Detached house for sale in Broad Hinton, Swindon SN4

Built in 1772 using chalk stone dug from the Marlborough Downs, is the attractive Chalkston House. Originally multiple smaller dwellings, the property has been knocked through to create spacious, functional accommodation. Enter through the front door into a spacious hallway with cloakroom to your right. Step through the door to your left and you will find yourself in the indulgent dining room, decorated in a deep shade of burgundy matched to the foil of a bottle of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, and with original cabinetry. On your left is the carefully designed kitchen; charcoal cupboards provide ample storage, while white corian worktops and integrated appliances make cooking a breeze. Head back through the dining room, and into the generous sitting room; this elegant space is the perfect spot to relax and unwind with family or friends and abounds with original features. A large wood burning stove, and adjoining bread oven, provide a focal point and add warmth to the room; while French doors out into the garden allow you to move through the indoor and outdoor space freely. Beyond this is a well-proportioned study, allowing a separate space for home-working and a further utility room with access to the garden. Ascend the staircase onto the bright, airy landing and you will find two good sized bedrooms, a smaller single bedroom, and a well-appointed family bathroom. Step through the door on your right and enter the master suite. Generous and dual aspect, this spectacular room is complimented by an adjacent dressing room and indulgent master bathroom, complete with remote-control walk-in shower and luxurious freestanding double ended bath.
