3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Cockhill, Trowbridge BA14

There is something particularly special about a 1930s home when its original character has been retained and this striking home has that from the moment you step inside. Stained glass, picture rails and original doors sit alongside carefully chosen updates, while generous rooms, high ceilings and plenty of natural light give the house a lovely feel.

The living room is a proper separate room, with a large bay window bringing in plenty of natural light and a log burner making it a cosy place to settle in. Next door, the dining/garden room has its own working open fire and patio doors opening straight onto the garden – perfect when you have friends or family over, particularly in the warmer months when you can open the doors and take everything outside.

The refitted kitchen has classic cream cabinets with contrasting black worktops and an integrated fridge, with a door giving direct access to the driveway and garden. There is also a stylish downstairs cloakroom, while the spacious hallway has cleverly designed storage tucked beneath the stairs.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is particularly impressive. The large bay window brings in so much light and there is plenty of space alongside the fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is another generous double looking over the garden, while the third is a large single or smaller double. The bathroom has also been stylishly refitted with a bath and overhead shower.

And then there is the garden. This has clearly been a real labour of love. Set within a particularly generous plot, a long lawn is surrounded by deep, established borders filled with an incredible variety of plants, flowers, shrubs and trees. There are different places to sit and enjoy it too, with a large patio immediately outside the dining/garden room and a further seating area towards the end of the garden, so you can follow the sun throughout the day.

The substantial greenhouse is another lovely part of the garden, with plenty of room for growing as well as a quiet spot to sit with a coffee and enjoy everything around you. Whether you're a keen gardener yourself or would simply like to enjoy what has already been created here, this is a garden you could easily lose an afternoon in.

The house is set well back from the road behind a generous front garden, with a long driveway providing parking for several vehicles and leading to the double garage/workshop.

As well as everything you can see, a huge amount has been invested in the house itself. During the current ownership it has been extensively renovated, including replacement of the roof, electrics and heating system, while the walls have been stripped back and redone. The kitchen, bathroom and cloakroom have also been refitted, with further improvements including new flooring and replacement windows and doors where required. There is also a substantial insulated and fully boarded loft with sturdy ladder access, providing excellent storage.

Cockhill sits on the Bradford-on-Avon side of Trowbridge, giving you the best of both worlds – countryside walks close to home while the town centre, railway station, schools and shops are all within easy reach. Bradford-on-Avon and the Kennet & Avon Canal are also close by, giving you even more choice when you want to get out for a walk.
