Bedrooms: 4
A beautifully located 4 double bedroom period cottage with a superb large garden, tucked away in a popular rural hamlet between the towns of Devizes and Melksham. Offered with no onward chain.
This spacious character home with over 1500sqft of accommodation, boasts plenty of period features including a fabulous Inglenook with an inset open fire in the sitting room, exposed ceiling beams and stone walling. The property has been in the same ownership since 1988 and has been a much loved home. Internally, whilst both fully functioning, the bathroom and the kitchen are now of an age where buyers have the opportunity to update them to their own tastes and requirements. A porch opens through to the 18ft open plan kitchen/diner which is dual aspect with a range of fitted wall and base cupboards, electric oven and hob and space for further appliances. Set off the kitchen is a small sun room with access to the garden as well as a useful downstairs cloakroom. The delightful 23ft sitting room is also dual aspect and features that wonderful Inglenook. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms in total, 2 featuring wardrobes and one with its own wash hand basin. A good sized bathroom has a coloured suite with both a corner bath and double width shower.
Outside, a gated entrance leads onto a large driveway with ample parking that leads to the double garage, which has light, power and a personal door to the rear. There is scope to extend over the garage (subject to gaining the relevant consents) in order to increase the overall first floor layout. The charming garden is a noticeable feature of this lovely home- mainly laid to lawn and enjoying complete privacy, it has a wealth of well stocked beds, established trees and shrubs as well as a screened off composting area. The cottage backs on to open countryside.
Situation
Redstocks is a quiet rural hamlet surrounded by countryside and farmland yet is conveniently located within easy reach of local amenities including a primary school and sports facilities, and the town centres of Devizes and Melksham are both only a few miles by car.
Melksham is situated c.13 miles to the south east of Bath amid the thriving market towns of Devizes, Chippenham and Corsham, offering a wide range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. The major centres of Bath, Bristol and Swindon are all within commuting distance as is the M4 junction 17 to the north of Chippenham, which also has a mainline rail station (London Paddington). There is a sports and social club with swimming pool, tennis facilities and a regular monthly cinema. The town is well served by supermarkets including a large Waitrose, Asda, Lidl and Aldi. The Kennet & Avon canal, with its walks, boating and flora, is c.1 mile away. There is easy access to the local train station.
