John Rennie Close, Bradford-on-avon, Wiltshire, BA15 1UJ

This substantially extended and beautifully appointed detached home has been drastically improved by the current owners to create a highly versatile and stylish family property approaching 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully arranged accommodation. Set within a peaceful and family-friendly cul-de-sac, the property combines generous internal space with low-maintenance outdoor living, while remaining conveniently located within striking distance of local schooling, shops, the train station and the town centre.

At the heart of the home is a glorious open-plan 30-foot kitchen, dining and family room which provides an outstanding space for both everyday living and entertaining. This bright dual-aspect room enjoys doors opening directly onto the garden and is laid with durable yet attractive stone flooring, complemented by stylish column radiators. The impressive kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary shaker-style soft-close cupboards and drawers offering excellent storage, together with high-quality solid quartz worktops which extend across a substantial island bar that provides additional preparation space and ample seating for informal dining. The kitchen is comprehensively equipped with a range of integrated appliances including a full-height fridge, full-height freezer, double oven, dishwasher and drinks fridge. A boiling water tap serves a stainless steel double sink. The dining area sits at the opposite end of the room and offers generous space for large gatherings or formal dinners around a sizeable dining table. A deep utility cupboard provides power, plumbing and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, allowing larger appliances to be kept discreetly out of sight and earshot. Overhead spotlighting enhances the atmosphere and allows the room to be tailored to any occasion.

The property also benefits from a spacious and relaxing dual-aspect sitting room which provides a welcoming retreat away from the main entertaining area. This attractive room features wooden flooring and a wood-burning stove which creates a cosy focal point during the colder months, while doors opening to the garden allow for an easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The welcoming entrance hallway also provides access to a cloakroom / W.C, as well as space within the storage cupboards designed to tidy away the coats and shoes - ideal for busy households.

On the first floor the house offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enhanced by bespoke quality window shutters which add both privacy and character. The luxurious tiled family bathroom is beautifully appointed and includes underfloor heating, a full-length bath with rain-drop shower overhead, vanity unit with sink, heated towel rail and W.C. Natural light streams through the window, creating a bright and comfortable space.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, measuring approximately 17 feet in length and comfortably accommodating a super king-sized bed. It is complemented by a generous dressing room measuring approximately 8 feet by 11 feet 6 inches, which benefits from its own window for natural light and provides excellent wardrobe and storage space. The main bedroom is further served by a fully tiled en suite shower room complete with underfloor heating, sink, W.C and heated towel rail, again enjoying plenty of natural light through a window.

Outside, the level landscaped rear garden has been designed for both enjoyment and ease of maintenance. It features an attractive artificial lawn alongside expansive composite decking and a patio area, all enclosed by a mixture of fencing and mature hedging and illuminated beautifully at night by a selection of spotlighting options to create the perfect ambience. The garden enjoys plenty of direct southerly and afternoon sunshine and provides a superb setting for relaxing or entertaining. A particular highlight is the impressive larch-clad garden studio, a secure and well-equipped outbuilding that offers exceptional versatility. With power, insulation, double glazing and spotlighting, it provides an ideal space for use as a home office, gym, hobbies room or even an occasional fifth bedroom.

To the front of the property there is ample driveway parking for several larger vehicles, leading to a garage which is currently utilised for storage. The garage is well finished with part-plastered walls, shelving storage, proper flooring, lighting and power, providing useful additional space and convenience through an internal door connecting with the living space.
