Ogbourne St. George, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

Description

Kingscot is a stunning three double bedroom detached country cottage set in the heart of Ogbourne St George, a picturesque village 4 miles to the north of Marlborough.

Dating back to 1840, this home has a genuinely lovely feel throughout and enjoys an abundance of charm and character. The front entrance of this double fronted home leads into a small hall, off which the main reception rooms are accessed.

The double reception room is dual aspect with views to the front from the sitting room end, and French doors from the playroom to the rear terrace. The sitting room, a spacious yet cosy space, is centred around the wood burning stove, and is opened up to the playroom area, where there is an abundance of built-in cupboards. This area could also make a great study or formal dining area.

The generous kitchen / breakfast room is a fabulous room and very much the heart of the home. It has a lovely, farmhouse feel to it with tiled floor, exposed beams, wood burning stove, large pantry cupboard and pretty window seats in the two windows at the front. The ground floor accommodation is completed by the large utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

It’s not very often that you find a character cottage with three good sized bedrooms but Kingscot has three double bedrooms. The main bedroom is a great size and enjoys a modern ensuite shower room. The two further bedrooms are served by the stylish family bathroom.

Outside

The garden wraps around on three sides and offers three individual garden and terrace areas. The main garden is to the side of the house and is stocked with pretty country-cottage flower borders and has a picket fence surrounding it. A driveway leads to two parking spaces to the rear of the property, where there is a handy shed for additional storage.
