Description

This was originally a much smaller period farmhouse that the present owners have extensively rebuilt, creating a fabulous family house surrounded by lovely gardens and
paddocks in an excellent rural position. There is permission in place for a further two storey extension to the side of the property, that can be carried out by the present owner should one wish, further to negotiation. An oak framed porch leads to the large front door, opening into a huge open plan living/dining and kitchen space with a bespoke curved wooden staircase leading to
the first floor.

A stunning Balthaup fitted kitchen sits to one side with a central island unit with an oak breakfast bar off it for informal dining, whilst a large dining area at the far end has oak framed glass from floor to ceiling and hardwood bi-folding double doors opening onto the paved terrace. The whole space has natural stone tiled flooring with exposed brick work walls, making a substantial space with a mix of period farmhouse with a contemporary
modern luxury. At one side of the main living area is a sitting room with a wood panelled wall to one side with a wood burning stove inserted. Double doors lead out to the garden and there is planning permission to extend to create a further large reception room to the side of the
property with an external stone stair access to a home office/bedroom above. At the far side of the house is a utility room with an oak stable door to the front drive and access to a downstairs W.C. Next to this is the cosy office/ snug.

The bespoke wooden staircase leads up through to the house to the first and second floors with access to all the bedrooms and bath/shower rooms. Of note is the main bedroom, similar to the living space below, being oak framed with floor to ceiling glass windows with incredible
views. The doors open onto a covered balcony that stretches the length of the room. A walkway leads through to a dressing room and an en suite bath/shower room. The permission for the additional space to the side, off the
sitting room and bedroom 2 allows for an external staircase to lead to a further bedroom or home office. The property has been installed with niko home control, allowing the user to control the heating, lighting and video entry remotely, using a mobile phone application. The grand gate pillars have electric gates leading to a formal driveway though to a turning circle with water feature surrounded by lavender. There is a parking area
with planning permission for a triple garage. A secondary drive leads off to a separate access to the road, again through grand gates, allowing for a self-contained drive to the detached one bedroom annexe. The annexe has been
similarly finished to a very high standard with versatile usage and having its own outside space and privacy from the main house.

The level lawn garden surrounds the house and a paved patio extends to the rear in a southerly aspect. Mature, well spaced trees surround the boundary to one side of the garden, whilst
a post and rail fence surrounds the far side, enclosing the large paddock with field shelter.

Situation

The house is situated on the outskirts of both the historic national trust village of Lacock and the market town of Melksham, which offer good day-to-day shopping, pubs, toy shop and garden centres, whilst the beautiful Georgian city of Bath with its excellent restaurants, recreational and
cultural facilities is about 14 miles away. Bristol and Swindon are within easy access and Chippenham train station has a regular service into London Paddington (approximately 75
minutes). Motorway access to the M4 is either at junction 16 or 17. Sporting activities in the area include various renowned golf courses such as nearby Bowood House, and those with an interest in equestrian pursuits are well catered for. The
house is very well placed for many excellent schools including St Mary’s and St Margaret’s Calne, Marlborough College, Stonar and Dauntseys, and the well renowned Bath day
schools.
