Dallas Road, Chippenham

Could this be your "Forever home"?

Tucked away behind mature trees offering privacy from the road, this spacious and character-filled home sits on an unusually large plot (0.25 acre) with a wide gated driveway offering parking for up to five cars, plus a garage with further parking in front. A well-maintained front garden sets the tone for this unique property, which effortlessly blends period charm with huge scope for modernisation and expansion.

Step through an elegant arched front door into a generous hallway flooded with light from a stunning stained glass window on the front elevation of the property. Character features abound, including a panelled staircase with under-stair cupboard, and an arched nook housing a window, that hints at the home’s heritage.

The ground floor boasts a large living room with a striking feature fireplace at the centre of the room. Situated in the middle of the ground floor, the room remains cool during the heat of the day. A window to the side overlooks the front garden and double doors flow into a spacious conservatory -  offering enough space to be used as a dining or garden room.

A practical inner hallway between the kitchen and living room includes a downstairs WC on one side and a built-in storage area on the other. This leads through to a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room offers excellent storage with multiple cupboards, a double oven, integrated dishwasher, and space for a washing machine. A large rear window overlooks the garden, and a door leads out to a front porch, perfect for coats, shoes, and everyday storage. There is potential here to extend even further (subject to planning) and add those sought after Bi fold doors which would then open up onto the huge garden. 

Also on the ground floor is a second large reception room with potential to be used as a formal dining room, large study or playroom.  With an Art Deco-style fireplace and two recessed alcoves there is character in this room as well as great potential for this room to be utilised as a fourth bedroom. 

Upstairs, a spacious galleried landing retains period character with picture rails and original woodwork. Light floods in from the stained glass arched window and this space epitomises the term "galleried landing".

The main bedroom enjoys a double aspect, built-in storage cupboard, and plenty of room for additional freestanding wardrobe or dressing table. A superb size and a great start to the upstairs accommodation. 

A second generous double bedroom features a large central window and additional side window, while the third bedroom is a small single, but offers good opportunity for a nursery, study, or guest room. The real potential in this property to create a stunning main bedroom suite lies in the attic space. There are plenty of options to add a staircase, and it already has excellent head height, exposed beams, existing Velux and porthole-style windows, and is crying out to be turned into a luxurious master suite or additional 2 bedrooms (subject to permissions and building regs)

The modern family bathroom includes a white suite, shower over bath, heated towel rail, and a more recent finish. Additional built-in cupboards along the landing provide excellent storage or scope to create the space for permanent loft access. 

The mature and well-established rear garden is a standout feature with an overall plot of approx. 0.25 acre, this is a rare find for such a central location. A generous raised patio area is perfect for entertaining, with steps leading down to a large lawn bordered by mature trees, shrubs, and fruit trees. Winding paths reveal hidden seating areas, a greenhouse, and a fenced-off storage zone tucked discreetly at the bottom of the garden. The small Hardenhuish brook runs along the lower boundary, adding charm and tranquility. A truly mature and pretty garden and surprisingly quiet and peaceful. 

To the front, the home is set back from the road, screened by trees, and approached via a gated driveway. There’s ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, a single garage with light and power, further parking in front of the garage and additional storage space behind and within a stone built shed/workshop. There is also a front garden with lawn and planting.
