Description
Badgers Rest is a very impressive contemporary barn conversion rurally located in the hamlet of Preston near the Marlborough Downs. Built in 2020, this stunning home is beautifully appointed having been finished to exceptionally high standards. The barn is set within c.9 acres and accompanied by versatile outbuildings making it ideal for the keen equestrian or smallholder.
The magnificent accommodation is filled with natural light throughout having been superbly designed to look across the sunny garden. The superb proportions extend to around 2,937 sq.ft. arranged over two floors. The ground floor space has been largely designed as open plan incorporating a kitchen, dining room, family room and living room area. Bi-folding doors connect to the garden terrace and amplify the feeling of openness. The luxurious kitchen boasts a Lacanche range cooker, integrated dishwasher and wine cooler, arranged around a large L-shaped island with Quartz worktops. A separate utility room houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. Adjoining the kitchen there is a fantastic air-conditioned wine store. There is an additional separate reception room providing a study/snug. The first floor offers four spacious bedrooms all with views over the garden. The principal bedroom suite includes a sitting area with a balcony terrace, en-suite shower room and a dressing room. Bedroom two also benefits from an en-suite shower room and dressing room. The family bathroom is fitted with a free-standing roll-top bath and a large shower unit. There is underfloor heating across the entire ground floor and upstairs bathrooms.
The main garden has a south-east facing aspect and enjoys a great degree of privacy and seclusion. The garden has been thoughtfully and beautifully landscaped with an ornate fish pond and waterfall feature beside a charming sun terrace and pergola. There is also a hot tub which can be included by further negotiation. A large lawn leads to a wildflower garden and the surrounding countryside is home to badgers and foxes.
The barn is accompanied by a number of excellent outbuildings including a large double garage with electric rollover door and an adjoining workshop. In addition, there is an open fronted traditional byre and a large former parlour barn. The parlour barn has been granted planning permission to create two holiday rental units and a laundry room (ref: PL/2022/0440).
The property has two vehicular access driveways and both are gated for excellent security. There is also an EV charging point.
