Description

This semi-detached property features five bedrooms and is positioned on a generous plot in the desirable village of Axford. While the home is in need of modernization, it offers a unique opportunity for buyers seeking to invest in a project that allows for personal customization and renovation. Spanning three floors, the layout currently includes an entrance hall, a cloakroom, a sitting room, and an expansive kitchen/diner/breakfast area. An interesting feature is the outhouse connected to a traditional brick-built coal shed, which could be repurposed or integrated into future design plans. The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms along with a family bathroom, while the second floor adds two additional bedrooms, providing ample space for families or potential rental opportunities. The sizeable outdoor area is fully enclosed and primarily laid to lawn, presenting possibilities for further development (subject to planning permissions). A pathway leads to a detached carport with parking access from the side, enhancing convenience. Utilities include mains water, electricity, gas supply, and double glazing for improved energy efficiency. The property operates on a septic tank system. Axford itself is nestled within the Kennet Valley and enjoys proximity to both Marlborough and Ramsbury. Just four miles from Marlborough’s market town amenities—including shops like Waitrose and recreational facilities—the location caters well to everyday needs. Transport links are favorable with easy access to Swindon (approximately 12 miles away) and Newbury (about 17 miles); both towns offer direct trains to London Paddington within an hour. Surrounded by stunning countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—including nearby Savernake Forest—this property not only provides a comfortable living space but also represents potential for substantial value appreciation through renovations in this picturesque setting. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate local clubs at Marlborough and Ogbourne St. George as additional leisure options in this inviting community.
