Lacock Road, Corsham, SN13

The refurbishment and re-design of Southbank Barn has resulted in a beautifully executed and comfortable family home. Well-regarded local firms including Stonewood, Ben Argent Kitchens and Ripples Bathrooms have brought their expertise into the mix. A gravel drive leads up to the most impressive front door opening into the galleried entrance and staircase hall. Limestone flagstones flow throughout the principal rooms bringing a cohesive look and warmth under foot. Pocket doors slide open from the hall into the sitting room with an integrated wood burning stove and full height sliding doors opening out onto the garden. Adjacent to this is a dining room, which leads into the stunning open plan kitchen, dining and living area, over 39 ft long. The kitchen has been expertly designed for the space with a wall of units including integrated appliances and a sleek, central island, incorporating plenty of storage. A pantry also adds to the practical layout. There is plenty of space for a dining/sitting area and with the exposed beams of the A-frame and a wall of windows that slide open to the terrace, this home is perfect for summer living, but for the cooler evenings, the drawing room benefits from a stone fireplace and wood burning stove. A further reception makes a great home office or TV room. A boot room, cloakroom and utility/plant room complete the ground floor.

The principal bedroom benefits from exposed beams, a wall of windows looking out onto the garden and a bank of wardrobes and a luxury bathroom. The second bedroom suite comprises, an inner hall lined with wardrobes, a bedroom and adjacent bathroom. At the far end are two further bedrooms plus the family bathroom including a free-standing bath and a walk-in shower.
