Description
Pyke Farm is a Cotswold stone detached period farmhouse set just a short distance from Sherston High Street and yet enjoys a discreet hidden position screened by mature hedging. The farmhouse showcases an array of character features and has evolved over the years into an excellent family sized home boasting generously proportioned accommodation over three floors extending to 2,969 sq.ft. The accommodation has been sympathetically and tastefully presented throughout.
Internally, an oak framed entrance hall is entered from the rear off the parking area with a downstairs WC off and a fitted boot room with further side access, perfect for bringing in muddy wellies. There are three principal reception rooms. A study is open plan to the living room creating a dual-aspect whilst the living room features a wood-burning stove. Across the hallway, a further sitting room also has a wood-burning stove and displays much character with an exposed timber open hall. The traditional farmhouse style kitchen has flagstone flooring, an oil-fired Aga and a range of timber units. Double doors connect to the garden. Completing the ground floor, there is an additional WC and office. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms which includes the principal bedroom. The principal bedroom has a dedicated wing comprising a dressing room, en-suite bathroom and the beautiful bedroom with vaulted ceiling over. The second floor provides two further attic bedrooms and a landing/playroom making the top floor an ideal space for children. The family bathroom is located on the first floor and is fitted with a large walk-in shower and bath.
Outside, there is an extensive outbuilding (907 sq.ft.) comprising three former stables, tack room and workshop. The outbuilding has power, lighting and water connected and lends itself for fantastic scope to convert to garaging or ancillary accommodation, subject to planning (previous annexe planning granted, now lapsed).
Vehicular access to the property is from the rear leading to a spacious private parking area over a gravelled forecourt lined with trees. The gardens are predominantly arranged to the front and side of the property benefiting from an east, south and west facing aspect. The front garden is a combination of a colourful cut-flower patch and vegetable garden. To the side, is the formal garden area which flows off from the kitchen. This area has been laid mostly to lawn with an excellent degree of privacy and various secluded seating areas to enjoy complemented by vibrant roses.
Situation
The beautiful, ancient and much sought after village of Sherston with its broad High Street and historic stone houses is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty conveniently located on the edge of the Cotswolds. Sherston has a thriving community and offers many facilities, including a church, popular primary school, doctors surgery, Co-op shop and post office, coffee shops, hairdresser, Indian restaurant, garden centre and the highly regarded 16th century Rattlebone Inn, with its excellent food and friendly atmosphere. The facilities and amenities in Sherston more than adequately provide for everyday need with a whole host of societies and clubs meeting on a regular basis offering entertainment and social events for young and old alike.
Schooling locally is second to none, with very good state and independent schools providing transport to and from the village on a daily basis. Close by are the market towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury which are both approximately 5 miles away. Malmesbury is reputed to be the oldest Borough in the country dating back to the 11th Century. Both towns offer a wider range of shops, services, schooling and leisure facilities. There are main line stations to London-Paddington at Kemble (14 miles) and Chippenham (12 miles) whilst Junctions 17 & 18 of the M4 are both within 15 minutes' drive providing convenient access to Bath, Bristol and Swindon.
