a log burner with a stone surround and a large bay window that floods the room with natural light. On the east side of the house, a second, more relaxed sitting room offers an open fireplace, ideal for everyday family life. A generous kitchen dining room opens to conservatory provides further views of the gardens and paddock, with direct access to the patio.

Two staircases provide access to the first floor. The original staircase leads to four bedrooms, including the guest bedroom with an en-suite, three further bedrooms, and a shared family bathroom. Most rooms offer built-in storage and wonderful views over the gardens and surrounding paddocks. A second staircase from the dining room leads to the principal bedroom suite and an additional guest bedroom with en-suite.

Outside, the property offers multiple patios and seating areas for alfresco dining, surrounded by lawned gardens, mature trees, and herbaceous borders. The garden is enclosed by well maintained hedging for privacy. There is ample opportunity for a keen gardener to expand planting areas or establish a vegetable patch.

Parking is plentiful, with space for multiple vehicles via a gated entrance onto a gravelled drive and leads to a double garage.

NB - the vendor has made us aware that additional land may be available by separate negotiation with the adjacent farm.

Leigh is a village in north Wiltshire, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southeast of the village of Ashton Keynes and 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west of the small town of Cricklade. Both offer primary schools as well with Cricklade a good selection of other amenities.
