Woodlands Close, Christian Malford, Chippenham, SN15

Discreetly hidden behind mature hedging and a wide front lawn, this striking family home has a wonderful quality, and under floor heating throughout is supplied by an air source heat pump.

The gracious entrance hall has an impressive staircase rising to the first floor, plenty of under stairs storage and opens through double doors into the large dual aspect sitting room, a beautiful feature fireplace houses a Clearview wood burning stove and newly installed bi-folding doors are ready to throw open onto the southwest facing garden. Oak doors lead into a large study, perfect for working from home; the window overlooks the front garden. A further reception room has a range of purposes, currently used as a snug, but perhaps a playroom, dining room additional work from home office or a teenager’s den.

Truly the heart of the home the spacious kitchen-breakfast room has windows on three sides, double doors open onto the patio at the rear. There is a personal door onto the driveway at the side, ideal for grocery deliveries or unloading the car, a utility area is to one side and there is plenty of room for a large table and chairs in the centre of the room.

Upstairs a roomy landing leads to four bedrooms, the principal bedroom is light and airy with fitted wardrobes along one side and an immaculate en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, all full of natural light, a spacious airing cupboard and a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

The house benefits from generous size gardens to both the front and rear which covers over 1/3 of an acre. The gardens are an absolute delight, with mature hedging providing privacy, whilst the borders and flower beds produce colour and style. There is a hexagonal greenhouse and a delightful summer house with heat, light and power which would make a super craft room, work from home office or the perfect place to sit and just enjoy the surrounding flora and fauna. A lovely feature of the garden is the adjacent woodland and wildlife area at the end of the garden, which extends your view but not your gardening skills.

A gated driveway leads to the block paved driveway, easily parking for 7 or 8 cars, leading to a double garage, here there is light and power, water available if required and a large amount of storage in the eaves which is accessed by a fixed ladder.

This lovely house benefits from underfloor heating throughout the house, both upstairs and downstairs, each room has a separate thermostat allowing each room to have a different temperature – no more heating those rooms which you aren’t using. This is fully supported by solar panels on the roof and garage, where there are batteries.
