Property The joy of Old Marston House lies in its beautifully proportioned internal space and elegant gentility. The property dates from the seventeenth century in origin, with a Georgian addition to the northern end. It forms the rear and older section of a substantial property, divided some 50 years ago to form two large dwellings. Old Marston House may be attached, but with its sweeping drive and handsome façade, the feel is very much one of a standalone house.

The ground floor accommodation flows beautifully, from a welcoming reception hall with cloakroom/utility to its rear, and the elegant Georgian sitting room, through to the spacious family room in the centre with a dining area, and on to the large kitchen/breakfast room. On the first floor are four good sized bedrooms, one with a shower, and two bathrooms, one ensuite to the main bedroom. The top floor is accessed via permanent steps and provides space for either a fifth bedroom or home office.

Outside The property is approached via a stone pillared entrance to a sweeping gravel drive which bisects areas of lawn and leads to the front of the house where there is extensive parking. There is a good and solidly built double garage and deep beds are freshly planted. To the side is the oil tank and garden shed, while to the rear is a further garden area divided into two sections with a terrace and orchard.

Directions Heading along the A303, take the southern exit at the Sparkford roundabout and continue through Queen Camel. Take the first turning at the next roundabout and you will shortly enter Marston Magna. Take the left turning into Rimpton Road and continue to the end of the village. The entrance to Old Marston House is on the right just after Perrys Recycling.
