Badgers Rest, Hallam, Southend, Marlborough, SN8 1SG

Badgers Rest, Ogbourne St George, Nr Marlborough, Wiltshire Dating in part from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Badgers Rest is a beautifully restored substantial Grade II listed farmhouse that combines period charm with modern living.

Extended in 2000 to more than double its original footprint, the property offers versatile and spacious accommodation, and has been sympathetically modernised to a high standard whilst retaining an abundance of striking original period features, including exposed beams, flagstone flooring, fireplaces, a thatched roof, and bespoke oak cabinetry.

Set along a quiet lane on the edge of the sought-after village of Ogbourne St George, the home enjoys stunning views across open meadows, the River Og and the Marlborough Downs.

The property benefits from a detached garage with a useful first-floor office/studio, excellent broadband connectivity, ample parking, and beautifully maintained gardens, and would be most ideal for families, professionals working from home, or those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat.

Inside and to the ground floor, the accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading into a bright and welcoming reception room, currently utilised as a dining room, with a grand traditional fireplace, stone flooring, exposed beam, wood panelling, and a staircase to the first floor with understairs storage.

There are two further reception rooms, including a spacious dual-aspect sitting room with a recessed fireplace and an exposed beam, and a versatile family room with access to the rear garden and a concealed staircase to the second first-floor bedroom.

The bespoke farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home, featuring a range of attractive units with granite worktops, solid wood flooring, exposed beams, and access to both a boot room which leads out to the garden, and a well-appointed utility room giving access to a WC.

The flexible first-floor layout provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, 4 double bedrooms and 1 single bedroom, including a principal suite with en-suite shower room, a family bathroom, and a guest bedroom with its own staircase and en-suite, offering excellent privacy for visitors or older children.

Outside, the property enjoys a generous plot, boasting ample driveway parking, mature gardens which are mostly laid to lawn with established beds, mature trees including fruit trees, multiple sitting areas, a number of outbuildings providing versatile uses, and uninterrupted countryside views onto the Marlborough Downs, creating a tranquil backdrop for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

Planning permission is also in place for an annex or garden room.

Badgers Rest enjoys an enviable rural location while remaining just three miles from the beautiful and historic market town of Marlborough, offering excellent amenities, renowned schools including Marlborough College and St John’s Academy, and convenient access to the M4 and rail services to London from Swindon, Great Bedwyn and Pewsey.
