4 bed detached house for sale

Station Road, Devizes, Wiltshire SN10

Council tax band: F

Offered to the market with no onward chain, South Royd is a truly exceptional detached home, set in a commanding elevated position and surrounded by its own private woodland, creating a setting that feels enchanting, secluded and wonderfully unique, yet still within easy reach of Devizes town centre. Few homes offer this level of privacy and individuality, and remarkably the property even benefits from its own private postcode, something extremely rare and a real testament to how special this home is.

Originally a bungalow, South Royd has been thoughtfully and cleverly extended over the years to create a spacious and highly versatile home, now offering approaching 2,000 sq ft of beautifully balanced accommodation. The house flows effortlessly, with light-filled rooms, flexible living space and a layout perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining.
The property is approached via a sliding gate opening onto a generous private driveway with parking for several vehicles. A brick paved pathway leads to a painted decked terrace with glass balustrade, a wonderful place to sit and take in the leafy outlook, entertain guests, or simply enjoy the peace and surroundings.
The accommodation opens into a triple-aspect dining room which in turn leads into a family/music room with a cleverly hidden staircase rising to the first floor. From here, glazed doors open into a superb 20ft dual-aspect sitting room with a log burning stove, creating a warm and inviting main living space, as well as a stylish refitted kitchen/breakfast room featuring oak worktops, breakfast bar, American-style fridge/freezer, dishwasher, double oven and five-ring hob. A rear hall provides access to a refitted cloakroom and separate utility room.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, three of which share a covered interconnecting balcony overlooking the grounds and woodland beyond. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, with a walk-in wardrobe leading through to a cleverly hidden en suite shower room with underfloor heating, creating a real sense of luxury and privacy. Bedroom four also benefits from an en suite and direct access outside to the rear garden. A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation.

The grounds are a real highlight of South Royd, extending to around half an acre, with mature trees, lawns, and winding woodland pathways and clearings that wrap around the house, giving the property a magical "woodland wonder" setting that changes beautifully with the seasons. There is also an impressive 35ft garage/workshop with light and power.

All in all, this is one of those rare properties that offers something truly different, privacy, space, woodland surroundings, and a home full of character, all within easy reach of the town, and with the added distinction of having its very own postcode.

South Royd is conveniently located on Station Road, within easy walking distance of the historic market town centre of Devizes, which offers a wide range of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. The town is well known for its weekly market, historic buildings and the picturesque Kennet & Avon Canal, providing beautiful walking and cycling routes.

The property is well positioned for access to larger nearby centres including Marlborough, Chippenham and Bath, while mainline rail services from Chippenham provide fast links to London Paddington, making the area suitable for commuters.

There are a number of well-regarded schools in the area, both primary and secondary, and the surrounding Wiltshire countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking, riding and other outdoor pursuits, making this an ideal location for families and those seeking a balance of town and country living.

Council Tax Band F. The property is connected to mains water, drainage and electricity, and further benefits from an air source heat pump system, with underfloor heating installed in the Bedroom One en suite.
