The Common — The Common

Occupying an enviable setting overlooking The Common on the edge of Broughton Gifford, this pretty five bedroom period home presents a rare chance to acquire a property in one of the village’s most coveted settings. Beautifully maintained by the current owners, the home offers wonderfully versatile accommodation to include a ground floor bedroom suite, generous reception spaces and the added advantage of a detached garage with an impressive self contained studio annexe above. Approached via an entrance porch, the property opens into a substantial central reception/dining room measuring 21’3” x 12’9”. This elegant space forms the hub of the home, with a wood burning stove creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. From here, a study provides an ideal retreat for home working or quiet reading. Positioned to the front of the house and enjoying far reaching, south facing views across The Common, the kitchen/breakfast room forms part of a later extension and offers exceptional scope. Extending to 18’9” x 25’, it currently provides extensive fitted cabinetry, space for freestanding appliances and a large breakfast table, but could readily be reimagined as a superb open plan kitchen, dining and family room. To the rear, the sitting room enjoys a westerly aspect, capturing the afternoon and evening sun. Dual aspect windows and French doors flood the room with natural light and provide seamless access to the garden. A feature fireplace with open fire adds charm and character. Beyond, a generous ground floor bedroom with modern ensuite and French doors to the garden offers excellent flexibility ideal for guests, multi-generational living or an additional reception space if preferred. The first floor comprises three further bedrooms and a family shower room. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect views over The Common and the west facing garden, along with built in wardrobes and a contemporary ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is a comfortable double, while the third overlooking The Common lends itself perfectly to use as a study or nursery. Gardens The west facing garden is a delightful feature of the property: largely private, thoughtfully planted and designed to capture the afternoon sun. With multiple seating areas, established borders and a level lawn, it is an ideal setting for outdoor dining, children’s play or simply enjoying the tranquillity of this idyllic village location. Annexe A significant asset is the detached garage with power and lighting, topped by a spacious self contained studio annexe. Comprising a generous living/bedroom area, kitchenette and bathroom, this versatile space is perfectly suited to a home office, creative studio, gym, guest accommodation or potential long or short term letting (subject to any necessary consents).
