This architect-designed detached home, completed in 2011, presents an exceptional fusion of contemporary comfort and understated elegance, offering more than 4,600 square feet of highly adaptable and individual accommodation. Set within the picturesque and historic village of Lacock, the property enjoys an incredibly rare balance of seclusion and convenience for such a popular location. Positioned within Lacock Conservation Area upon a peaceful, level, and gated plot just a short distance from the lively village centre, this home has been lovingly crafted to a high specification throughout. Complete with a large and impressive well-appointed two bedroom annex, known as Clubhouse Cottage, there are plenty of versatile spaces on offer for those with various hobbies and work-from-home needs to accommodate for.

The main entrance is approached through a solid oak front door that opens into a generous entrance hall, where engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating creates a warm and stylish first impression. A built-in double wardrobe provides useful storage and cleverly conceals doors that link through to the spacious self-contained annex, allowing this secure separate living area to be incorporated seamlessly into the main house if preferred. From here, the hall flows into a lobby finished with ceramic tiles and underfloor heating, complemented by further storage beneath the staircase to maintain a tidy, organised feel. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen / dining room / family room, a beautifully designed space for keen cooks and enthusiastic hosts alike. This notably bright dual-aspect space features a comprehensive range of integrated Neff appliances, including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and ceiling extraction system, together with Bosch combi microwave and double ovens. The Siemens induction hob sits beneath a coordinated extractor with built-in lighting, while above the breakfast bar a ceiling-mounted Bluetooth audio and lighting system sets the tone for anything from lively gatherings to relaxed ambient family evenings. The L-shaped island offers generous storage with soft-close units finished in a combination of gunmetal and light grey Shaker-style cabinetry, all topped with Horizon Stone Bianco Carrara quartz work surfaces. Luxury vinyl wood-effect flooring with underfloor heating ensures the space remains comfortable and inviting throughout the year.

A lounge is accessible via oak double-doors leading out from the kitchen, offering another bright area in which to host and relax, distinguished by its ceramic flooring, underfloor heating, vaulted ceilings, striking oak frame, and large picture windows, giving the room a timeless architectural presence. For leisure or flexible use, there is a substantial home cinema/games room adjacent to the lounge, continuing the oak framing found in the lounge. This space benefits from external access and is served by a useful kitchenette, cloakroom, home office/study, and additional storerooms, allowing the space to adapt to a variety of lifestyles. From the main entrance lobby, a mature snug/sitting room provides a cosy retreat, centred around a Charnwood Cove wood-burning stove and featuring oak flooring with underfloor heating. 

On the ground floor, a spacious double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room and double patio doors creates an ideal guest suite/tranquil downstairs bedroom. Upstairs, the main bedroom suite forms a luxurious sanctuary, complete with a large fully tiled en-suite shower room, a walk-in wardrobe, and luxury vinyl tile wood-effect flooring.  A further double bedroom, with a walk-in wardrobe, creates generously proportioned and well-organised accommodation ideal for families. A fully tiled family bathroom provides a bath, a separate tiled shower enclosure, and a heated towel radiator for added comfort with excellent exposure to natural light which streams in through the 'Velux' roof window. Rooms on the opposite side of the landing provide an additional double bedroom and an adjoining sitting area / large study, featuring a TV point, eaves storage, a dressing area, and its own private en-suite shower room.

The separate and fully approved annex, Clubhouse Cottage, occupies part of the ground floor and offers complete independence and excellent room proportions with its own dedicated entrance as well as optional internal access to the main residence. Its hallway features underfloor heating and excellent storage facilities, leading into a bright open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. This welcoming space is finished with engineered oak flooring and underfloor heating, and features a sleek modern Lamona kitchen with integrated appliances and an electric flame-effect fireplace that enhances the inviting ambiance. The annex contains two large double bedrooms, each with its own stylish en-suite - one with a shower and the other with a bath and shower over. A private courtyard garden with a south-facing patio provides the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine, and the many full-length windows in situ allow for plenty of natural light to flood the room, and also provide a lovely vista. This self-contained space is ideally suited to multi-generational living or for those seeking an additional income stream from holiday accommodation, having previously brought in approximately £30,000 per annum when used as an investment.

The grounds of the main house are well-organised and nicely matured, comprising of beautifully landscaped spaces surrounding the property and creating a peaceful and private setting on all sides. A traditional cast-iron lamppost adds charm to the outdoor environment, while practical additions such as a covered storage area, a workshop / garden store with power, and an enclosed section for waste and recycling promote both order and convenience. There is generous private driveway parking for approximately six vehicles, along with an electric vehicle charging point to support modern needs. The rear garden provides lawn and decking that are perfect for family enjoyment, complemented by flower beds and raised borders that deliver colour and greenery throughout the seasons, forming a delightful backdrop to life in this exceptional home.

Set in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside, Lacock is one of England’s most beautifully preserved villages, offering a blend of historic charm, strong community spirit and everyday practicality. The Village feels quintessentially rural while remaining highly convenient for modern life. Steeped in over a thousand years of history and recorded in the Domesday Book, Lacock grew around the magnificent Lacock Abbey, founded in 1232 and later home to photographic pioneer William Henry Fox Talbot. The village’s architectural integrity has been carefully protected, creating a uniquely atmospheric setting that is both visually stunning and genuinely lived-in. Despite its heritage status, Lacock functions as a thriving village. Local amenities include a village shop, bakery, tearooms, historic pubs, a primary school and a church, all within easy walking distance. Surrounded by open countryside, Lacock offers immediate access to scenic walking and cycling routes, with fields, woodland and riverside paths right on the doorstep, and established playing fields and parks for children to enjoy. Yet the village is exceptionally well connected: Chippenham is just a few miles away, providing mainline rail services to London Paddington, Bath and Bristol, while road links via the A350 and M4 (Junction 17) make commuting straightforward.
