Description

A substantial five bedroom detached house located in a peaceful close in Corsley, with far reaching views and gardens extending to almost one acre. The property benefits from a large south facing roof of solar panels, 8kW, and generous battery storage, 24kW. Central heating and hot water are modern electric with smart controls, programmable by standard app, Alexa and similar systems. EV charging, Zappi, for two cars coordinates with the solar panels and night tariff. In addition, the solar panels contribute circa £95 per month, Octopus, from March to September. The property has been updated during the current vendors ownership to now provide a spacious family home which is very well presented.

A glazed porch, with space for coats and boots, opens into a large hallway. This leads through to the kitchen dining room, which would suit both family life and entertaining. The kitchen has fitted cupboards and drawers, an electric double oven and hob, and space for a fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is built in banquette seating, offering the perfect place for a table for the family to gather, with views of the garden. A separate utility room provides plenty of additional storage, with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer, as well as a rear door leading out to the garden. The living room is dual aspect, with sliding doors to the garden, and there is a second reception room/snug, which also overlooks the garden and is currently set up as a playroom. Back to the hallway, there is a W/C and stairs leading up to a galleried landing. The main bedroom has south facing views over the garden and towards Longleat Forest, and benefits from an ensuite with a large walk in shower. There are three further double bedrooms and a fifth small double bedroom. The family bathroom has sleek floor and wall tiles, a bath and a separate shower.

The extensive garden is a significant bonus, wrapping around the front, side and rear of the house and extending to almost one acre, with breathtaking views of Cley Hill. A sweeping lawn is perfect for family activities and offers plenty of scope for the keen gardener. There are apple trees and a mature weeping birch, which provides a relaxing secluded space for a hammock. The far end of the garden has been rewilded, with pathways leading to a gate which is used at the farmer’s discretion and is perfect for accessing the surrounding countryside. Tucked away amongst the blackthorn bushes and trees is a home office with power and internet. There is a double garage with eaves storage and access to both the garden and the driveway, which has a double EV port and parking for several vehicles. As well as children’s play equipment, an abundance of wildlife visits the garden, including four woodpeckers and a wealth of other indigenous birds.

The village amenities include tennis courts, a cricket pitch and play park, village hall and reading rooms, a gym, physio, dog groomer, and The Royal Oak public house with a garden and far reaching views. There is also a garden centre and café. The wonders of Longleat House and Safari Park are close by, and a bus service goes through the village to both Frome and Warminster, where there are rail links to London.

Frome is a historic market town, just under 13 miles from Bath and surrounded by beautiful countryside. The town has many amenities, including good schools, two theatres, a cinema and a station with rail links to Bath, Bristol and London Paddington.
