Wonderful charm in abundance is on offer, complete with coach house annexe, pool and tennis court. Summary: Set within the timeless landscape of the Marlborough Downs, this elegant former rectory has an immediate presence — its soft pink façade glowing gently against the surrounding countryside. For over thirty years it has been a cherished private home, and now, for the first time in a generation, it offers an opportunity to become part of its continuing story. Graceful Georgian proportions, beautifully balanced interiors and an undeniable sense of calm define the house. It is a home that feels both refined and welcoming — equally suited to large gatherings or the simple rhythm of everyday life. Seller Insight: What is your favourite room of the house and why? My favourite room is hard to choose! I probably have to plump for the drawing room, a beautiful light space perfect for big family gatherings, smart dinners or just a sunny place to sit and read. The Carrara marble fireplace and high ceiling lend a special elegance to every occasion. Who do you think would be the next ideal owner? The ideal owners would be a family who would appreciate the warm and friendly atmosphere and space for welcoming friends to enjoy all the fun that the house has to offer. Or anyone who loves entertaining! What do you love most about the house and why? Every room works perfectly, whatever you want to use it for. Gardens that feel spacious but manageable. I love the pool in summer and endless games of tennis. What do you love about the local community? A lovely friendly atmosphere, with community groups, the choir, the active local church, walking distance of two pubs and easy reach of Marlborough and its many amenities. How easy is it to commute from here? Excellent train links from Bedwyn, Pewsey and Swindon; fifteen minutes and half an hour to Swindon. My husband commuted for twenty years to central London What made you choose the property over others? We fell in love with the property, a grand old house with lovely big rooms, high ceilings, an attractive garden and wonderful views. It was also incredibly convenient for excellent secondary schools in the area. Internal Accommodation: The house unfolds with an ease that is rarely found, where each space connects naturally to the next. Light moves effortlessly throughout, enhancing the sense of openness while retaining a comforting intimacy. The principal rooms are quietly impressive rather than overtly grand — elegant spaces that invite conversation, relaxation and time spent together. Garden views are ever-present, drawing the outside in and reinforcing the connection to the surrounding landscape. At its heart, the kitchen is warm and characterful — a space that feels lived-in and loved, where mornings begin slowly and evenings gather pace around the table. Upstairs, the atmosphere remains calm and restorative. Bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged, offering both privacy and flexibility, while the upper level provides an additional space that lends itself to creativity, retreat or quiet reflection. Outside The gardens are a true extension of the house — mature, private and deeply peaceful. Sweeping lawns and established trees create a sense of seclusion, while the walled garden offers a more intimate setting, sheltered and serene. As the seasons change, so too does the experience of the grounds; from long summer afternoons by the pool to crisp mornings with far-reaching views across open farmland. Tucked discreetly within the grounds, the Coach House provides beautifully independent accommodation — ideal for guests, extended family or a more contemporary way of working from home. Leisure and lifestyle sit naturally here, with space to entertain, unwind and enjoy — whether that's a game of tennis, time spent poolside, or simply the quiet luxury of being surrounded by nature. Location Positioned within the Avebury World Heritage landscape, the setting is both remarkable and deeply grounding — a place where history, nature and open space combine in a way that feels increasingly rare. Marlborough, just a short drive away, offers a vibrant contrast — a historic market town with a strong sense of community, excellent schooling and an enviable mix of independent shops, restaurants and cultural life. For those drawn to the outdoors, the surrounding countryside is exceptional, with endless opportunities for walking, riding and exploring. At the same time, excellent transport links ensure London and the wider South West remain within easy reach, making this as practical as it is beautiful.

A beautiful 1920s Arts and Crafts family home in a fabulous location, a gentle stroll from the centre of Pangbourne. Surrounded by private gardens and grounds of 1.25 acres, with 5 bedrooms, a hard tennis court and a heated indoor swimming pool complex. And it’s unlisted! Scythe House is an exceptional family home, built in the 1920s in the late Arts and Crafts manner, that brims with original character and charm. Today it’s surrounded by beautifully planted gardens of 1.25 acres, with a hard tennis court and a heated indoor swimming pool, all of which are screened by high, mature hedges and trees. The house enjoys a southerly aspect with views across to the Sulham Hills. A near-perfect and original example of late Arts and Crafts design, Scythe House was designed by the respected architect Thomas Rayson. Constructed in 1926 it’s a beautiful example of a simpler, more organic aesthetic combined with modern building innovations, such as cavity walls – which are what make it so well insulated today. The house stays wonderfully cool in summer and warm in winter. From Green Lane, elegant iron gates lead you down a long curving drive, approximately 100 meters long – the house isn’t visible from the road. It’s worth noting this is one of the few remaining large plots in this highly sought-after area. On arrival at the house, the driveway opens to provide ample parking for numerous cars, in addition to the parking provided by the two double garages. The barley-twist brick pillars of the porch welcome you, in true Arts and Crafts style, to this exceptional home. Inside, you have five bedrooms, six bathrooms, four reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a butler’s pantry and a swimming pool complex with gym space.
