Situation
Collingbourne Ducis has a village shop, church, two pubs and a primary school and is approximately 8 miles south of the historic market town of Marlborough and 10 miles to the north west of Andover, which provides a comprehensive range of services and amenities together with access to the A303 and a rail station to London Waterloo. Pewsey (about 11 miles to the north west) and Hungerford (about 11 miles to the north east) provide rail stations to London Paddington and access to the M4 motorway at Junction 14 is about 14 miles to the north east. The surrounding downland countryside is ideal for walking and riding with numerous footpaths and bridleways around the village, through Collingbourne Woods and across Salisbury Plain
Outside
The Cottage is in a 'tucked away' position off Church Street. The mature gardens are predominately laid to lawn, all enjoying a good degree of seclusion with various trees, including an impressive Acacia tree and brick-built outbuildings. The vendor has also recently re-laid the patio area and re-gravelled the driveway, which provides off-street parking for several vehicles. There was full planning permission (expired) to build a separate detached family home (E/10/0082/ful) in the grounds, subject to a payment for access.
