House For Sale £475,000
A truly unique opportunity to purchase a three-bedroom terraced cottage situated amongst tranquil countryside just under a mile from Lacock village. With its manicured lawn, farmhouse-inspired fittings and the most magical shared woodland space, this home is a wonderful space to escape the hustle of modern day living but close enough for easy commuting to work and all local facilities.
The property is perfect for families with children, or grandchildren or simply someone who just loves nature, as you can explore straight from the rear garden gate. A great space for anyone longing to spend their days entertaining loved ones in the summer sun or chilling out in a quiet spot with the yoga mat.
On entering the property, the front door opens into an entrance hallway with parquet style Amtico flooring, oak staircase leading to the first floor, and plenty of space to put extra storage for coats and muddy boots with an under stairs cupboard to hide things away. To the left of the hall, you’ll find the first of two reception rooms. The current owners are using this space as a study separate from the lounge, which is ideal for remote workers or children who need to concentrate on homework. For the younger ones, it makes a superb playroom too!
The larger reception room is a spacious living room, with wide French doors leading directly into the rear garden - so you can bring the outdoors in and create more room for children to play as the weather warms up. The lounge features a log burner with stone fire surround, and more than enough space to seat the whole family together after a busy day. Next to the living room is a deceptively spacious open-plan kitchen/dining /family space - perfect for entertaining or family dinners with more than enough room for a decent table and sofa seating. In the L-shaped kitchen area, you’ll find a double-basin sink with mixer tap, integrated double oven, electric hob and lots of space for food storage within its units. There’s also room for a freestanding fridge/freezer, washing machine and dryer, combining the kitchen with a utility space for laundry. Accessed just off the utility section, opposite the back door, is a useful ground floor bathroom with WC and wash basin.
Upstairs, the gorgeous master bedroom is served by an en-suite bathroom with WC, wash basin, shower cubicle and heated towel rail. The master itself is a spacious double with built in wardrobes and far-reaching views of idyllic countryside from the window. A second double bedroom can also be found upstairs, again with the perfect view across the property’s woodland and fields behind. We’re sure any lucky children whose bedroom this would become will love looking for rabbits playing in the grass before bedtime! A third single bedroom completes the sleeping arrangements and would make the ideal space for a child’s room, guest room, or even a second study. A beautiful family bathroom also serves the first floor, with a WC, wash basin and panelled bath with overhead shower, built in storage, heated towel radiator and Amtico flooring.
To the left of the cottage, gravelled off-road parking is available with a detached garage, which sits within a block of three.
An excellent, private back garden is accessed through both the back door in the kitchen and the French doors in the living room. There’s a patio area to enjoy a BBQ and drinks with friends, a large lawn for the children to play on plus loads of room for extra seating or garden storage.
But as if this space wasn’t enough…
Step through the garden back gate, and you’ll find yourself in nothing short of a woodland wonderland. If you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy nature at its finest, this is it. Walking through the gate will lead you to a gravel pathway for access around the back of the property, with a huge lawn - perfect for picnics! But it doesn’t end there. Through a clearing to the back of the lawn lies approx. 2 acres of private woodland area, which is shared amongst the six Notton Park development properties. Filled with daffodils in spring and the sound of birdsong all around, it really is the most idyllic place for children to explore, put down their devices, get their clothes dirty and build dens. Alternatively, take your chair, yoga mat and a glass of wine and escape the busy world for a while. The woodland is completely secured with a boundary fence, so dog owners should find the dog won't escape holes, unless they re a Houdini!
