Situation and Amenities Cross Hayes House enjoys a wonderful private and secluded location set well back from the road. It sits on the eastern edge of Wilcot, which is set amongst the pretty Pewsey Vale countryside. Pewsey is about 1.5 miles to the east, which has a wide range of local shops and facilities including a mainline railway station to London Paddington taking from 56 minutes. The station is a short drive or easily accessible by bike. From 2018 there will be a useful link to the city via Crossrail at Reading Station.
There is an excellent garden centre at nearby Woodborough with shops and cafe and the Seven Stars pub at Bottlesford is very popular. Further regional centres include the charming towns of Marlborough and Salisbury both having a Waitrose. The area is also well served by good road links with access to the A303 (M3) to the south or M4 to the north.
Sporting facilities in the area include racing at Salisbury and Newbury. Golf at Marlborough.
Hunting with the Tedworth or Royal
Artillery packs and an extensive network of bridleways and footpaths locally. The area is renowned for its superb range of private schools including St Francis (Pewsey) Marlborough, Dauntseys, St Marys Calne, Godolphin and Farleigh.
There are also several excellent Primary and State schools within reach.
DescriptionCross Hayes House is a handsome Edwardian country house which is believed to date from around 1905. The house is built of mellow brick elevations clad with wisteria and magnolia under a tile roof, with tall windows and solid front door. The property sits at the head of a copper beech lined drive in an elevated position with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. It is not listed.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors with much period detail and is immaculately presented throughout. The reception rooms are arranged off a central hall with panelled ceiling and attractive
turned staircase to the first floor. The drawing room is a beautiful room with ornate marble fireplace, cornicing and French windows into the garden.
The Kitchen / breakfast room has a 2 oven gas fired Aga, central island and dining area with french windows onto a garden terrace. On the first floor there is a superb master bedroom with en- suite bathroom and shower with four further bedrooms and 3 further bath / shower rooms. There is also a large attic.
Please see the floor plans for room dimensions and layout.
OutsideThe house is approached through carved stone entrance piers over a gravelled copper beech lined drive to a parking area on the eastern side of the house. There is a pretty oval shaped lawn and turning circle with a weeping silver pear tree. Adjacent to the house is a double garage with brick and weather boarded elevations and up and over doors. The current owners previously obtained planning consent for a larger building with room over.

Gardens and GroundsThe gardens and grounds are spectacular and surround the house on all sides. They have been beautifully cared for and provide a wonderful setting for the house. Adjoining the rear of the house is a charming west facing terrace with summer house.
Extensive lawns stretch away to the south with a variety of well stocked herbaceous borders including roses and azealeas. A magnificent topiared yew hedge leads to an avenue of flowering cherry trees and two further areas of lawn bordered by mature hedges.
Further to the south is a large area of paddock with a central avenue of sweet chesnut trees and painted gate at the far end providing a lovely focal point. The paddock is flanked in part by mature trees and in the eastern corner is a run down barn, which would provide the ideal site for new stabling if required.
Beyond is a small cottage, constructed of painted elevations under a tile roof. It now requires updating, but the accommodation briefly comprises: Games / Party Room with vaulted ceiling and Kitchenette, Shower & WC, stairs to attic room. Within a shrubbery is a timber framed garden building / potting shed.
The grounds are very private with superb mature trees adding to this exceptional setting. In all the property extends to about 10 acres.
