Description
Enjoying a prime position in the heart of Holt within private and mature grounds, this attractive double bay-fronted house radiates elegance and charm in-keeping with the turn of the century period in which it was conceived. Having been lovingly kept within the same family who originally built the property, this notably light and particularly spacious detached home offers highly flexible accommodation and rooms of excellent proportions throughout. Step into the wide and welcoming entrance hall and you will find a sitting room and a drawing room on opposite sides, both of which feature impressive high ceilings, working fireplaces and substantial bay windows. The sitting room on the right benefits from a bright dual-aspect ratio as it flows smoothly through to a semi-separate formal dining area which again features an attractive period fireplace and enjoys a pleasant vista over the rear garden. Conveniently situated opposite this dining room is of course the sizeable kitchen / breakfast room, which has been finished to a high standard using tones of sterling grey on the soft-close wooden drawers and cupboards which complement the colonial white granite worktops nicely. This modern kitchen comes complete fitted with NEFF appliances, including two electric fan assist ovens, a four ring ceramic hob with extractor unit overhead, and a stainless steel sink in situ. The other bulkier and nosier appliances are neatly kept away out of eyeshot and earshot in the large separate utility room which is situated adjacent to the kitchen at the rear of the house, offering plenty of space, power, and plumbing for items such as the washing machine or tumble-drier etc - it is here that one can find the modern combination boiler as well as plenty of space to store the coats and shoes. Furthermore, there is a useful downstairs cloakroom W.C as well as plenty of understairs storage to capitalise on. Head upstairs to the first floor where a bright galleried landing gives access to three of the double bedrooms, there is a separate study / home office space with fitted storage as well as a staircase which provides access to bedroom four. Occupiers of the bedrooms at the front of this property can enjoy a leafy and elevated outlook over towards the recreational field and beyond, whilst the occupiers of the bedrooms at the rear enjoy a pleasant and peaceful outlook over the garden. The main bedroom benefits from plenty of fitted storage options as well as a sleek en suite bathroom. The family bathroom has been thoughtfully designed to offer a matching stylish four-piece suite inclusive of a full-length bath, a fully tiled shower enclosure, a vanity unit with sink, a heated towel rail, and the W.C. Externally, this property is approached via a private driveway that leads up and away from the street, giving a delightful feeling of privacy and seclusion within the plot, whilst in reality being perfectly placed to benefit from the many amenities, activities, and excellent schooling that the bustling community of Holt has to offer. Bordered with mature planting beds on both sides, this driveway can support 'tandem' parking for several vehicles, and leads to the detached single garage that also has another parking space positioned adjacent. With light, power, and potential additional storage that can be created beneath the conventional pitched and tiled roof, with minor changes (and any required consents) this space could be quite easily re-designed as a hobbies room or studio if required. Enclosed by fencing and a charming iron gate, the rear garden belonging to this house has been meticulously cared for and developed over the years and now exists as a flourishing outdoor haven in which to eat and relax. Ample patio space flows into a fair expanse of lawn, bordered again by planting beds which have been cultivated to promote an abundance of colour and interesting plant life that allows for vibrancy through the changing seasons. Additionally, there are small and medium sized trees as well as bushes that can be found along the fringes of the garden, which further add to the feeling of privacy and rurality. There is a secure wooden garden shed in situ within this well-organised outside space that can often be found bathed in plenty of direct sunlight, owing to the excellent South / South-Easterly aspect. The pretty village of Holt is conveniently situated approximately two miles from the centre of Bradford on Avon (with efficient train links to Bath, Bristol and London), three miles from Melksham and Trowbridge, and eight or so miles away from the thriving Georgian City of Bath. This property benefits from a handy bus service to a range of destinations that picks up from a stop just down the street, and also has access to 'high speed' fibre-optic broadband. Village amenities include a well-stocked general store, two churches, two public houses, a post office, primary school, and recreational facilities inclusive of two floodlit tennis courts, basketball court, children's play-area and a sports field - which this property is more-or-less situated on the door-step of! Also situated within the village is the stylish and popular 'Glove Factory' development, which provides handy office and social spaces for local people to enjoy - Popping in for a coffee or a meal here is highly recommended! In addition, there are numerous beautiful walks and two National Trust properties, namely The Courts Gardens and Chalfield Manor. Local residents in Holt currently benefit from free access to the Courts Gardens through the year. Secondary schooling is also well catered for, with a range of excellent and popular schools within an easy reach of this property in almost all directions out of the Village.
