About this house rental
Greenheys is a cosy 18th Century semi detached red brick house in the heart of the historic ridge top village of Seend in Wiltshire where most houses are listed - there is also a wonderful village shop. As befitting a period property the decor is traditional with antique furniture. It offers a cosy elegant accommodation in an historic location for a countryside break. It sleeps 4 with an option for 5. It boasts a beautiful walled garden with well stocked flower beds.
The house is a charming 18th century former coaching Inn set across 2 floors. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, including two doubles (one king size bed, one double bed with an additional single bed), sleeping 4 to 5 guests. It has one bathroom and a ground floor cloak room.
The main living room on ground floor has comfortable seating around a wood burner together with a formal dining area. There is also a separate drawing room also with log burner and widescreen TV + Blu Ray player as well as an upright piano.
The kitchen with marbled work services is well equipped with an adjoining walk- in pantry and separate breakfast room. There is also a boot room to store outdoor clothes and coats. As a well as a laundry room with washing machine and dryer.
The patio outside with teak dining table and chairs is a pleasant area to dine in the summer and enjoy the walled garden and elegant greenhouse. The garden includes an enclosed lawned area, and well stocked flower beds. Access via ancient footpaths lead to the Kennet and Avon Canal to the rear and to the beautiful plains of Wiltshire to the front.
The local market towns of Devizes and Melksham are less than 10 mins drive. The historic towns of Marlborough (25 mins) Bath (35 mins) Salisbury (45 mins) amongst other are further afield. Stonehenge, Avebury and Longleat are also within striking distance.
It is a perfect place to relax with family and/or friends, for re-unions & celebrations, for a long or short break, and also for local events like the Marlborough Summer School.

Lovely country house in a small rural village. House dates back to 1600s. ( Low ceilings. Watch your head.). This not a holiday rental, so there are lots of signs indicating what is private. Great walk down to the canal and across the ridge to the countryside.

A gorgeous period cottage, beautifully presented and an absolute joy for our stay.

Great location to explore south west England. Two nice bedrooms, plently of space downstairs - kitchen, sitting room, dining room, TV room. The patio and garden are beautiful. It had everything we needed, including two travel coffee mugs, so we could take our coffee with us!
The town was very walkable, went to the local pub, the post office and walked around the beautiful church and churchyard.
Everything was clean and fresh for our visit. I would recommend this place. My grandson loved it,
6 / 10Average·Nov 2024
The property was much larger than expected and full of character, but is clearly someone’s home . The house is full of the owner’s possessions, too many books all over the place including by the toilet seat which isn’t very hygienic. There are 2 staircases which are out of bounds which I found quite unnerving as anyone could be hiding up there. The kitchen was quite small. Dirty dishcloth and washing up brushes. The microwave and fridge needed a deep clean. The pedal bin was broken. The plates and bowls were very old and cracked or chipped . The bathrooms were clean though (apart from used soap left). Bed comfortable , but only a quarter of the wardrobe available for guests as owners clothes were in there. The wood burner had not been cleaned out prior to our visit . The parking is quite tricky and quite hazardous parking on the busy road . The garden is large and well kept. Lovely walks nearby and a couple of decent pubs.
