6 bed detached house for sale

Long Street, Devizes SN10

‘Eastcroft House’ is an exquisite Georgian home of immense standing and presence, which the current owners have completely transformed in the 5 years they have owned it, undertaking an incredible renovation of both the house and grounds. It effortlessly blends a wealth of period features alongside all the expected modern comforts. An entrance vestibule leads to the fine hall with its fabulous staircase. The principal reception rooms comprise an elegant 22ft dining room and a grand drawing room, both having high, ornate plastered ceilings. There is a flexible snug / study and a 24ft reception room with scope for a wide range of uses from a games room to a studio or gym. The kitchen has been fitted to a high specification with flagstone flooring and quartz worktops. It has a range of quality appliances and there is a walk-in pantry, a utility room, a laundry room and a light and airy breakfast room (all finished to the same exacting standard). The incredibly spacious cellars are the ideal home for anyone with an extensive wine collection or requiring useful ancillary space. Mirroring the large hallway, the generous first floor landing is a great feature of the house and opens off to six double bedrooms, as well as three refitted shower rooms and a contemporary family bathroom. The principal rooms on the ground and first floors overlook the stunning gardens. From the landing stairs go up to two attic rooms.

The private parking, for up to 8 vehicles in addition to the detached double garage, is a rare commodity for a house right in the town centre. The glorious south west facing gardens (the property extends to just over an acre), are extremely private with an attractive backdrop of mature trees. Immediately by the house there is a wide Indian sandstone sun terrace and a second circular terrace has been perfectly placed to capture the sun. The well stocked flower beds and borders are a gardener’s dream.
