Ruby Close, Swindon, SN25

GUIDE PRICE - £550,000 - £575,000

Sitting in Abbey Farm with a scenic outlook, this four bedroom detached house gives a family room to grow, with a driveway and double garage adding the kind of practical space that is often hard to find.

The front door opens into a central hallway, with a cloakroom off to one side and the stairs rising to the first floor. The reception room runs to just over 21 feet, with custom made window seats and the dual aspect allowing plenty of light in across the day. Opposite, the kitchen and dining room stretches to 25'6 and is arranged around a central island, leaving room for a full dining table at one end. French doors lead out to the garden from here, so meals can move outside when the weather allows. A separate utility room, with its own door to the outside, keeps laundry and the clutter of daily life out of the main living space.

Upstairs, the gallery landing connects four bedrooms and the family bathroom, with an airing cupboard for linen. The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes and its own ensuite shower room, giving a little separation from the rest of the household in the morning rush. The second and fourth bedrooms are both comfortable doubles, and the third works well as a child’s room, guest room or home office.

Outside, the garden is private, and the driveway leads to the double garage. At 20' x 18'7, it has space for two cars, or one alongside a workshop, bikes and storage.

Abbey Farm puts the A419 and M4 corridor within easy reach, which suits anyone travelling for work while wanting a settled base at home. With 1,446 sq ft of living space before the double garage is counted, this is a home that a family can settle into for the long term.

Please note there is an Abbey Farm Development charge of crica £27.50 per month.
