House For Sale £1,100,000
Description
Arranged over three floors, this stunning and historic house offers approximately 4,099 sq ft of attractive living space.
Entering the house into the wide main hallway which runs centrally through the middle of the ground floor, all rooms lead off it, offering light airy accommodation. The drawing room
is steeped in history with its huge stunning inglenook fireplace and bread oven, Georgian panelling, window seats and fielded panelled shutters and a remarkable elm Jacobean staircase leads to the first floor. A beautifully
appointed kitchen/breakfast room is very much the heart of the home with a bespoke kitchen built around the cream Aga and there is access through to the utility room with deep under-stairs storage cupboard. The sitting room
is beautifully light with two 16-pane sash windows and glazed door leading into the garden and has a wonderful bath stone fireplace with open fire. There is a notable double-height cloakroom with period feature window,
together with an elegant and light dining room with moulded panelling, shutters, and fireplace with views onto Church Street, which catches the morning sun at breakfast.
On the first floor are four considerable double bedrooms, all with period features including the sizeable master bedroom with a high ceiling and a pretty light-filled ensuite. The family bathroom is panelled with window seat and shutters, shower and separate WC, with contemporary basin and skylight.
Oak stairs lead up to the second floor with two further two further bedrooms, one which extends the width of the house, and both with exposed beams and oak trusses adding more magic to this stunning home. This floor could be used as gym, office, or therapy space as it is peaceful
and private
Outside, the stunning and private walled garden is surrounded by a high stone gabled wall with an array of climbing flowers, along with fig, damson and bay trees, weeping pears, mature shrubs, topiary and well stocked borders. A glass canopy
over the flagstone patio provides the perfect place for al fresco dining in all weathers and leads onto a central pathway through a rose arch to an additional flagstone patio. The stone summer house has double doors, glass inserts and power, so is ideal for garden storage or a home
office. At the rear of the garden, a gate gives pedestrian access, especially useful for bringing bicycles through.
Location
Noted for its attractive High Street with an array of independent shops, coffee houses, restaurants, and excellent public houses, Corsham has a wealth of beautiful buildings dating from the 16th Century, including the magnificent stately home, Corsham Court with open parkland and fields, perfect for dog walking and exercising.
Heywood Preparatory School is less than a minute's walk away, along with excellent Primary and Secondary schools. The newly refurbished Springfield Leisure Centre with indoor climbing wall, pool, tennis courts, gym and outdoor
Parkour park is a popular addition, and Castle Combe Circuit nearby offers motor racing.
The historic towns of Lacock, Bradford-upon-Avon and Castle Combe are a short drive away and, like Corsham, have been used as filming locations including Poldark, Wolf Hall, Downtown Abbey, Harry Potter and Stephen
Spielberg's Warhorse.

Bath, Bristol and Swindon are a short drive and there are fast road links to London and the West Country via the M4 motorway at Junction 17, together with superfast direct main line rail services from Chippenham station (4 miles
distant) to London Paddington (approximately 65 minutes).
