Property description
Built by the Rudman family around 1860, this unique property was one of the original houses in the area. It offers spacious, flexible accommodation, and is light and airy with high ceilings and double aspect to most rooms.
Currently used as a family home, it was previously a very successful Bed & Breakfast and has the flexibility to suit business or combined use (subject to appropriate planning permission, of course). Various bedrooms have served as a library, a gym, an office, and as family/guest bedrooms.
The ground floor has a large 35m2 through lounge/dining room, leading to a bright conservatory and out into the south easterly facing garden – ideal for hosting BBQs and family gatherings. The rear garden is a low maintenance play area, easily visible from both the kitchen and the conservatory. Established native hedging around the garden provides plenty of privacy, and a side gate opens onto Sheldon Road.
The ground floor also has a separate family room that was previously used as a formal dining room. There is a WC on this level and the fitted kitchen leads into a utility room plumbed for a washing machine and vented for a dryer.
The first floor has four double bedrooms and the family shower/bathroom. One bedroom is currently used as a home office. Another bedroom on this floor has an en-suite bathroom.
The second floor has another four double bedrooms and a WC (big enough to fit a bath or shower with previous plumbing present but boxed in). One bedroom has been fitted with floor to ceiling oak bookshelves, and with the added bonus of a velux window this room makes a calm retreat. The loft access hatch is on this floor, giving you even more storage.
The property is within walking distance of four primary schools, including Frogwell and St Peter’s, and the highly sought after Hardenhuish and Sheldon senior schools.
Situated on the western side of the town between the A4 and the A420, there is easy access to the M4 corridor, as well as Chippenham’s mainline railway station.
This house has been the hub of many family and social gatherings, with its extensive entertaining space and safe parking for 10 or more cars. Life has taken us to the other side of the world and it is sadly time for us to sell.
