Ashwicke Road, Ashwicke, SN14

This Grade II Listed home is full of charm and period detail. Once a Coaching Inn it now provides relaxed family living with a stylish interior design enhanced by period features. A major addition is an oak frame extension housing a bespoke kitchen and dining room. Tall A-framed beams and a wall of glass allows the light to pour in. The kitchen was designed by Plain English and includes an Aga and a central island, with plenty of room for a large dining table in front of the double doors opening directly out to the garden. Adjacent is a spacious sitting room with beamed ceiling and fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove. The dual aspect looks over the garden and the nearby fields. The original central hall is flanked by a study and a snug. The drawing room is another smart reception room whilst on a practical note, there is a spacious boot room/utility. The six bedrooms are all well-proportioned and are served by three modern bathrooms. Far reaching views from all aspects add to the appeal.

Outside

To the side of the house is a vehicular entrance providing a fantastic space for cars and storage in an open stone barn. Adjacent is a further stone outbuilding currently used as a game’s room/gym. Both could be refurbished and re-purposed subject to needs and the relevant permissions. A gate leads to the Pennant stone terrace that runs the length of the house and provides plenty of space for dining with doors opening from two sides of the kitchen making entertaining a breeze. The main lawn is level and enclosed by walling and hedging. A wide herbaceous border divides the upper garden bordered by low hedging and trees to keep the open aspect across neighbouring farmland. All in 1 acre.

Situation

Ashwicke is a hamlet surrounded by woodland and open farmland although only 5 miles from Bath. Located on the edge of The Cotswolds, this picturesque region is famous for its rolling hills and charming villages. Ashwicke has the benefit of being in the middle of two such villages, Marshfield and Colerne. Both have excellent facilities which include country pubs, doctors’ surgeries, convenience shops, and coffee/tea shops. Lucknam Park, a luxury five-star hotel and spa is also close by. There is a choice of schools, as both villages have the benefit of well-regarded primary schools and there is easy access to the schools north of Bath including Kingswood School and The Royal High School. With these amenities on your doorstep, but just a short drive to Bath, this is an ideal location. The area is also conveniently placed for access to Bristol with Junction 17 of the M4, 15 minutes’ drive away (according to Google Maps). Commuters to London have the choice of the motorway or train journeys with Bath Spa Railway Station as well as Chippenham (London, Paddington just 1 hour 10 minutes).
