Academy Drive, Corsham, SN13 0SD

VENDOR SUITED - Positioned amongst 17 acres of communal parkland within the popular Academy Drive development, this three bedroom cottage has been thoroughly updated by the owners and benefits from a master bedroom with ensuite shower, private garden, allocated parking with EV charger and single garage. Subject to consents, there is scope to extend the ground floor and convert the loft area to add a fourth bedroom, as per similar properties in Academy Drive.  

As you enter the property you are greeted by an entrance vestibule which is the perfect storage space for muddy boots and jackets. From here, there is access to the kitchen / breakfast room which overlooks the front aspect. The kitchen has been fully updated by the current owners and has been completed to a high standard throughout. The kitchen benefits from fitted wall and base units, Quartz work tops, and includes a host of integrated appliances including wine fridge, electric oven and hob, dishwasher, washer / dryer and fridge / freezer. On top of this there is ample space for a freestanding breakfast table.

From the kitchen, an inner hallway leads to a ground floor WC and stairs to the first floor, as well as the sitting room at the rear of the cottage. The south-west facing sitting room measures 16’ 3” x 12’ 2” with a large understairs cupboard for storage and ample space for furniture. This space can be enjoyed throughout the year with double door doors leading to the private, south-west facing garden, as well as a cosy feature gas fire which makes for a cosy room to enjoy during an evening and the winter months.  

Stairs to the first floor give access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom overlooks the front and benefits from a modern ensuite shower room, whilst bedroom two and bedroom three both overlook the rear garden and communal parkland. There is flexibility to utilise the first floor in several ways, as the current owners utilise the third bedroom as a music room / dressing room. The family bathroom completes the first floor and has been modernised by the current owners and includes a bath with overhead shower.

Externally, an enclosed south-west facing rear garden catches the sun during the day and has been designed to require low maintenance throughout the year. Accessed from the sitting room is a seating area constructed of composite decking which is the perfect spot to enjoy al-fresco dining, whilst a lawn area with flower borders will keep keen gardeners busy. A gate from the garden gives access to communal parkland spanning 17 acres for residence to enjoy. The front garden has been laid to lawn and accessed through communal gardens from the parking area. There is allocated parking one vehicle with an EV charging point, as well as 'first come first serve' visitor spaces. A single garage, with power and lighting, can be used as additional parking / storage.
