A three bedroom semi-detached family home, with an attached three bedroom annex, gardens and garage, located just over 1 mile from the centre of the family friendly village of Colerne, 8.6 miles from the centre of Bath and 7.5 miles from Chippenham railway station with trains to London in 60 minutes. This property presents a perfect opportunity for multi-generational living, or an additional source of income.

The vendor says: “We originally bought the main house from my in-laws who purchased it as a new build, about 35 years ago. We built the annex for them to live in about 17 years ago and that has suited our two families extremely well over this time. Both properties have their own front door, but the services are shared; this represents a unique opportunity for twenty first century living. The main house has a natural stone floor throughout with a spacious hall with storage cupboards and a cloakroom leading off the hall. There is an office at the front and a dining room which leads into the lovely sunny family room - an extension with a glass atrium roof and bi-folding doors looking out over open fields. This is our favourite room in the house, and we spend a lot of time here enjoying the views and sitting in front of the wood burning stove in the winter evenings. There is underfloor heating in this room. This leads back into the kitchen which runs the full length of the house. It is shaker in style with grey in-frame units and granite work top and has an island with inlaid granite top and two sinks one at each end of the kitchen – a double Belfast at one end and an underslung sink at the other end. The kitchen has views over the front and the fields at the back. There is also an interconnecting door to the annex.”

“Upstairs there are three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a walk in shower that is fully tiled in natural stone and five built in wardrobes and lovely views over the fields at the back which are owned by Calder House private school. There is a spacious family bathroom with walk in shower the size of a bath, airing cupboard and boiler cupboard.”

“The annex, which has its own front door, and can be accessed from the kitchen of the main house, has a kitchen/diner with oak units, integrated double oven and grill, downstairs cloakroom and a sitting room with views over the fields as well as a conservatory with views over the fields. There are two double bedrooms upstairs, the principal one has a dual aspect over the front and the garden, and there is an office or smaller bedroom as well. There is a large family bathroom with walk-in shower. Outside the garden is mainly laid to lawn and there is a shed.”

“Outside the main house we have a covered barbeque area with Indian sandstone flooring and cedar shingle roof and a summer house. There is a large high garage designed to house a camper van and now used for two to three cars, with power and light and roller shutter doors. There is also room for three cars in front of the garage and a small car at the back. The property has double gates, so is quite private. When we are inside the house there is a sense of escape from our busy lives, you wouldn’t even think we had neighbours.”

“We have been exceptionally lucky to live in the hamlet of Thickwood, but so close to the vibrant community of Colerne which is a very friendly and welcoming village. There are two pubs serving good food, a local shop, newsagent, hairdresser, cosy cafe, lovely church, Saturday market, and a Post Office. There is a local playgroup and a village primary school, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The village also has a football and rugby club with a large mini section for kids playing both sports. Luxurious Lucknam Park Hotel is 0.4 miles away, offering fine dining, Spa and equestrian centre as well as a well-known cooking school.”


“There are so many stunning country walks around here, and we are also so close to both Georgian Bath and Chippenham railway station with extremely fast links to London. We have been incredibly lucky to live here in this house which offers such flexible accommodation in this beautiful part of the country.”
