Devizes Road, Box, Corsham, Wiltshire, SN13

NO ONWARD CHAIN – Located in the popular village of Box complete with generous gardens, plentiful off-street parking, and potential to develop (subject to planning permission), this three-bedroom detached period property would make an ideal family home. 

As you enter the property you are greeted by a central entrance lobby which gives access to the ground floor accommodation and stairs to the first floor. Overlooking the front aspect there are two reception rooms of similar size. Both rooms benefit from feature fireplaces and double glazed sash windows combining period character with modern creature comforts such as hardwood flooring and spotlights. The sitting room flows neatly into the formal dining room which in turn leads to the sunroom at the rear. With bi-fold doors that open out to the garden and with a south-westerly aspect providing natural light throughout the day, the sunroom makes for a room that can be enjoyed throughout the year. 

The kitchen currently overlooks the rear garden and comprises of fully fitted wall and base units, wooden work tops and space for a host of integrated appliances. Further to the kitchen, a separate utility room gives home to a freestanding washing machine and tumble dryer as well as access to a generous integral garage. Subject to relevant consents, there is potential to create a modern open-plan ‘L-Shaped’ kitchen-diner /family room with views over the garden, if desired. 

Stairs to the first floor give access to all three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The current layout offers flexibility in its uses, with two generous double bedrooms overlooking the front with far reaching views over the Bybrook Valley. One bedroom to the front benefits from an extension to create a spacious dressing area with multiple built in wardrobes and a useful study space. With reconfiguration, there is potential to create an impressive master suite with ensuite bathroom too. Both bedroom two and bedroom three are ample double bedrooms, with bedroom three (currently used as the master) benefitting from an ensuite with rolltop bath and separate shower, as well as views over the rear garden via the Juliet Balcony. To complete the first floor, the family bathroom is of a timeless design with shortened bath with overhead shower.

Externally, a hedge and front lawn separate the property from Devizes Road and off-street parking is available either side of the cottage courtesy of a generous garage and car port. The rear garden has been meticulously maintained by the current owner with a mixture of established plants adding colour, hedges to aid privacy, and a level lawn for children to enjoy. Further to this there are multiple seating areas to enjoy the sun throughout the day as well as a useful garden shed and greenhouse. Finally a garden summerhouse / studio makes for the perfect spot to enjoy the garden all year round and would also make a great 'work from home' office with power lighting and heating already in situ. 

The village of Box is home to an outstanding junior school as well as St. Thomas's church, a library and several recreational grounds and playing fields which host a range of different sporting events and clubs. There are several local pubs which serve good traditional food that have built up an excellent reputation over the years, such as the Quarryman’s Arms, The Northey Arms and The Queens Head, and for those who prefer something different, the ever-popular 'Bengal Bear'. Community and outdoor life here is thriving with an abundance of local walks and bike rides on the doorstep, with several cafes along the way. Further local amenities include a village hall, children’s nursery, youth club, a post office and well-stocked village store, along with a doctor’s surgery, a pharmacy, and a bowling green. The Georgian City of Bath is located 6 miles to the West, providing year-round entertainment, excellent shopping, art galleries, and a theatre. Bristol International airport is also less than a 25 mile drive away, meaning that this property is very well connected. There is also a very handy bus service that connects to Bath and Devizes with various stops in between, as well as a direct bus to Chippenham with its mainline Railway Station which links to Cardiff, Bristol and London Paddington. The National Express to London Victoria also stops within easy walking distance, making a day trip to London from your doorstep easily accessible.
