4 Bedroom House - Detached

A truly impressive, elegant family home built in 2005, set in an exceptional 4.4 acre (STM) wraparound plot, nestled on the edge of this much sought after North Wiltshire village. Built of attractive Bath stone with extensive adjoining equestrian facilities and scope for various further developments (STPP), this desirable detached house extends to approx. 2,400 sq. ft of internal accommodation and benefits from stabling, outbuildings, a double garage and is offered for sale with the rarity of no onward chain.

Having been lovingly updated and modernised over the last 20 years of ownership, this distinctive and discretely located home is approached via a no through lane and a private drive leading to a large flint gravel driveway, situated behind a traditional five bar wooden gate. Internally a remarkably light and spacious entrance hall with a striking central staircase is a superb welcome. Located off the hall is an exquisite dual aspect living room including an imposing fireplace with a log burner and attractive stone surround, complimented by bespoke wooden cabinetry, in addition to glazed double doors to both aspects to the garden. The house has also recently benefited from sumptuous new carpets throughout.

Situated to the opposite side of the house is the country style kitchen, boasting a comprehensive range of attractive bespoke in-frame shaker wall and base units with deluxe granite worktops, a traditional Alpha Cooker/Boiler made by AGA, integrated white goods, a sociable central island as well as new dual integrated fridge freezers. With modern décor, a charming, tiled floor and a casual dining/seating area, the room is a wonderful space to relax and entertain. Neighbouring this is an inviting formal dining room, which is fantastically proportioned with a lovely garden outlook and external patio access. A very useful home office as well as fully fitted boot and utility room with side access and a downstairs cloakroom with W/C, completes the ground floor accommodation.

Rising to the first floor are four immaculately presented and light filled double bedrooms with splendid, fitted storage and stylish contemporary décor. With a unique blend of traditional charm and modern convenience, there are two modern en-suite shower rooms, as well as a luxurious family bathroom with an impressive freestanding bath.

Externally the paddocks, grounds and outbuildings are unique for a modern home with outstanding and far reaching rural vistas with a great degree of overall privacy. A valuable rear driveway is ideal for equestrian usage as well as the storage of horse boxes, trailers, outdoor equipment and caravans. A competition level, fenced riding arena sits beside a lower garden paddock. Neighbouring this is a gated yard with additional stabling, hen house, hay barn and tractor storage, which is subtly tucked away behind the detached double garage. Beyond the considerable and enclosed landscaped lawn, situated directly behind the house, is a further large paddock for livestock with additional stabling and yard. The entirety of the plot is confined by established hedgerow, post and rail fencing.

Situated adjacent to an attractive array of residential homes, this unassuming country house is located within walking distance to the renowned and ever popular village pub, The Somerford Arms. Little Somerford village itself is located within easy reach of the nearby market towns of Malmesbury and Chippenham, both offering leisure and shopping amenities, in addition to greater attractions of Cirencester, Bath and Bristol as well as fantastic access to rail (Kemble, Chippenham, Swindon) with London under an hour away, in addition to the nearby motorway networks (M4 and M5).

The area is reputed for its choice of well-regarded private schools including Westonbirt, Beaudesert Park, St Mary's Calne, Marlborough College and those in Bath and Cheltenham. The house falls within the catchment area of the excellent state grammar schools in nearby Stroud whilst the local town also benefits from the highly rated primary and secondary Malmesbury Schools. Recreational and sporting facilities in the area include Racing at Cheltenham and Bath; Polo at Westonbirt and Cirencester Park; Eventing at Badminton and Gatcombe; Golf at Castle Combe, Chippenham and Cirencester and Water Sports at The Cotswold Water Park. In addition, nearby places of interest include Westonbirt Arboretum, the National Trust properties at Lacock, Dyrham Park & Newark Park, in addition to Bowood House and world famous Longleat.
