House For Sale £1,250,000
Oaklands is a seven-bedroom, detached, red brick home built in 1885 on a generous plot on the edge of this popular Wiltshire town. Remaining in the same family through to present day, the house has generous proportions and many original features such as corbels, cornicing, ceiling roses and fireplaces.
Hidden from the road by mature shrubs and trees, Oaklands is approached via a sweeping horseshoe driveway: The house sits in the centre with a garden and garage on its right and stable and one-bedroom cottage to its left.
Through the oak front door there's a spacious hallway with patterned Victorian tiled flooring and a central mahogany staircase and banister. To the right are the adjoining dining and drawing rooms, both with elegant fireplaces with marble mantles and the latter leading into the conservatory.
Back into the hall, there's an office with a door to the rear and a sitting room with bay windows that overlook the substantial south facing garden.
At the front side of the house, there's a good-sized kitchen with Shaker-style units painted in Farrow & Ball's French Grey and dark granite worktops, fitted appliances, a range cooker and Belfast sink. Two doors more lead from this room: One into a generous larder fitted with wooden shelving and cupboards, and the other to a practical utility room, and there's access to the cellar below.
On the first floor, the spaciousness and elegance of the hallway continues, the principal bedroom has a stylish en suite with bath, there is a guest bedroom with en suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The second floor has a further three bedrooms, one which could be a living room as it has an adjoining kitchen, and a family bathroom.
Looking out to the rear of the house, the south-facing garden has a generous lawn at its centre, mature shrubs, trees and hedging along its perimeter and a variety of flowerbeds and vegetable plots throughout. A large patio close to house allows outside dining and there's a gravelled path that leads to another dining patio and seating areas, the garden store and greenhouse. Currently, there's a low wooden fence that separates the main garden from the cottage garden.
At the front, there are several beds with mature shrubs, hedging and trees that create privacy from the road, as well as a small and enclosed lawned garden. The tarmac horseshoe drive links the two entrances and a double garage sits to one side of this. To the left of the house, there's a courtyard, the stable and adjoining one bedroom cottage.
Converted in 2000 from the old garden sheds and carriage store, the cottage is accessed from the side of the plot, the front door opens onto a hallway with storage and a WC. Doors lead to the living room and adjoining kitchen/dining room; both of these rooms have glass doors with access to the rear garden. The bedroom has an en suite bathroom. The attached stable could be converted subject to the obtaining the necessary planning consents.
