Whitley Village

A stunning house , much larger than expected in so many ways and set in a quiet location within the ever popular village of Whitley. This isn't just any 3 bedroom property, this one is an excellent size and also offers an opportunity to extend over the garage (STPP) in time if desired. Set on a large corner plot, there is a good amount of front garden with a gated path winding to the front door. At this point you step into a useful porch where shoes and boots can be stored away, and then onward into the spacious hallway. There is a beautiful Living room at the rear which is flooded with sunlight and has wrap around garden views. With French doors out onto the garden, this is the perfect place to relax whatever the weather. With a gorgeous stone fireplace and inset fire, when it is really cold outside you can cosy up and enjoy a hot drink. The kitchen and dining room are both a great size and located to the front alongside each other. Both very well presented with a modern shaker style kitchen, and fresh worktops, this can offer a great option for those who like to keep a formal dining room, which could also be a playroom, especially as you can see the kids via the serving hatch. Alternatively, longer term you could combine the 2 rooms if you wish. From the kitchen you have a direct doorway into the wider and longer than average garage, which also includes a utility area for the washing machine and tumble dryer. Lastly, downstairs there is a beautifully re-fitted cloakroom with modern suite and vanity units. 

Upstairs and the space continues with 3 double bedrooms. The main bedroom overlooks the gardens and also has a large built in wardrobe as well as lots of light from the dual aspect windows. The 2nd bedroom is also a great size double bedroom and again, has two windows and plenty of room for freestanding storage too. The 3rd bedroom is also a double bedroom and is currently used as a study and dressing room. The kids won't be arguing about who gets the little room in this home! Lastly, the main family bathroom has recently been re-fitted and now offers a superb luxury, large shower cubicle and contemporary fittings including vanity units.

The garden to the rear is a delight which wraps around the property and offers an area for a greenhouse, a seating area, large lawn with flower beds as borders with mature trees and shrubs maintaining an already private and relaxing space.  A 2nd patio area is set just outside of the French doors which open from the living room and as the sun travels around the garden throughout the day, there are plenty of options for a bench to sit and enjoy the fresh air and a cup of coffee. A side gate brings you back to the front where a further area of lawn and flower borders can be enjoyed. A useful garden store is also built in the rear of the garage with access from a door in the garden. 

The garage which is set to the side, is 22ft long and wider than average at 12ft, offers an additional personnel door to the front and a single door at the rear giving access to the garden. With the washing appliances plumbing just inside the garage from the kitchen door, this gives a great space as a utility area and could be further sub divided if required. Overall there is plenty of room for a workbench, storing family bikes as well as the car. To the front is further parking on the driveway and a large area of front lawn trimmed with flower borders. 

There is a huge opportunity to extend to the side over the garage (subject to planning) which would give options to create a 4 bedroom , even larger family home in time. 

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 just a few minutes away with it's beautiful gardens and excellent food. Pop your boots on and a stroll across the fields 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.
