Swan House

Swan House is a stunning period property situated in the heart of Old Wroughton. Converted from a public house in 2008, it combines high ceilings and charming period features with modern conveniences and thoughtful restoration. The current owners have continued to restore and sympathetically improve Swan House during their tenure. Recent works include a kitchen extension with a vaulted ceiling and skylight, a new kitchen with integrated appliances, bespoke hardwood double-glazed windows, solid oak flooring, wood burner installation and a beautifully landscaped rear garden featuring a water feature and a covered seating area. The accommodation spans approximately 3,000 sq ft and offers generous principal rooms, each showcasing distinctive features such as working fireplaces, ceiling roses, and exposed stonework in the building's older sections. Steeped in history, Swan House served as a public house from 1832 to 1991, playing a central role in village life. Notably, it owned five of the surrounding cottages and was even frequented by royalty in the late 1800s. The impressive entrance hall sets the tone for the property, with large windows and a sense of spaciousness. The former skittle alley and function room have been converted into a cinema room, which opens onto the rear garden. There is also a large utility/boot room with access to the rear courtyard and vehicular access beyond the walled garden to the rear of the property. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. Wroughton offers an extensive range of amenities, including excellent primary and secondary schools, a doctor’s surgery, a library, public houses, and various shopping facilities, including a Waitrose on the village's outskirts. The commercial centre of Swindon is approximately 2.2 miles to the north, offering a mainline station with services to London Paddington (55 minutes), South Wales, and the West Country. The village is ideally positioned between Junctions 15 and 16 of the M4 motorway, providing convenient access to London and the West Country. Nestled beneath the Marlborough Downs and the Ridgeway National Trail, Wroughton is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Nearby, the historic Clouts Wood offers numerous footpaths and bridleways, making the area perfect for walking, riding, and other country pursuits. EPC Rating: D Council Tax Band: E REF: RS-SWAN
