Corsham Road, Whitley, Wiltshire, SN12

Located in the heart of Whitley and situated on approximately 0.5 acres, this four-bedroom detached family home has been modernised by the current owners to create a charming period cottage with a modern interior, large garden, garage and plentiful driveway parking. 

As you enter the property you are greeted by a spacious central entrance hall which gives access to the extended ground floor accommodation and staircase to the first floor. The entrance combines tiled flooring with wooden beams and column radiators retaining the cottage’s period character. To contrast this, the current owners have extended to create a sizeable open plan kitchen-diner / family room which truly is the heart of the home. Measuring 22’ 4” x 21’ 3”, the kitchen benefits from fully fitted wall and base ‘shaker style’ units with Quartz work tops and Belfast sink, freestanding Rangemaster oven, an island with breakfast bar as well as bi-fold doors leading out to the garden. With a south-westerly aspect, the kitchen-diner / family room benefits from natural light throughout the day and is large enough for a freestanding dining table as well as a cosy seating area with a wood burner and space for an L-shape sofa. Returning to the original cottage, tiled flooring continues from the hallway into the dual aspect sitting room. Home to a second woodburner with Bath Stone surround, the sitting room makes for a great space to enjoy during the evening and winter months. Beyond the sitting room, a second reception room measures 13’ 6” x 8’ 5” and could be used in a number of ways. Currently utilised as a playroom, there is potential for this to be become a ‘work from home’ office, or ground floor spare bedroom. To complete the ground floor, a generous utility room provides further storage and space for a host of freestanding appliances, as well as access to the ground floor WC. 

Stairs to the first-floor lead to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom enjoys dual aspect views over the gardens and benefits from built-in wardrobes and a modern ensuite shower room. Bedroom two also enjoys views over the front aspect whilst bedrooms three and four are currently used as generous children’s bedrooms. To complete the first floor, the family bathroom has been updated to include a modern white suite with bath and overhead shower. 

Externally, the property sits on approximately 0.5 acres and enjoys relative privacy from neighboring properties. The garden is perfect for families with a large lawn for children to play in, whilst mature trees, raised beds and flower borders add a splash of colour. A patio area accessed via bi-fold doors from the kitchen provides ample space for al-fresco dining whilst a single garage could be developed to create a home studio or office, if required. Gated access from the road keeps the plot enclosed, and a gravel driveway with turning area provides parking for multiple vehicles. Subject to planning permission, there is plenty of space to potentially develop a car port / larger garage with guest accommodation. 

Whitley is a highly sought after village with a real sense of community spirit. It has a good range of local facilities which include an excellent primary school, the Pear Tree Inn pub, village Cafe, a church, village hall, golf course, and it is surrounded by absolutely beautiful countryside. Also the historic towns of Corsham, Melksham and the Georgian heritage city of Bath are all within a short drive. Whitley has excellent bus links with all of the above towns making it a village which is still very accessible.
