5 bed detached house for sale

Hawk Street, Bromham, Chippenham SN15

A magnificent barn conversion in a superb rural setting. Packed with period features, this charming 17th century home has impressive gardens and far-reaching countryside views.

The beautifully arranged accommodation opens with an impressive 22ft vaulted reception/dining hall, featuring exposed stone walls and a striking staircase rising to a galleried landing and library. Bedrooms are off to the right, with reception rooms to the left.

The generously proportioned drawing room is dual aspect, boasting a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a brick inglenook fireplace with a welcoming log-burning stove. This leads into a versatile family/sitting room, also dual aspect, with its own log burner set within a stone fireplace. Both rooms enjoy delightful views over the gardens and towards Roundway Hill.

The 18ft modern kitchen/breakfast room offers ample storage and worktop space, with access to a useful utility room and direct access to the garden. An inner hall off the main hallway leads to four double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, an en suite bathroom, and a balcony capturing the exceptional views. A substantial 28ft boarded loft provides excellent potential for further conversion (subject to permissions).

Outside, a long driveway bordered by box hedging and lavender leads to a double garage with attached greenhouse and store. There is ample parking and a turning circle. The gardens extend to about 1 acre and are beautifully maintained, featuring level lawns, established borders, mature trees and shrubs, a wildlife pond, and a productive kitchen garden.
