Kingsdown, Corsham, Wiltshire, SN13

Nestled within the hamlet of Kingsdown which sits elevated and adjacent to Box between Bath and Corsham, this detached contemporary home sits in glorious country gardens with far-reaching views towards the hilltop village of Colerne. Originally built as a smaller property in the 1970s it has since been converted into a sizable five-bedroom home laid out over three floors offering versatile living space, plenty of natural light and an excellent flow from inside to out. The current owners have also made some updates to the rear extension, extensively remodelling it for use as a music studio with hardwood flooring with underfloor heating. Above this sits a fiberglass resin balcony and beautiful Brimstone Ash thermally modified decking. In addition, they have rebuilt an existing summerhouse and completely renovated its interior to elevate the outdoor living experience the generous garden already offers. Designed with a strong emphasis on nature with diverse areas for enjoyment, the terraced front garden – a sun trap – offers an ideal setting for savouring a coffee at any time of day. Its sunken design allows easy access to the driveway while ensuring privacy from passing walkers, dogs, and horses. In the tranquil and secluded rear garden, one can relish the soothing sounds of nature throughout the day, thanks to its expansive length. ‘Currently, the lower section serves as a vibrant wildflower garden, bursting with colour in the summer. Alternatively, it could be effortlessly transformed into a vegetable patch for those with greener thumbs,’ say the owners.

‘Freshwoods is light and airy with amazing views and a quiet setting unlike anywhere we have previously lived, plus the views are breath taking.’

‘The flexible layout is perfect for being together and entertaining, while also allowing peace and space to pursue our individual hobbies.’

‘Our favourite room is the living room; making the most of the floor-to-ceiling views across the valley, it is the heart of the home, whether with the balcony doors flung open in the summer or enjoying the warmth from the log burner in winter.’

‘Kingsdown is a lovely, friendly hamlet with a genuine sense of community and great local walks. Good nearby pubs include the Northey Arms, Quarrymans, and the fantastic Longs Arms in South Wraxall.’

‘We love that the location feels rural however its proximity to towns, cities, supermarkets and good travel networks, including fast trains to London and quick access to the M4, makes it highly convenient.’
