Newlands Farmhouse is an immensely charming and spacious home offering excellent accommodation arranged over two floors. On the ground floor there are two elegant formal reception rooms to the front of the house along with a large conservatory which overlooks the courtyard. In addition to these principal rooms there is a library/snug as well as a family room which leads out onto the courtyard. The everyday dining area and the well-appointed, open-plan kitchen both conveniently lead off from the family room making this space very much the heart of the house. Immediately above the dining area, and accessed via a spiral staircase, is an open-plan galleried study. A utility room as well as a shower room complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, there are four light and airy bedrooms served by a well-appointed family bathroom which, in addition, has a separate shower.

Outside

Newlands Farmhouse is approached via an attractive and mature front garden with a central stone path leading to the front door. Gates to the side of the house lead to the gravelled driveway, providing ample off-road parking for several cars. Alongside the rear of the house is a gravelled courtyard, ideal for al fresco entertaining. The large stone barn that lies between the courtyard and the garden provides valuable storage, with its own power and light, and on the far side of the barn is a secluded, tiered lawned garden with well stocked borders and low-level Cotswold stone walls.

Situation

Corston lies approximately 3 miles south of Malmesbury, within easy reach of Junction 17 of the M4 (3 miles). The nearby ancient market town of Malmesbury offers an excellent range of shops and services, from Waitrose and Aldi supermarkets to independent suppliers and is also renowned for its historic Abbey. Malmesbury also has a public swimming pool and library. Other local towns include Tetbury, Cirencester and Chippenham. The main regional centres are Bath, Bristol, Swindon, Cheltenham and Gloucester, all of which are within daily commuting distance. Communications are good, especially with the M4 being so close. Chippenham Station (8 miles) also has direct rail services to London Paddington from 66 minutes. The area is well served by an excellent choice of both state and private schools – Malmesbury School is particularly well-regarded. In the private sector there is Westonbirt, Beaudesert Park, St. Mary’s Calne and Marlborough College. Bath also has a variety of schools including Kingswood. There are plenty of sports in the area including golf courses and many equestrian events.
