Fine & Country are delighted to present Greystones. An incredibly rare example of a beautifully renovated 4 bedroom period home within the setting of a world heritage site. Seller Insight: What is your favourite room of the house and why? For one of us, it's the elegant white panelled dining room with seating for eight and windows onto the garden. And for the other, it's both main bedrooms. Dual aspect, they have exceptional views over the stone circle and the entrance to Avebury Manor towards the Neolithic settlement of Windmill Hill visible on the skyline. Who do you think would be the next ideal owner? Somebody keen to live in the heart of this very special area and ready to explore and enjoy the many things offered by it and the community of which it is a part. What do you love most about the house and why? The garden. Ideal for an evening drink, at the back there are unobstructed views to the east up to the Ridgeway. The front is enclosed on two sides by a mature beech hedge. And there is a private gate into the stone circle. But perhaps most of all the silence. What do you love about the local community? Its warm welcome to all incomers. There is a village WhatsApp, a very active club ('Unhenged') with a bar serving light meals and sports facilities for young and old, a pub, a post office, a community shop open 7 days a week, and for children a well-equipped play area. And there is an annual pantomime … How easy is it to commute from here? Very. There are bus services to Marlborough, Calne, Swindon (often half-hourly), and Devizes and beyond. By car, these towns can be reached in 15-20 minutes. Trains to London, usually in less than an hour, and to Bath and Bristol and the West Country leave from nearby Swindon, Pewsey, and Hungerford. The M4 is 20 minutes away; the A4 even closer. What made you choose this property over others that were available at the time? Greystones has been in the family since the mid-1960s having been acquired initially as a second home and later becoming a primary residence. Avebury is a very special place being one part of a UNESCO-inscribed World Heritage Site. It is a peaceful and incredibly atmospheric location. What's not to like? Summary Internal Accommodation The subject of a significant and sympathetic restoration, Greystones exudes character and charm. Situated within the world-famous stone circle at a quiet end of the village and surrounded on both sides by open green vistas, this is a truly special home. The neutral colour scheme provides a light and airy feel to the whole house, aided by many of the rooms benefiting from a double aspect. The nicely flowing layout provides a panelled dining space off the kitchen, and a snug reception area off the main sitting room. A WC by the back door completes the ground floor. To the first floor are 4 well-appointed bedrooms, a family bathroom and 'Jack and Jill' style shower room. Outside A mature beech hedge provides privacy to the front of the property, and 2 parking spaces are in front of the garage. To the rear the garden offers wonderful views of the stones, henge and landscape beyond and a private gate into the stone circle. Please note that a portion of the rear garden is leased from the National Trust. Further down Green Street and on the opposite side of the road is Shipways, a field with an orchard of mature apple trees previously cultivated as a vegetable patch, which is to be sold with the house. This area totals just under 0.2 acres and is one of the very few privately owned plots within the stone circle. Location Avebury is one of Wiltshire's most iconic and historic villages, set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site and surrounded by the rolling North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Best known for its remarkable prehistoric stone circle — larger even than Stonehenge — the village offers a unique blend of history, countryside and community, making it one of the most sought-after locations in the Marlborough area. Despite its peaceful rural setting, Avebury enjoys excellent connectivity.

Village amenities include a popular pub, 'Unhenged' (offering a café and bar), a community shop open 7 days a week, a National Trust restaurant and shop, a cricket club, a social centre, and a strong sense of community.

Secondary schooling is available at the highly regarded Marlborough St John's School, while the area is exceptionally well served by renowned independent schools including Marlborough College, St Francis Pewsey, Dauntsey's School and St Mary's Calne.

Wonderful charm in abundance is on offer, complete with coach house annexe, pool and tennis court.

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.
