The Ley, Box, SN13

Setting The Scene

Tucked away in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, Box Village sits just 3 miles from Corsham and 5 miles from the historic city of Bath, perfectly combining rural charm with excellent access to nearby towns. With scenic walks, open green spaces, and rolling countryside all around, it’s a wonderful setting for families and those who enjoy the outdoors.

The village offers a wide range of amenities, including a post office, doctors’ surgery, pharmacy, convenience store and Londis supermarket.

For a small village, there's an impressive range of dining options to enjoy. The Quarryman's Arms offers delicious food with panoramic countryside views, while The Northey Arms delivers a classic pub experience, The Queen’s Head with entertainment and traditional pub fayre. For something spicier, Bengal Bear serves up flavourful Indian takeaway and restaurant (BYO). Newly opened Vine to Plate brings cocktails and a taste of the Mediterranean and Eastern cuisine to the village, and for brunch lovers, Toast and The Birdhouse Café serve exceptional breakfasts, brunches, and irresistible homemade cakes.

Families benefit from the highly regarded Box Church of England Primary School, while the busy village hall acts as a community hub, hosting everything from fitness classes to the much-loved annual pantomime.

Box is also celebrated for its cultural heritage, being home to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios and the annual Box Revels, a lively fête filled with music, entertainment, and family fun.

The recreation ground provides excellent facilities, including a playground, BMX track, sports courts, bowling green, and tennis courts, while the Queen’s Head pub offers a welcoming spot to gather with friends.

There are regular bus services into the city, along with dedicated school bus routes, including those serving independent schools such as Stonar, King Edward’s, and The Royal High. The village is served with coach services to London and Bristol Airport.

The Property

At first glance, this charming Cotswold stone home appears modest, but step inside and you’ll discover a deceptively spacious property of over 2,000 sq. ft, spread across three versatile floors. Cleverly designed as an “upside-down house,” you enter on the ground floor before working your way down, making the most of its unique layout and spectacular rear views.

From the front, the house is full of character, framed by pretty planting and a mature tree that enhances its kerb appeal. A driveway for two cars and a roomy garage add practicality, perfectly complementing its attractive façade.

Inside, the home is beautifully presented and offered in excellent condition throughout. With five bedrooms and two reception rooms, the space is wonderfully adaptable—whether you need family bedrooms, home offices, or playrooms, the choice is yours. The kitchen and two bathrooms were both stylishly renovated in 2022 and have been impeccably maintained. Large windows flood the house with natural light, with some rooms boasting striking floor-to-ceiling glazing to maximise both daylight and design. From the rear, breath taking views stretch across Box and the surrounding Wiltshire countryside.

What’s more, a large boarded loft area offers excellent storage and exciting potential to extend (subject to the necessary permissions).

The garden is a true highlight—generous in size and thoughtfully landscaped with a shingled seating area, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining, along with a wide lawn that enjoys sun throughout the day.

With its combination of charm, space, and outstanding views, this is a home that offers far more than first meets the eye.

Reception Room

Bedroom Five
