Follyfield, Hankerton, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, SN16

Tucked away within a lovely cul-de-sac on the edge of Malmesbury, this beautifully presented five bedroom detached home offers bright, spacious accommodation and a really private plot that wraps around the house.

Stepping inside, the hallway gives a welcoming first impression, with a downstairs cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor. The sitting room is a really lovely, comfortable space centred around a wood-burning stove, with plenty of room to relax and doors opening straight out onto the garden. It flows naturally through into the dining area, creating a layout that works equally well for family life or entertaining.

The kitchen sits just beyond and offers a practical, well-connected space with access out to the garden, while a useful utility room off the kitchen also provides internal access through to the garage, adding to the ease of day-to-day living. Altogether, the layout has a warm and welcoming feel, with plenty of flexibility for someone to enjoy as it is or gradually make their own over time.

Upstairs, the wide landing adds to the sense of space. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, along with a full range of fitted wardrobes and an ensuite.  While there is a further three double bedrooms and an additional bedroom offering flexibility for children, guests or working from home. The family bathroom is well-appointed with both a separate shower and bath.

Outside, the property benefits from generous driveway parking to the front, along with additional space to the side, leading to the generous garage positioned at the front of the house. The garden is a particularly pretty feature, enclosed by mature hedging and offering a lovely sense of privacy. Mainly laid to lawn, there is also a patio area ideal for sitting out, along with established borders that add colour and character to the space.

Follyfield has always been popular for its peaceful setting and friendly atmosphere, with a real sense of family.
