The accommodation is arranged over three floors to create considerable flexibility for family and guests. In addition there are large cellars for wine and good storage.
The two bedroom cottage provides excellent guest or family accommodation but equally could be let to provide income.
The grounds which extend to about 2.33 acres are sufficiently big to comfortably take a swimming pool and tennis court, subject to the relevant consents.
A gravelled driveway leads up to a courtyard which provides ample parking and there are a number of useful outbuildings for storage including a heated dog kennel and log store. There is a children's play area with a tree house and trampoline.
Cleeve House has a commanding position overlooking its garden. The delightful gardens are south facing and incredibly private; they are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. There is an orchard containing apple, pear and Victoria plum tree.
There is a flagged terrace on the western side of the house which provides wonderful sheltered outdoor entertaining space and takes advantage of the views.
Cleeve House is an impressive property situated in a Conservation Area on the edge of Upavon at the end of a no-through lane and overlooking beautiful countryside.
Upavon has good local facilities including two pubs, a shop/post office, village hall, hairdressers and golf club. There is also a doctors surgery . More extensive facilities are available in the market towns of Marlborough and Devizes. The historic cities of Bath and Salisbury are nearby, as are the larger commercial centres of Swindon, Andover and Newbury.
The property is well placed for many well regarded schools in the area such as St Francis, Dauntseys, Marlborough College and St Mary's, Calne. Nearby rights of way provide access to the lovely surrounding down land with the nearby River Avon providing attractive chalk fishing.
