"We will miss living in this older property with lots of character and period features. The garden room is one of our favourite rooms and we have loved sitting on the outdoor terrace with the evening sun. You can enjoy the sunshine throughout the day as it is always shining somewhere! We have enjoyed being a part of the village community, we have been active members of the tennis club, and there is a cricket club and bowls club too, plus the friendly local pub. There are great play areas for the children too. It is believed to be the first property built in Chippenham being a bakery for many years, including a shop and post office. We have upgraded security with the addition of electric remote control gates and a new burglar alarm system, updated all the bathrooms, installed a wood burner, and installed a new heating boiler. We are moving to be nearer to our family."
