Poughcombe Farmhouse is a beautiful period country house in a peaceful village setting on the edge of the Marlborough Downs. The house has been completely renovated by the current owners during their ownership and is beautifully presented throughout, having been very stylishly decorated creating fresh, contemporary interiors, whilst still maintaining the original character of the building. The house offers wonderful space with large, well-proportioned rooms, good ceiling heights and numerous large windows allowing in plenty of natural light, and makes an ideal family home. On the ground floor a generous sized reception hall leads through to the three main reception rooms. There is a large, comfortable sitting room/family room with views across the gardens, a smart drawing room with a large bay window and modern log burning stove, and a very spacious study/office. The stunning handbuilt kitchen/breakfast room is contemporary in design with sleek, modern units, a large central island, carrera marble work surfaces and an Aga range cooker. Beyond the kitchen is a fantastic dining room with full height windows and doors opening out to the terrace and gardens. There is also a large utility room/laundry, boot room and cellar. Upstairs there are five good sized bedrooms, a large family bathroom, and a shower room. Across the courtyard garden there is a fabulous annexe/cottage, comprising a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and a large office/living space and kitchen upstairs.

Agent's Note: Poughcombe Farmhouse is
attached to the next door property via the
single storey section of the house at the rear.

The gardens and grounds are a wonderful feature of the property and have been cleverly designed with a large gravelled courtyard garden close to the house, and more formal lawns beyond, with paved terrace areas and mixed flower borders, surrounded by beautiful mature trees, hedges and shrubs. There is a swimming pool and pool house to one side, and also a garage/store room, log shed and greenhouse. There is also a pony paddock across the lane.

Ogbourne St Andrew is a popular village close to Marlborough with a thriving community and good local facilities including a pub in the village itself, and is surrounded by fabulous rolling countryside providing wonderful walking, riding and cycling opportunities. There are a number of village shops and pubs in nearby Aldbourne, and Marlborough provides a wide range of facilities including a Waitrose supermarket, several cafes, restaurants and pubs, and a doctors' surgery and dentist. The area is highly accessible with direct train services from Swindon into London Paddington, and easy access to the M4 at J15 linking with London, Heathrow Airport, Bristol and the west country. There is a wide choice of schools in the area, including Ogbourne primary school and Little Dragons pre-school, as well as St Francis Pewsey, Pinewood, Marlborough College, Dauntsey's and St John's Marlborough.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on September 28, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on September 28, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
