Lanhill, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN14

Offered to the market with no onward chain, No.2 Lodge Cottages exists as one half of a beautiful old lodge house which is positioned amid beautiful mature gardens and rolling countryside close to Chippenham & Corsham. Currently offering homely and welcoming accommodation partnered with a sensible existing layout, this property comes complete with planning permission to substantially re-arrange and extend the ground floor to create a smarter layout and drastically increase the square footage and overall value, should someone desire to alter the layout in due course.

Presently, the ground floor comprises of a well-proportioned sitting / dining room which flows through to the kitchen that in turn leads through a handy downstairs cloakroom / utility room with a W.C, sink, boiler, and space for additional appliances. Whilst currently providing welcoming and comfortable space in which to live, there are existing approved plans with make way for the ground floor to encapsulate a spacious breakfast room / separate formal dining room, as well as a large open-plan kitchen / dining / family room and a better equipped utility room with separate cloakroom / W.C. Both of these newly proposed reception rooms will benefit from plenty of large windows to allow the light to pass through this stylish space and to give an even more impressive view of the garden, and both of these rooms will also have direct access out onto the garden via the patio doors. The upstairs layout will remain as it is according to the existing plans, where currently an airy landing provides access to the loft space and to the two well-proportioned bedrooms, both of which offer the occupier a lovely open vista of the changing countryside to enjoy through the seasons. The first floor also supports a fair-sized bathroom that benefits from plenty of natural light.

Externally, the driveway and access at the front is shared with No.1 Lodge Cottages. The generous level gardens can be found adjacent, wrapping predominantly around the front, side and a little to the rear of this home. Comprising of a generous expanse of lawn, this garden is bordered by mature hedgerows, small trees, and pretty flowers and plant life to help create a feeling of privacy and seclusion within, and much like the rest of the house it offers exciting potential to become the ideal subject for ones own design and style. Owing to the unobscured Southerly, Westerly, and Easterly boundaries that border this wonderful level plot, the garden can often be found benefitting from direct sunlight throughout the day.
