Detached house for sale in Lanhill, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN14

Built in circa 1750, this charming Grade II listed family home has been extended and completely refurbished, including new wiring and plumbing. The welcoming entrance hall has discreet storage for outdoor wear, space for seating and a WC. The drawing room provides a generous space packed with features: Wooden ceiling beams, window seats and a welcoming hearth and fireplace with wood burner. Glazed French doors open into a porch and onto the paved terrace and gardens - with idyllic countryside views. On the other side of the room, there are internal double doors into a snug - a cosy room with electric 'wood burner' and views to the fields beyond.
The kitchen and dining room are within the extension, constructed in 2015 and clad in stonework that blends sympathetically with the original building. The bespoke kitchen has white Parapan units, polished green Namibian stone worktops, a built-in larder, a Quooker tap and a mix of Neff and Liebherr appliances. Skyframe sliding glazed 'pocket' doors allow a flush transition between indoors and outdoors, seamlessly connecting the two spaces. The tiled flooring has underfloor heating, as do the study and utility room on this floor.
On the first floor the principal bedroom suite has an attractive stone fireplace, window seats and built-in wardrobes the length of one wall. The generous, grey marble ensuite has a walk-in shower and a deep bath, as well as underfloor heating (as have all the bathrooms). There are two further bedrooms at this level - one with vaulted ceilings - and a shower room.
Upstairs to the second floor, there are more vaulted ceilings framed by sandblasted and treated wooden beams - creating an attractive and generous bedroom suite, with built-in wardrobes and a modern, tiled bathroom. A large loft storage space can be accessed here.
Approached via a private road, Wellclose Farm sits in just under 12 acres of gardens, woodlands and park land, surrounded by land with agriculture ties. Every view from the house is attractive and far-reaching, with carefully landscaped gardens, unique sculptures and shaped hedging directing the vistas.
The tarmac drive is approached via a gated cattle grid and provides plenty of space for parking. The gardens wrap around the house on all sides, with different points of interest on each. From the drive, a winterbourne flows along the edge of park land with an eclectic mix of trees such as Lime, Larch, Copper Beech, Holm Oak, Scots Pine and Silver Birch.
A paved garden terrace is adjacent to the kitchen - an ideal spot for outside dining. A few steps up, there's a mini orchard with apple, plum, cherry and damson trees. Borders on the woodland side of house are packed with Arum Lilies, Agapanthus and Anemones and there are two wells. There are woodland walks, a bluebell wood with two paths and a landscaped pond. All the fields have been drained, are horse-friendly, and have new hedging.
Tucked away on the far side of hedging is a three-bay open fronted barn (built in 2013) and a Shippon barn with four 10ft x12 ft stables, a workshop, wash box and a tack room.
