Hilmarton, Calne, SN11

Downwind is a handsome detached early twentieth century period home which has been beautifully renovated and upgraded to create an inviting family home. Tall ceilings and a neutral colour scheme throughout as well as a stunning Oak framed extension make this an appealing country property. Formerly two properties knocked through into one, this beautiful property now has all the benefits of modern day living which complement the attractive exposed walls and floor.

The porch leads to the main entrance hall where on one side there is a dual aspect dining room with ornate caste iron fire place and on the other side a double length dual aspect sitting room with central stone open fire. The kitchen is beautifully appointed and offers an array of shaker style cupboards with central breakfast island which has an induction hob and oven below. Sleek granite worktops and a cream coloured AGA complete this look. Beyond the kitchen there is utility room with door to outside, useful cupboards, butlers sink and space and plumbing for a washing machine; this is set alongside a pantry.

An open plan family room leads into a smart Oak framed garden room which overlooks both the garden and neighbouring fields. These connecting rooms provide ideal areas for simply relaxing. A cloakroom completes the downstairs.

On the first floor the main bedroom is a luxurious suite which enjoys a wall of wardrobes, views to the front and side and a shower room with twin sinks and a wonderful exposed stone wall. There are three further beautifully decorated bedrooms, two of which have integral wardrobes and a family bathroom.
