Devizes Road, Box, Corsham, SN13 8EQ

Located in an enviable position in the heart of Box, this three-bedroom, detached Victorian home is ready to move straight into yet benefits from a large garage and driveway, generous garden, and scope to extend to add further internal accommodation and value (subject to consents).

As you enter the property you are greeted by a central entrance vestibule which gives access to the ground floor accommodation. Overlooking the front aspect are two good-sized reception rooms, each benefitting from feature fireplaces with Bath Stone surrounds, bespoke joinery including built in cupboards and shelving, and Herringbone flooring. Each reception room offers flexibility in their usage; however, the current owners have one as a formal sitting room and the other as a snug / playroom which in turn gives access to the kitchen-diner / family room.

The kitchen has been recently updated and comprises of fully fitted wall and base units with wooden work tops, a Belfast sink with views over Colerne Village, and space for a freestanding dining table. The kitchen benefits from a host of integrated appliances which include a fridge freezer and dishwasher as well space for a freestanding oven. Accessed from the kitchen is a rear lobby which benefits from further storage, a spacious ground floor WC with space for a washer / dryer, as well as external access to the garden. Subject to consents, there is scope to extend the property to provide further internal accommodation with access to the garden, if desired.  

Stairs to the first-floor lead to all three bedrooms, comprising of two double bedrooms and one large single bedroom. Both double bedrooms are positioned overlooking the front aspect and offer ample space to include a King-size bed and storage space. The third bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property and benefits from views over countryside and the garden courtesy of its dual aspect windows. There is space for a small double bed, yet this room would equally make a fantastic children’s bedroom / nursery or ‘work from home’ office. To complete the first floor, the family bathroom comprises of a modern white suite with bath and overhead shower.

Externally, the property sits in a desirable position in the heart of Box. The garden is mostly positioned to the side of the cottage and has been tiered to create a level area for children to play and for entertaining. Mostly laid to lawn with a patio for al-fresco, the garden catches the sun throughout the day whilst the far corner remains elevated to enjoys views towards Colerne Village. Off street parking is accessible via a five-bar gate where there is driveway parking for multiple vehicles. On top of this, the garage measures a spacious 23’ x 14’ 3” and benefits from a electric roller door and power and lighting.

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.
