The Ley, Box

Offered for sale with no onward chain, and extremely rare to the market, this fantastic individual property was designed and built by a respected local builder. Enjoying a stunning position in the sought after village of Box, just 6 miles from the World Heritage City of Bath, the property is set in a plot of around 1/3 of an acre, and offers approx. 2400 sq ft of versatile, split-level accommodation which can be arranged in a variety of ways depending on whether 2 or 3 bedrooms are required. The current owners have been using the third double bedroom as a dining room, but it could easily be returned to use as a bedroom if required. In its current set-up, there are FOUR reception rooms plus a study, 2 double bedrooms and 2 stunning bathrooms with heated floors and mirrors.

The house is a private hidden gem, tucked away from busy roads and enjoying gorgeous views over the magnificent gardens with its water feature, the idyllic village of Box and across to the stunning By Brook valley.

A property that must be viewed to be appreciated, it has been designed with a light & airy feel and offers flexibility with a number of living spaces that could be used in plenty of different ways. Added bonuses include a sauna, solar panels which provide electrical power to the house as well as heating the water, and a rear balcony, perfectly positioned to enjoy the magnificent views. There are two large undercroft basements which provide a massive storage area as well as a work bench, power, light, a toilet, and a sink.
Plans have also been drawn for an extension, which would create an additional bedroom with en-suite.

The property offers the extremely rare commodity of TWO double garages. The first garage is accessible from within the house and has a window to the rear and an electric double garage door to the front. It has been internally clad to make it a useable year-round room if required and features a useful work bench along with power & light and water supply and could easily be turned into living accommodation. The second double garage is detached and set to the front of the property, it has a double door to the front, and window to the side and rear, and also benefits from power and electric lighting. There is also a car-charging point to the main garage.

Set in the heart of this thriving village, which has a strong community spirit, a garden gate gives you easy walking access to the local primary school, library and recreational area plus local amenities that include a shop, post office, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, hairdressers, 2 delightful cafés, takeaway, gym, fitness classes and a choice of public houses.
Box is located on the outskirts of Corsham (voted one of the top places to live in the UK by the Sunday Times) within the southern Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nearby footpaths lead to the countryside and woodland walks, whilst as previously mentioned, the Georgian City of Bath is just 6 miles away. There are also excellent transportation links to London and Bristol via the M4 motorway junctions 17 & 18 and a high-speed rail service to London from nearby Chippenham (just over an hour to London Paddington) as well as a regular bus service into Bath. Box also benefits from a coach service direct into Heathrow and London Victoria. Box residents are known for their friendliness and creativity who host popular local events such as the famous Box Revels village fete and the Box music festival.

Few properties give you the opportunity to paddle in a stream, which is the source of the water feature mentioned earlier, at the bottom of your garden, pick apples from the established old apple tree, and watch the squirrels play. The property is within a few minutes' walk of bluebell woods, and the By Brook river where you will often spot swans with their cygnets.
