Atworth Village

Property Description

What can I say? I am privileged to have been asked to market this property for the first time in over 50 years. This excellent 3 bedroom bungalow sits within its own spacious plot and offers its new owners the opportunity to put their own stamp on it and continue to love it as much as the previous owners have. The property has been well maintained over the years but now some cosmetic updating may be in order. However, you could move in and decide how to make it your own over time. 

On entering the property you first go through the double-glazed spacious porch which offers an excellent place to drop off coats and shoes. The main hallway opens up to a fabulous wide entrance. It is believed that there is a parquet floor waiting to be uncovered, evidence of which can be seen in the useful cupboard. The living room is a light and bright space with 2 large windows throwing in loads of light and a central fireplace with an inset gas fire. Across the rear of the property is a large kitchen/breakfast room and separate dining room. The kitchen is a fantastic size with plenty of room for a small table, a large window overlooking the garden, and a door out onto the patio. The units are of a 60/70s style which although in great order, you may choose to change and I'm sure some buyers will be itching to knock through to the dining room and create a fabulous area as they upgrade. If you prefer a more formal dining room then leave it all as it is and enjoy the great space with patio doors out onto the garden. The choice is yours. 

The 3 bedrooms are all located to one side of the house which is lovely to give that element of separation from the living areas. All 3 could accommodate a double bed with a choice of whether you are overlooking the garden to the front or the rear. The larger 2 rooms have plenty of space for wardrobes and the 3rd would make a perfect study/occasional bedroom. The front bedroom also benefits from sound insulating glass which is incredibly effective. There is also a generous shower room and a separate WC. 

The really big attraction to this property is the large plot it sits within. Set in an elevated position, the approach to the bungalow has a resin driveway with space for around 6 cars. If you had a camper van, there would be more than enough room with lots of spare spaces for day-to-day parking. A single garage, with light and power is also available and could be a fabulous workshop. 

The gardens wrap all the way from the formal front borders, lawn area and rockery with tumbling plants. There is access to both sides and a large area with vegetable plots written all over them. The rear garden is a super size with a generous level lawn, mature flower borders, a patio area, a shed and even more space that has also been used as a vegetable or flower border before. The garden is well maintained and is looking for a happy gardener as its new owner who will potter for hours out here and keep it flourishing for more years to come. A true gardener's dream but a manageable size for most!

Chapel Rise is located in the heart of Atworth village with all amenities close to hand. Atworth has its own post office and small convenience shop within the Bear garage, a popular pub in the White Hart, coffee and cake cafe at 3 Bears Bakes which is behind the sought-after Farm Nursery. A short drive along to Shaw and the very popular Lowden garden centre offers the perfect place to stock up on plants and homewares but also has a well-stocked farm shop and superb restaurant/cafe. There are other choices of nursery/pre-school close by and also a very well-regarded village school. The bus routes into Bath, Melksham, or Devizes run frequently through the village, so public transport opens up many options for shopping or socialising. The local village hall offers classes and clubs including a popular Yoga class. Located on the edge of Neston Farm estate, there are an abundance of countryside walks right on your doorstep where you can say hello to the Jersey cows, the geese at Purlpit, or the deer at dusk. A truly fantastic village with so much to offer.
