Westlands Lane, Whitley

Property Description

Location, potential and uniqueness all set in a semi rural spot with countryside views. This will be a bit of a project house for someone and the options to extend further into the loft, out to the side or just simply improve it's current interior design. (All subject to planning of course). This well loved family home has come to the market for the first time since it was built and offers superb opportunity for someone to create their forever home too.

Set back from Westlands Lane, this home is approached via a wide gravel driveway offering parking for several cars and is framed by hedgerow and spring planting. As you enter the front door a wide hallway with large dining or playroom open plan to the left gives a great sense of space and light. This could be a fantastic 2nd reception room or with a bit of tweaking, a further bedroom. The other side of the hall is the more formal sitting room with wide window to the front and side throwing in loads of light, and focal fireplace. Large enough for most modern seating but small enough to feel cosy as you enjoy a hot chocolate by the fire. Downstairs still and a double bedroom complete with built in wardrobe and garden views offers flexible sleeping options or future proofing for this property. Conveniently located alongside is the family bathroom which is spacious and has a shower over the bath, and heated towel rail. The generous kitchen/breakfast room has a country vibe, with double oven, integrated dishwasher, and space for a washing machine. You could easily fit a smaller table in the centre of the room to enjoy quick meals or a cup of tea! Off the kitchen is a useful utiilty/boot room with a stable door taking you out onto the garden. 

Upstairs via an open plan wooden staircase, there are two similar sized bedrooms and an expansive loft storage area. Potentially, there could be the possibility of extending further into this space to create an en suite or a further room. (Subject to planning of course). The options to extend further into the loft, out to the side or rear all exist, but you could simply take this well laid out home and give it a bit of a cosmetic overhaul. The views to the front are far reaching over open countryside. 

The back garden is a real delight and is a surprisingly large garden that stretches out in front of you. A large patio area next to the property includes a covered pagoda area, and a set of steps take you up to a more elevated area, where you will find a good sized lawn, framed by mature trees and shrubs and various outbuildings including a large workshop and further sheds. The real surprise is the swimming pool. Used as recently as last year, there is a pump room outbuilding and pool cover in place. Surrounded by mature trees, this garden has a wonderful woodland feel to it and is incredibly private. A small children's play section is also set to one side and there are plenty of hidden corners to explore or build a den. This garden once included a cascading water feature and this could be brought back to it's former glory. With the warmer summers now, this could be your own garden hideaway and kids dream play space. 

Situated at the Whitley village end of Westlands Lane, this property is just over 1/2 mile walk to the renowned Pear tree Inn, community led village shop (under construction) , Sprockets cafe and bike shop, golf and cricket club, Shaw C of E primary school and church. In addition there are far reaching countryside walks in every direction. Perfect for long dog walks and time to escape the bustle of life. The bus service through the village to Corsham. Melksham and Bath is regular (roughly every hour) and at access to the A350 and M4 beyond provides excellent transport links.
