Bassett House Swindon, SN4

about

A beautiful example of a neo-classical Grade II listed country house.

Set in 71 acres on the edge of the Marlborough Downs. The house has an entrance front to the west comprising of three bays with a central bow, whilst the north and east fronts are four and five bays constructed in the Georgian style.

The entrance hall is a beautiful room in itself. The front door is a full height french style double door, with a pair of full length Georgian windows to either side. The style is understated and elegant which sets the scene for this wonderful family home.

The rooms on the ground floor are painted in light neutral tones, with beautiful original pine floors. The sitting room and the dining room both feature working open fireplaces. All rooms on the ground floor benefit from the wonderful full length Georgian windows, which are a really fantastic feature. The large windows flood the interiors with natural light, whilst inviting you to appreciate the attractive gardens that surround the property.

There is direct access from the formal dining room out to the paved terrace at the rear of the house.

An centrally located internal hall features a top lit spiralled staircase, built from Bath stone with a galleried first floor landing.

There are 8 bedrooms in total; 6 are located on the first floor of the main house, 4 have en-suite facilities, and there is a separate shower room also on the first floor. The remaining 2 bedrooms are located in the former service annexe.

Trains are less than an hour from Paddington, and the house is a 15 minute drive from Swindon station. To drive, it will take just over 2 hours from central London. Parking is available for up to 20 cars in the private driveway.
