A substantial Grade II listed period farmhouse with five bedrooms and three bathrooms on a three quarter acre plot on the southern outskirts of Chippenham.

The vendor says: “The charm of this picturesque Cotswold farmhouse built in 1738 was very apparent when we first saw it. Since then, we have seen it looking so pretty in the snow and later in the year clad with wisteria. A sweeping drive leads to the house with parking area and chicken run to the side. The house has two storeys and an attic floor with a stone tiled roof and an impressive façade with its mullion windows. The entrance hall and kitchen have original flagstone floors. The kitchen has an AGA and units painted a stone colour with quartz worktop and a double Belfast sink. The island is painted a contrasting deep green with dark oak worktop. The kitchen opens out into the conservatory which we use as a dining room which is a lovely sunny spot as it is south facing. Next to the kitchen is a study/games room/ library. Working from home is easy here as we have a dedicated fibre broadband line into the house. The formal drawing room is beyond this with traditional oak flooring, the original fireplace and with oak panelling. The family room is a dark green/blue, also with traditional oak flooring. There is a limestone tiled floor to the boot room adjacent to this, and a utility room completes the ground floor.”

“On the first floor there are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room. Next to this is a small double bedroom and a double bedroom with family bathroom. This floor has an attic space which is above the kitchen, currently used as storage but could be another bedroom and en suite, subject to necessary permissions. The attic floor above has one large bedroom and one smaller bedroom and a bathroom off the landing as well as storage.”

“Outside there is a lovely big garden which is mainly laid to lawn. Chippenham railway station is 1.6 miles away with fast trains to London in one hour. Chippenham has many excellent primary schools: Monkton Park, St Peter’s, Redlands and excellent secondary schools such as Sheldon and Hardenhuish. There is also the full range of supermarkets and leisure centre. Historic Lacock is 2.6 miles away, and the bustling market town of Corsham with many delightful galleries and cafes in 3.6 miles away. M4 at junction 17 gives good access to London and the west country and Georgian Bath is 13 miles away.”
