I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Calcot. The Calcot property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
