Whitley Village

A rare opportunity to move to Top Lane in Whitley, with a non estate location backing onto open fields and paddocks behind! A generously sized 3 double bedroom bungalow which has been kept up to date with a modern kitchen, spacious sleek shower room, double glazing and stunning glass roofed conservatory, All you need to do is change colours and furnishings to your tastes! As you enter the property there is a generous glazed porch before opening through the main door and into the main hallway. This spacious hall, with beautiful wood parquet flooring, also has the benefit of a large double coats cupboard in addition to another storage cupboard. Such a bonus to have so much storage for coats, shoes and bags!

The light filled sitting room has a lovely cosy feel with a large fireplace with inset gas fire and double doors which can slide across or open up into a great sized dining room. There is plenty of room for large sofa seating in the sitting room and the dining room also doesn't disappoint with space enough for a large table and dresser units. French doors open out onto the garden and patio area for those warmer days. The modern shaker style kitchen can be accessed from both the dining room and the hallway. A well appointed room with a wide range of storage units, along with a large larder cupboard/pantry. There is space for a small table, if required, and the cooking facilities comprise of an eye level double oven and 5 ring gas hob and a window above the sink allows you to see the views at the rear. From the kitchen the door takes you through to the most lovely conservatory overlooking the garden and countryside views beyond. A fabulous specification room, complete with radiator heating, a light/ heat reflecting glass roof, tiled floor and double doors opening out onto the patio. The perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea and relax.

The 3 excellent bedrooms are set on the right hand side of the property with the first and potentially the main bedroom just off the hall towards the front and offers excellent space for large double bed and storage wardrobes. A further hallway takes you to bedroom 2 and 3, both of which are doubles and lovely and bright. The 2nd bedroom overlooks the rear garden and open views and could also make a fabulous master bedroom with a small double/generous single room set off to the side. All rooms offer plenty of room for freestanding wardrobes as well as the beds. Serving all 3 rooms is a re fitted modern shower room with a very generous shower cubicle, vanity units with inset basin and concealed cistern. Overall a modern room with heated towel rail and chrome fittings. 

Externally, and the size of this plot is also unusual for a property of this type with a superb sized level rear garden, framed with low maintenance flower borders and a large patio spanning the width of the property, which is perfect for a large garden table and chairs. Low boundaries in fence or hedging keep that feeling of space and the open post and rail fencing to the back allows you to enjoy the views of the horses grazing in the paddocks behind. In addition there is a brick built garden store attached to the side of the garage and a concrete base on the rear boundary is ready and waiting for another outbuilding. This could be the perfect space for a workshop, summer house or external office cabin. Just imagine working or relaxing whilst enjoying those views onto the fields. Perfect! 

To the front and the theme of space continues with a long block paved driveway leading to a generous garage with an electric car charging port on the side of the property ready to easily charge your electric car. If that wasn't enough room, the front garden has now been laid to gravel allowing for parking for numerous more vehicles and even a motor home if required!  Framed by a mature hedge and shrubs, the location on Top Lane is perfect.

Just a short stroll across the road and the village phone box library offers reading material, the bus stops to Bath or Melksham are a 5 minute stroll as is the local Spindles bike and coffee shop, which also now sells some essentials until the village community shop opens up again (expected May 2024). Buses currently run through the village on an hourly basis to Bath or Melksham and Devizes with another service to Corsham which can be picked up on the Corsham road .The fabulous Pear Tree Inn is again just a few minutes away with it's beautiful gardens and excellent food. Pop your boots on and just a 15 minute stroll across the fields on the opposite side of Top Lane will bring you out just up the road from the Lowden farm shop, garden centre and restaurant. In addition the italian restaurant of Il Vello D'Oro is just opposite Lowden ! If you like walking, there are countryside walks from your doorstep for miles around, ranging from a jaunt to Whitley woods or a further trek out to Neston and beyond ! Any 4 legged family members will be happy and all local establishments are dog friendly making it easy to pop in for a quick drink and bite to eat en route. 

Shaw village is right on the edge of Whitley and offers a great primary school in Shaw C of E school, with the church alongside with it's stunning steeple. The Shaw golf and cricket club is also in this area, just a 10 minute walk away, and there are village halls within both Shaw and Whitley offering a variety of events and classes. 

The location of Whitley village is set between Corsham with it's 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 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.
