Cherrington is a 1930s chalet bungalow in an elevated position above a beautiful Wiltshire valley,
offering flexible living space, extensive gardens and far-reaching views within easy reach of Bath. The
home is adjacent to a former quarry site where housing was developed towards the end of its working
life. The owners were immediately struck by the setting and, in particular, the unexpected valley view,
which they describe as transforming their decision to move here and shaping their enjoyment of a
quieter, nature-led lifestyle. ‘We didn’t expect the view when we first arrived – it completely won us
over and has become the defining feature of the home, changing constantly with the weather, light
and seasons,’ they explain.
The property is arranged as a house of two parts, allowing it to be used as one large home or divided
for independent living. The main section includes a modern kitchen/diner, utility, WC, reception room,
study and sunroom, while the second wing provides its own kitchen, reception room, bedroom and
bathroom. Two further bedrooms sit upstairs with ample eaves storage, and a modern shower room
has also been added.
Recent improvements include new windows and doors, bedroom skylights, insulation upgrades and
the conversion of a double garage into a fully insulated garden studio with electrics, which could be
used as a gym or hobby room. One wing has also been used as a self-contained annexe and Airbnb,
generating around £7,000 per annum, with strong potential for continued income.
The gardens wrap around the home with a large front lawn and private rear aspect, making it ideal for
families, pets and entertaining. The valley views are a constant feature, changing with the seasons
and attracting wildlife including bats and hares. Nearby footpaths, including the Macmillan Way,
connect directly into open countryside, while the local community is friendly and supportive. ‘It’s a
quiet, friendly road with individual homes – everyone introduced themselves when we moved in, and
there’s a real sense of security as people look out for each other.’
‘The kitchen/diner is the heart of the home – designed by an architect friend with rooflights in the
eaves, it stays bright even on dark days and naturally brings everyone together.’
‘The layout gives us real flexibility as a house of two parts – we can open it up for family gatherings or
separate it for guests.’
‘We love how quiet and rural it feels, surrounded by footpaths, fields and woodland, with wildlife all
around.’
‘We’ll miss the spaciousness, the views and abundant nature.’
