A fantastic opportunity to purchase this unique property in a non estate , semi rural location, yet within walking distance (c. 0.5 mile) of the local amenities in Whitley village. This old stone farm cottage has been extended over the years and now offers a fantastic 4 bedroom family home with options to still put your own mark and style into it. A truly excellent plot in total of c 0.3 acre, of which the lawns and orchard to the rear are complemented by an outbuilding perfect for an office studio/workshop or potential conversion to an annexe. 

In a stand alone position on Westlands lane, this property offs so many options for many different types of buyer. Once you have parked up on your extensive driveway, the front door is positioned on t he side of this period property. On entering, the space opens up in front of you with a spacious hallway area, 2 storage cupboards and a further area which would be perfect as a study space. There are plenty of options to kick off those muddy boots and hang up any coats, one of which is the utility room which doubles up as the downstairs cloakroom as well. It's such a good size, there is space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and additional cupboards for storage. The kitchen/diner is a characterful space with exposed stone wall, old stone fireplace and plenty of room for a large farmhouse table (if you removed the breakfast island). Plentiful units run all the way along one side and the wooden floor boards extend from this space and into the hall, study area and utility room. Also off the hall is a fabulous sitting room. Larger enough for all the family to gather but so not big that it loses its cosy feel. Centralised around the stone fireplace with it's log burner, this room also has French doors out onto the garden for those summer days. Currently housing both sofas and a dining table, this could also offer an option for more formal dining. 

Upstairs, there are 4 good sized bedrooms. The master bedroom overlooks the stunning garden, has built in wardrobe and also an ensuite shower room. A super room with more space than may be immediately apparent. The 2nd bedroom is located at the other end of the landing area and is also a good sized double with built in wardrobe, bedroom 3 again is a double room with built in storage and lastly, bedroom 4 is a small double/generous single and perfect study/hobby room. All rooms feature stone sills to modern double glazed windows. In addition to the ensuite shower room, there is also a large family wet room. Once housing a bath, this spacious area consists of a generous shower area, WC and basin along with heated ladder towel rail. 

Externally, there is a further door from the study/hall area which brings you out onto a covered stone veranda where you could have a couple of chairs or even some seating for a duller day, or alternatively it simply makes the perfect place for a log store and outdoor pots. The garden to the rear is a real delight with a large gravelled area for seating, with a couple of steps up onto the extensive lawn which is dotted with fruit trees and framed by mature trees and shrubs. A pond for fish or wildlife is set just into one corner and the central path leads you to the added bonus of a very large workshop and studio. Both areas are perfect for storage but also other uses including an art studio, workshop, detached garden office or even, with a connection to the drainage, an annexe. There is already light and power along with water and a secret garden area lies just behind for those who want complete escape from the rest of the family. Lastly hidden behind the bushes is a very long and spacious shed for all your garden tools and ride on mower. Back towards the property, the extensive driveway space provides parking for a parties worth of cars and a stone built, tiled roof double car port offers additional covered areas. This could easily be converted into a full garage by the addition of two up and over doors, and also has a side door giving access from the garden. 

All the property is heated via oil fired heating and is also on mains drainage. Double glazed windows are all up to date and fitted throughout. The property is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN!

Situated at the Whitley village end of Westlands Lane, this property is just over 1/2 mile walk to the renowned Pear tree Inn, community led village shop (open 7 days a week), Sprockets café and bike shop, a golf and cricket club.

    When I decided to set up my own estate agency, it was important to bring back the values that I felt have been lost over the years by other agents. We have 4 key goals which are to act with honesty, integrity, expertise and with a personal touch. Moving home can be stressful, and we are here to guide your through the process as your personal property advisor. Instead of simply opening up more offices, I want each of our property professionals to be a specialist in their own area and provide the same exceptional level of service that we have become known for. All our property professionals are highly experienced and have the same passion to provide an outstanding level of service to you. There are no plans to be the biggest agent in the many areas we cover, but we do aim to have the best reputation. Jaine herself has built an excellent following in the Corsham and Melksham areas, we are now expanding our areas through our growing team of specialist area property professionals. Please do get in touch if you would like us to help you sell your home.
