Top Lane, Whitley, Wiltshire, SN12 8RB

Positioned in the heart of Whitley Village, this extensively renovated and beautifully presented detached house offers a rare blend of period charm and contemporary luxury. With four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three versatile reception rooms, the property enjoys glorious views across the surrounding rolling countryside, generous private gardens, and an expansive driveway leading to a versatile detached double garage. This home provides an idyllic lifestyle opportunity, perfectly blending old character with stylish modern conveniences, all within an easy striking distance of Bath, Corsham, Chippenham, and Bradford on Avon.

Upon entering, a useful porch provides ample space in which to store the coats and shoes, opening up into the heart of the home - An impressive 21-foot dual-aspect kitchen/dining room. This space features a beautiful hand-crafted bespoke stone fireplace, expansive stunning dark green imported marble worktops with a five ring gas hob inset, and a beautiful oak and glass staircase that ascends to the first floor. Fitted appliances include a dishwasher, drinks-cooler, two ovens, and the space, power, and plumbing for a tall fridge/freezer, a washing machine, and a drier. This excellent hosting space showcases attractive and durable high-quality wood-effect 'Karndean' flooring as well as solid stone tiled flooring, and the modern combination boiler can also be found in the kitchen cupboard close to the 'utility area' of the kitchen. Adjacent to this, a wonderful large sitting room measures almost 16-feet by 22-feet in size, providing a comfortable and spacious area for relaxation, with doors opening directly onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the sitting room and extends into a highly versatile garden room at the front, providing excellent use as an office, playroom, or reading room. The ground floor also benefits from the convenience of a well-appointed downstairs cloakroom, ensuring practicality for residents and guests alike.

Ascending the elegant oak and glass staircase, the first floor reveals a generously proportioned main bedroom, featuring a captivating picture window that frames the picturesque views of the countryside. This main bedroom is complemented by a lavish en suite bathroom, offering a private sanctuary with a charming vaulted ceiling with remotely-controlled 'Velux' roof window, in addition to a generous walk-in shower, heated towel rail, sink and W.C. Three additional double bedrooms provide ample space, with some benefiting from fitted storage solutions. These rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, designed with modern fixtures and finishes akin to the stylish en-suite, benefitting from a vaulted ceiling, a full length bath with shower over, sink, W.C, and heated towel rail. The landing itself is a notably light and spacious area, with ample shelving space and room for a desk.

Externally, the property truly shines with its inviting and well-tended mature private rear garden, creating a serene and highly private outdoor oasis with a peaceful and leafy field outlook beyond. A patio area is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, with a stone-built pizza oven and designated barbeque area to enjoy. A fair amount of lawn often enjoys plenty of direct afternoon sunlight owing to the relatively unobscured Westerly-boundary. At the front, a due-South facing orientation ensures that the property often bathes in plenty of light, with a range of seating areas at the front on offer to make sure you don't miss a minute of it throughout the day. The expansive driveway at the front provides ample off-street parking for multiple large vehicles, leading in turn to a detached double garage that can comfortably accommodate vehicle storage, workshop space, and/or form the basis for potential conversion into something more substantial (subject to any required consents). Currently, it benefits from light, power, and a window, with access granted via a pedestrian door at the rear as well as the electric door at the front. Additionally, there is extra storage capabilities residing in the loft beneath the conventional pitched roof.

The village of Whitley is a most sought-after and bustling Village in which to live. For families, there is the renowned Daisy Chain Nursery as well as Snapdragons Nursery in Atworth. Shaw Church of England Primary school is also conveniently located just a gentle level stroll away, whilst further schooling options and a plethora of additional amenities on offer in Corsham are situated only another 7 or so minutes distant by car or the local bus service. There is a range of excellent suitable secondary schools that Whitley 'feeds' into, and for those who like country walks, bike rides or a spot of Golf, the Kingsdown and Whitley golf club can be found a few moments from this property, as can local green spaces and play areas. For those who prefer city life, there is a bus that picks up from around the corner and stops right in the heart of Bath (duration time of approximately twenty-five minutes to half an hour, traffic depending), amongst a variety of other locations. Lowden Garden Centre, The Pear Tree Inn, The White Heart, 'Spindles' bike and coffee shop, and The Golden Fleece are all popular and welcoming establishments in which to eat, drink, and enjoy seasonal events and entertainment. The local convenience stores of Whitley and Atworth are also located nearby, meaning that most, if not all, of the everyday needs can be met within this thriving and inviting community. A variety of major superstore effectively deliver to this property and area too, for those who would rather complete an online shop as opposed to travelling to the local towns of Corsham, Chippenham, & Melksham.
