House For Sale £1,350,000
Originally the farmhouse of a dairy farm, Grade II listed Lagard House stands detached within substantial grounds, including a south-facing part-walled garden, a pond, two small paddocks, an additional self-contained dwelling used as a holiday let, and ample parking. Situated in the picturesque village of Whitley this three-bedroom period home boasts a remarkable sense of space and captivating countryside views. The owners express, ‘aside from it being a stunning house, we were first attracted to the property’s overall character and vast size.’ They have maintained the property excellently, enhancing its appeal by converting the old stables into a successful three-bedroom holiday let. ‘Interestingly, Jennifer Saunders stabled her pony here when she attended a local school, and also stayed in the house during her school years, something she mentions in her autobiography.’ Laid out over two floors the house has a rustic and comfortable charm about it, with three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and well-arranged living rooms with beams, wooden floors and feature fireplaces downstairs. A contemporary Shaker style kitchen with a striking red AGA and Velux windows acts as hub of the house while a cellar keeps refreshments cool. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, yet conveniently located to access several towns and cities – Bath is just twenty minutes by car, and London is 70 minutes by train from Chippenham, a mere ten minutes away – living here offers the best of both worlds.
‘Whitley is a very friendly village with the local pub, The Pear Tree, renowned for its delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and great comedy nights.’
‘Our neighbours are like family; although we've only known each other for eight years, it feels like forever. They are genuinely the perfect people to live next door to!’
‘Beautiful Corsham, Lacock, and Bradford on Avon are nearby, and there is a good local bus service to Bath.’
‘There’s a golf course and driving range at the end of the road, also home to the village cricket team.’
‘The area is well-known for its excellent schools, especially Stonar.’
‘The garden is simply stunning and large enough to host a big party with a marquee. We have secure car parking for ten cars, ensuring there’s always plenty of room for guests.’
‘It will be difficult to leave such a stunning and spacious home with perfect neighbours, but as it’s just the two of us here now, it’s time to let another family enjoy it.’
