Modern mid-century bungalow with striking interior and two acres of garden space.
Designed by David Allford in the mid-60s, this location is a remarkable rural retreat nestled in the Wiltshire countryside. It was intended to provide an escape from the bustling city life of London while still being close enough for a convenient commute.
This single-story 4-bedroom house features a unique design where each room opens up to the garden through large glazed doors. The entire house is surrounded by a clearstory, allowing abundant natural light to fill the interior spaces. Built on a grid of fifteen 8ft x 16ft bays, the house's roof is supported by pillars made of Staffordshire blue brick. Inside, all the walls are elegantly panelled with floor-to-ceiling Columbian pine.
Situated on a 2-acre garden, the house is located in a charming hamlet alongside the picturesque Kennett and Avon canal. The garden is divided into several sections, including a secret garden, a vegetable garden with raised beds, a wild rose garden, lawns and a pond.
Directly opposite the property is a 14 acre wild flower meadow, and woodland leading down to the river Avon which snakes its way through marshy wetlands.
Pewsey station has a main line service to Paddington which takes 1 hour.
