While it may look old, this “secluded” house near Pewsey is less than 30 years old.

Lilbourne House was Built by Bewley Homes in 1999 as part of an exclusive development of just three houses.

While it was constructed in the traditional Georgian style, the inside feels like a different house with “the benefit of modern building standards”.

The six-bed and five-bath house is being sold for £2.375 million by Carter Jonas, and together with its gardens and grounds, it extends to almost 3 acres.

The agent says: “[It is located] in a particularly secluded and private position on the edge of a highly sought-after conservation village. 

“The house was designed with generous proportions and built to an exceptional specification.”(Image: Carter Jonas)

Inside is a drawing room with oak parquet flooring and an “expansive” south-facing bay window. 

Much like the house itself, a period-style fireplace contains a recently installed modern woodburning stove.

The agent makes a big deal of the dimmable lights in this house - a luxury not found in many genuine Georgian houses, one assumes.

A second reception room is currently used as a playroom and has French doors leading to a terrace.

This room and the dining room contain the second and third Chesney fireplaces. For those not in the know, Chesney’s describes itself as “the leading brand in the luxury heating sector”.

In the kitchen there is “ample space” on the granite and solid wood worktops, presumably for cooking.

Once you have eaten, “a broad, carpeted turning staircase leads to the first floor which offers five double bedrooms, four of which are ensuite”.

It continues: “The entire house has recently been decorated throughout using colours from the Farrow and Ball palette. 

“The kitchen and all bathroom/ensuite rooms have also all been refurbished, giving the house a fresh, contemporary feel.”

Outside, is mostly lawn, though there are some ornamental gardens with topiary trees cut into spirals. There is space for three cars in the garage.

About the town, the agent writes: “The conservation village of Milton Lilbourne nestles in the Wiltshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its beautiful scenery and extensive country walks (both in Pewsey Vale and on Martinsell Hill). 

“The bustling town centre of Marlborough and its historic high street, with Marlborough College, Waitrose supermarket, boutique shops and cafés, lie within a 15-minute drive.”
