House For Sale £795,000
Hallgate House is a stunning 19th Century, Bath stone built detached family home, set in the heart of the historical village of Pewsey. This substantial home is arranged over three floors, providing a sense of space throughout and offers many archetypal features including tall ceilings and large sash windows. The enclosed, dual aspect porch is of a good size, perfect for housing those muddy boots from the many footpaths to explore. An inner hall then takes you through to the ground floor rooms with the beautifully proportioned sitting room to the front. This has a cosy wood burner with ornate period surround situated in the centre of the room with two large built in shelving cabinets for ample storage either side. The elegant sash windows allow the evening light to flow through the room, which adds to the ambience.
The expansive open plan kitchen/dining room is at the rear of the house and offers a range of fitted cupboards with white marble effect worktops and an array of contrasting navy blue cabinetry and shelving. An Everhot Range stove takes pride of place in the kitchen adding to the period features and charm, whilst the island adds a splash of contemporary living. There is plenty of space for a large dining table with French doors leading out to the patio space in the garden, all of which creates a lovely social room whilst cooking and entertaining.
From the hallway, there is a good-sized study, which overlooks the front garden. A large utility room houses the water systems and boiler and has space for washing machines and dryers; there is an independent sink with an array of cupboards and a worktop to finish, ample hanging space for laundry completes the room. To finish the ground floor there is a downstairs wet room.
An elegant staircase leads to a sizeable first floor landing; here you will find a lovely dual aspect main bedroom with a built in wardrobe and views through the sash windows that overlook the garden and side of the house. An ensuite bathroom finishes the room off, with soft grey tiles, which complement the white suite and a solid marble top sink. The spacious second bedroom also enjoys views over the rear garden and benefits from an ensuite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, which complete the first floor, and both are enhanced by the lovely sash windows allowing the warm afternoon light to flood in.
The unique family bathroom is fitted with spectacular tiling underfoot, and has a neutral white suite and is triple aspect making it bright and airy.
The top floor is separated off by a door providing a sense of privacy; it opens into a triple aspect bedroom which is ideal as a guest bedroom/office or playroom. There is plenty of eaves storage.
