Thames View, Blunsdon, Wiltshire

Step inside

The storm porch opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful storage beneath. The living room sits to the right and provides a comfortable, well-proportioned space away from the main family hub.

To the rear, the house really comes into its own. The kitchen/dining/family room is the heart of the home, beautifully finished and designed for modern living, with a high quality kitchen, breakfast bar seating, space to dine and bi-folding doors opening straight out to the garden. It is the sort of space that works just as well for busy family mornings as it does for relaxed evenings and weekend entertaining.

A separate utility room adds valuable practicality, while a ground floor cloakroom completes the layout.

Upstairs, there are three good bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom also has a smart ensuite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.

Step outside

To the front, there is a generous driveway providing parking for several vehicles, together with an EV charging point.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged over two levels, with a paved terrace adjoining the house and creating an easy extension of the kitchen/dining/family space. Steps lead up to a lawned area, giving a good balance of seating, entertaining and usable garden space.

The setting is a major part of the appeal. Thames View sits on the edge of Blunsdon, with countryside views, village walks and a more open feel than many modern developments are able to offer.

Area insight

Blunsdon is one of those locations that manages to offer the best of several worlds. It has a proper village feel, with a pub, country hotel, community shop, church and a strong local identity, while also being incredibly well placed for day-to-day life.

Thames View sits on the edge of the village, giving the development a more rural feel, with countryside close by and walks almost from the front door. For those wanting space, fresh air and a quieter setting, but without feeling cut off, it is a very appealing balance.

Nearby Tadpole Garden Village and North Swindon provide a wider range of shops, schools, supermarkets, cafes and leisure facilities, while the A419 gives excellent access towards Cirencester, the Cotswolds, Cheltenham, Swindon and the M4. It is a location that works brilliantly for buyers who want the convenience of strong connections, but would much rather come home to village-edge views than a busier town setting.
