Land for sale in Malmesbury SN16, 4 Bedroom

Description Orchard Rise is a detached bungalow with full planning permission to erect a substantial replacement dwelling. The property is set within a generous plot of 0.30 acres backing onto open fields situated on the rural edge of the highly sought-after village of Sherston yet within walking distance to the village High Street.

Planning permission was granted in 2018 to demolish the existing bungalow and replace it with a substantial four double bedroom Cotswold stone home with approximately 2,500 sq.Ft of accommodation. The proposed ground floor comprises a study, dual aspect living room with views across the garden and a fireplace, whilst an excellent kitchen/family room is at the heart of the home with doors opening to the garden plus a pantry and utility room off leading to the garage. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and en-suites to both the second and master bedrooms. Further details of the planning permission can be found under the reference 18/05167/ful on the Wiltshire Council Planning Portal.

The bungalow was built in the 1950s and the current state is in need of refurbishment and modernisation with the accommodation extending in all to 1,526 sq.Ft briefly comprising three bedrooms, two receptions, kitchen, bathroom and garage. The property is set back from the road with ample private parking to the front. The mature sunny garden is of excellent size and backs onto delightful open countryside.

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 church, primary school, doctor's surgery, post office & general stores, hairdresser, wine shops and two pubs including 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.
