Ashley Close, Whitley village

What a super option if you are looking for a 2 bedroom bungalow in the heart of Whitley village! Set in the quiet cul de sac of Ashley Close, this excellent property is a great option for downsizers and first time buyers alike. Everything is presented in a clean and tidy and ready to move into whilst putting your own stamp on the decoration.

The front door opens into the L-shaped hallway where there is space for coats and shoes, a useful inset bookcase/shelving and airing cupboard.

The accommodation is surprisingly spacious and starts with the bright Living/dining room. What I really like about this room is that it is clear where the sitting and dining areas can be created with a pretty marble fireplace with a gas fire creating a focal point for the sofas. The dining end is closest to the kitchen is large enough for a dresser as well as a dining table which can be extended for those large family gatherings. The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of units with integrated fridge and freezer along with a single oven and hob. The plumbing for the washing machine can be found in the utility space behind the garage just a short few steps away. A perfectly formed kitchen designed with ease of use in mind. 

From the kitchen there is a very generous conservatory overlooking the garden and is perfect as a summer garden room where you can enjoy the views across the private space on a sunny day. Big enough for sofas and a breakfast table, this room adds great flexibility of spaces in this property. 

The main bedroom is set towards the front and is a very good double bedroom with a range of built in wardrobes and side cabinets along with a further shelved cupboard. The large window throws in loads of light and this continues throughout the property. The 2nd bedroom is just across the hall and is also a double room and benefits from a built in wardrobe for storage. The large window overlooks the garden so a lovely outlook for your guests. Both rooms are served by a spacious shower room where an expansive range of vanity units are inset with a sink, concealed cistern  with a large shower cubicle situated opposite. 

To the rear is a really lovely, private garden which is not overlooked at all. A perfect size to be big enough to have some gardening still to do without being so large that it becomes a chore. Step out of the conservatory onto a patio area, and walk over to the rear door into the garage or the side gate back to the front. A nice manageable lawn is framed by mature shrubs and borders. The West facing aspect means that you will have some nice areas of cool shade in the heat of the day and can enjoy a tipple in the evening sun. Access to the front is available both sides of the property and brings you back to a lovely front garden space with 2 areas of lawn , mature shrubs and trees and an expansive driveway. To one side there is so much space, you could even fit the shed in here and still leave enough space for several cars. The single garage also provides parking or storage in addition to the utility area. 

Located in the quiet heart of Whitley village, this bungalow is around 0.3 miles from all the amenities. Unusually for a small village, there is lots going on with 2 options for churches, a local village shop where you can volunteer if you have some spare time(due to open shortly), a cafe and excellent pub in The Pear Tree Inn. A popular school is close by at Shaw with a golf and cricket club close by. The renowned Lowden garden centre, farm shop and restaurant is around a mile away and you can even cut across the fields to buy your Sunday joint on a sunny day.  Even better, a regular bus service to Bath, Corsham, Melksham and Devizes picks up on roughly an hourly basis. Local village halls in both Whitley and Shaw offer a variety of activities from Yoga to Qigong or simply meet up with friends for a coffee of hot chocolate at the warm space or the Sprockets cafe. 

Situated between Corsham and Melksham, Whitley has the best of both worlds when choosing a quaint town centre to visit. Melksham offers every supermarket from Aldi to Waitrose, whilst Corsham offers a wide variety of independent shops and eateries. On a Thursday, hop on the bus to Devizes where an excellent farmers market is held. Transport links are easily available with good access to the A350 , M4 and routes into Bath and beyond. The rail network has a station at Melksham where trains can take you for some shopping in Swindon or change for more to London and Bath/Bristol, You can even jump on a train for a day trip to the coast at the weekend. 

Countryside surrounds Whitley village and there is a fantastic network of footpaths and cycleways to use. Perfect for walking the dog straight from your front door, or a longer walk over to Neston or Atworth. For the more energetic, the cycle routes pass through the village which is why we also have a cycle shop where you can grab everything from a puncture repair kit through to a new bike. There is even a bike repair and service option along with a village physiotherapy.
