House For Sale £1,150,000
A striking and very contemporary, architect designed three/four-bedroom property located in the village of Wingfield in the heart of Wiltshire. This detached, stone-built house, clad in stunning larch wood boasts an open plan kitchen and dining space, air source heat pump, modern lawned gardens and a garage with off road parking.
The vendor says: “We wanted to build an eco-house to a Scandinavian design. This house is larch clad with beautiful Crittall-style aluminium windows and doors. We have a separate drive which leads to a large parking area and garage/store. The garden is enclosed and laid mostly to lawn with some raised beds and black composite decking that wraps around the front and side of the house.”
“Inside, the main door opens directly into the spacious open plan kitchen and dining space. The floor throughout the house is lime-washed engineered oak, which really provides a wonderful unifying feature to the space. The ash wood kitchen is hand made by a local cabinet maker with flush doors and recessed pull handles. The units are painted with Farrow & Ball Railings – a soft black shade with blue undertones. The contrasting worktop is pure white Arena stone composite quartz and there is an island in the middle of the kitchen, complete with wine chiller. Two AEG ovens, one being a combination oven with microwave, are thoughtfully incorporated into a three-quarter height housing. The sink is stainless steel with Franke taps and on the opposite worktop is an AEG induction hob. There are aluminium French doors leading onto the decking area and covered outside kitchen with barbeque and raised planters. The dining area is a generous, light filled space and is separated from the snug area by a feature wall with Stova Riva two-way fire inset woodburning stove. This makes the snug a lovely cosy room, but still allows natural light to flood through the space and remains part of the kitchen and dining area yet has its own unique feel.”
“Next door to the snug is our office which can also be used as a bedroom. It has built-in plywood desks and cupboard and lovely views over the garden. It is a very calm space to work – in fact, the whole house is very tranquil and easy to live in. There is a downstairs cloakroom with a pop of green encaustic tiles from Bert & May. There is a further ground floor guest bedroom, which also looks over the garden, complete with en-suite bathroom and more stunning hexagonal tiles. At the far end of the ground floor is the utility room with access to the garden and space for a washing and drying machine, sink, shelving and built in cupboards for storage.”
“Upstairs there is a generous landing leading to two spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a lovely balcony overlooking the garden and a secret wall leading to the dressing room and en suite bathroom with egg bath, walk-in shower and a mix of Mandarin stone and pink Bert & May tiles. The house is painted a serene white throughout and the bathrooms provide pleasing pops of colour.”
“Wingfield is a small village, with a well-loved local pub, the Poplars, 0.6 miles away, and Church, and delicious cream teas at Stowford Farm, 1.1 miles away . Picturesque and lively Bradford-on-Avon is 2.6 miles away and world heritage city of Bath with well-regarded state and independent schools is 9.5 miles away. For trips further afield Westbury station is 6.6 miles away with a 75 minute journey to London.”
“Living here in this calm Scandi inspired house has been wonderful. It is very peaceful, yet also very sociable and we have loved exploring the countryside with our two dogs, yet also be able to visit Bradford-on-Avon and Bath so easily.”
