Description
A stunning detached Victorian family residence in the popular area of Forest, near Melksham. This exceptional family home has been lovingly renovated throughout, retaining most of the original features including ceiling roses, cornicing and coving, finials and fireplaces as well as stripped wood four panel doors and window frames. Accommodation includes a stunning entrance hall with original Victorian floor tiles that are complemented by newly installed Victorian radiators and hand-made Hamilton light switches. There are three spacious reception rooms with two of them having feature fireplaces along with a bespoke hand-made fitted kitchen. There is a pantry and downstairs cloakroom. A gorgeous central tiled entrance hall connects all the accommodation on this floor. An impressive wood staircase rises to the vaulted landing ceiling with skylight that floods the house with light even on an overcast day. Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms, two of which have en suite shower rooms, and there is a fabulous large family bathroom that sits central to the house.
Electric gates open onto block paved driveway parking leading to the garage. The garage has an integrated log store, and a pedestrian gate opens onto a path leading past the small fruit garden to the front entrance porch.
The rear garden is an excellent size, with pretty leaf embossed ironwork balustrades separating the sun terrace patio from the lawned garden. A wooden Arbor covers an area where the current owners have a hot-tub, and there is a large wood-built home office adjacent.
Location
The house is situated on the outskirts of the market town of Melksham, which offer good day-to-day shopping, whilst the beautiful Georgian city of Bath with its excellent restaurants, recreational and cultural facilities is about 14 miles away. The beautiful National Trust Village of Lacock is close by. Bristol and Swindon are within easy access and Chippenham train station has a regular service into London Paddington (approximately 75 minutes). Motorway access to the M4 is either at junction 16 or 17. Sporting activities in the area include various renowned golf courses such as nearby Bowood House, and those with an interest in equestrian pursuits are well catered for. The house is very well placed for many excellent schools including St Mary’s and St Margaret’s Calne, Marlborough College, Stonar and Dauntseys, and the well renowned Bath day schools.
