Description
Seven Wells House is an impressive country house, constructed of cavity red brick elevations under a tiled roof offering spacious and flexible accommodation over two floors.
The property is tastefully presented throughout, with light rooms enjoying a southerly aspect and views over its own land and to the Pewsey Vale beyond.
The ground floor accommodation enjoys a lovely flow to it and of particular note is the large kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga, a good range of wall and fitted units and useful pantry cupboard. It really is the hub of the house and offers the ideal place for entertaining or family meals. The generous reception room has a real warmth to it and is centred around the fireplace with wood burning stove. The conservatory provides the perfect place for a kids playroom and has double doors leading to the terrace. There is a downstairs cloakroom located off the main hall.
The eastern end of the house has been remodelled by the current owners and boasts a bootroom, utility room with kitchenette and a separate study. The double bedroom downstairs boasts plenty of built-in cupboards and an ensuite bathroom with separate shower. Should there be the need for a self-contained annex, the eastern end of the house (on its own council tax) provides this.
On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, all of which are accessed off the wide, bright landing. The largest of these bedrooms has an ensuite shower room and the three further double bedrooms are served by the well-appointed family bathroom.
The current owners have drawn up plans, and had planning permission (PL/2022/07494) approved for a spectacular and sizeable 2.5-storey extension to the eastern elevation and further ground floor extension.
Outside
Approached via a five bar gate, the driveway sweeps around to take you up the stables and could be continued to the rear of the house, where there is further courtyard parking for numerous vehicles. There is a separate access point to this parking area.
The extensive gardens are a particular feature comprising mainly lawns, with herbaceous borders, an orchard and greenhouse and from here you can enjoys great views over the Pewsey Vale.
There are eight timber stables with hard standing, power and water, and lapsed planning (E/10/1250/FUL) for an American barn, horse walker, 60 x 20 arena and storage barn. The land extends to approximately 8.28 acres of free draining land, fully enclosed with post and rail fencing and with two field shelters.
Agents note: This property is subject to the terms of an Overage Agreement granted for a period of 50 years from 13th June 2003 under which overage is payable should planning permission be implemented for the construction of any separate dwelling on the land, other than the existing dwelling, or if the property is sold with the benefit of such planning permission.
The overage does not apply to any planning permission authorising the replacement of the existing dwelling or any alterations and extensions to the existing building such as (but not limited to) sheds, garages, greenhouses, tennis courts, swimming pools, hard-standings, fuel tanks, accommodation and schooling areas for horses and other animals and manages.
Situation
Seven Wells House is set in the charming hamlet of Manningford Abbots, in the heart of the Pewsey Vale. The Vale is characterised by rolling countryside and unspoilt downland, which is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It lies conveniently close to Pewsey and the market town of Marlborough, which between them provide a wide range of shops, services and leisure facilities. The larger regional centres of Bath, Salisbury and Newbury provide a more comprehensive range of amenities. Mainline stations at Pewsey and Hungerford provide a good service to London Paddington. There is an abundance of good local schools, with Woodborough Primary School, St. Francis and for senior schooling there is Pewsey Vale, St John's, Marlborough College, St Mary's Calne and Dauntsey's School close by.
