Castle Street, Calne, Wiltshire, SN11

Description

Grants House is a Georgian style semi-detached home tucked away down a no-through road within the historic castle area, but moments from the High Street. The house offers fantastic proportioned rooms throughout and flexible living spaces.

Upon entering the home you are greeted into the central hallway from which all the main rooms are accessed. The main drawing room has triple windows overlooking the rear garden and is centred around the open fireplace. The country style kitchen/dining room offers ample space for family meals or entertaining with a large central island, AGA and space for a good-sized dining table. Off the kitchen is the utility and boot room, with access to a small enclosed courtyard. The study has been converted from what once the Coach House and has double doors opening out to the rear garden, making this a wonderful work from home space. This room could easily be utilised as a play room, or could be extended into the garage (subject to planning) to create a second reception space.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms with views across the garden, two of which benefit from having ensuites. There is also a family bathroom and a separate WC with hand wash basin.
