Whitley village

Property Description

This a rare opportunity to purchase a home in this popular village at this price range! Having been totally gutted and renovated in recent years, this home now offers a wonderful 3-bedroom home complete with modern styling and excellent energy efficiency. Keeping a contemporary country style, this home is sure to appeal to many buyers. 

Starting as you walk up to the front door, the option for an external porch is in place, but with such a lovely-sized hall inside, you may decide it's not necessary. The hallway opens up with space for a storage unit and with heated flooring throughout downstairs, your feet will keep toasty warm. The good-sized comfortable sitting room comes complete with a log burner and offers the perfect place to relax. Towards the rear, the house opens up into a wonderful kitchen/dining room with a high-specification finish of quartz worktops over modern units. A wide breakfast bar offers a great place for a quick bite to eat and a dining room area offers plenty of room for a decent-sized table. A single door opens up onto the garden where the footings and planning for an extension exist for you to continue with or save for another day. Simply top off the footings with a raised deck and you can come back to adding the garden room later. The kitchen appliances include a twin eye-level oven, a Wide induction hob, a built-in microwave, and an integrated dishwasher along with a large understairs cupboard. In addition the underhung sink also benefits from a water softener and waste disposal unit. This then opens through to the large utility room which has tons of storage, along with space for a washing machine, tumble drier, and a door through to the modern downstairs WC. All conveniently offer direct access to the garden through the side door, so you can clean off muddy dogs and boots after a long countryside walk. 

Upstairs and the light bright landing gives access to the 3 bedrooms. 2 are excellent double rooms with an additional generous single. Both double rooms come with recessed areas which would be perfect to build in wardrobes if desired. The smaller of the 3 includes a single low cabin bed which has been built over the stair bulkhead, making the best use of space and leaving plenty of room for a desk or further storage. This room would also make an excellent work from home space with views toward fields. A newly refitted bathroom offers a bath with a shower above, a heated towel rail, and a basin with a vanity unit below. Conveniently, the toilet is located in a separate room, which overcomes the need for queues waiting in a busy household. 

Outside and a pretty and private garden awaits with a newly seeded lawn, log store, and new fencing to the side, Gravelled areas for seating are already in place to the side and the rear of the garden to make sure you catch the sun throughout the day. A small wildlife pond is a lovely feature and the garden is framed by new fencing and hedgerows. Directly outside the dining room door are the concrete footings for a garden room extension which gives you the option to continue with the build or top it off with decking or paving and create another seating area. Conveniently, there is access to the garage via a personnel door and a side gate brings you back to the front. Here a newly seeded front lawn is taking hold and a gravel driveway provides space for 2 cars. 

Whitley village offers a great primary school in Shaw C of E school, next door to the church which features a stunning steeple. The Shaw Golf and cricket club is also in this area, just a short walk away, and there are village halls within both Shaw and Whitley offering a variety of events and classes. Who can forget the popular "Pear Tree Inn" on Top lane which is opposite the Spindles bike shop and cafe. The shop also offers essentials whilst the community-led convenience store is relocating within the village. All this is right on your doorstep along with miles and miles of countryside walks for lovers of the outdoors. Whitley village is set between Corsham with its picturesque high street, independent shops, arts centre, and wandering peacocks, and the slightly bigger town of Melksham with every supermarket from Aldi to Waitrose on offer. Both towns now offer a superb "Community campus" which offers a swimming pool, gym, and classes along with a full library, cafe, and meeting rooms. Transport links by road offer easy access to the M4 at Chippenham J17 or Bath J18 and the A350 if you are heading south to the coast. Rail links are from Melksham to Swindon or travel a little further to the mainline station of Chippenham, With so much on your doorstep and easily accessible, yet set within a country village location, it's easy to see why Whitley is such a sought-after area.
