Seller Insight:
What is your favourite room of the house and why?
The garden - the shapes and structures afforded by the planting and sculptures change so radically with each season, yet look so stunning regardless of the weather, it's always a joy to experience.
Who do you think would be the next ideal owner?
A family who loves to embrace the joys of both country living and entertaining friends. I'd like to think they’ll have pets, enjoy nurturing the garden, and relish everything this gorgeous home has to offer.
What do you love most about the house and why?
Apart from my love of the garden, the house is fun and quirky. Every room has a different character and is equally enjoyable by the fireside in the winter, or in the garden room in summer.
What do you love about the local community?
They are so welcoming and friendly. The dog-walking community is a joy. Calne is a lovely town with fantastic surrounding countryside (notably Bowood House). The nearby country walks, historic towns and ancient sites are beautiful and offer plenty of opportunity for volunteering.
How easy is it to commute from here?
Chippenham station is approx. 15 minutes’ drive, and takes just over 1 hour to London Paddington.
What made you choose this property over others that were available at the time?
At the time, there was such a great deal of potential on this house and grounds, which had been somewhat neglected. It also offered a configuration that allowed my elderly father to have his own "apartment" area. And the setting is stunning.

Outside:
The gardens at Wayside have been professionally designed by the well-regarded AH Design Studio to create a beautiful and striking outdoor space. The grounds are incredibly private with mature hedging and trees lining the boundary.
